SaaS: Nov 8, 2025     On-Premise: TBD

Update (29 August 2026)

  • Hours-Based Resource Allocation (Beta): Added a company-wide option to allocate task resources in hours instead of percentages, with existing percentage allocations automatically converted to hours when enabled.

  • Enhanced In-App Guidance: Added in-app tooltips, guided tours, and contextual help to assist new users with key features and workflows.
  • Delete Users via API: Added the POST /api/v2/users/delete/[ids] endpoint to archive up to 50 users at a time, with support for optionally reassigning their work to another active user.
  • Expand/Collapse All in Tabular Reports: Added Expand All and Collapse All controls to tabular reports, extending the functionality previously available in the Workload tabular view.

  • Improved Session Timeout Handling: When a session expires, users can now log in from a new tab and return to the original tab without losing their current page or context.
  • API Blank Task Date Handling: When Planned Start, Planned Finish, or Duration is sent as null through the API, Celoxis now keeps the value blank instead of defaulting it to the Project Start Date.
  • Total Hours in Approve Time: Added total-hours visibility under Approvals > Approve Time, with separate totals for Pending and Approved timesheets.
  • Deleted Users in Project Team: Deleted users are no longer displayed as avatars in the Project view, including when they remain associated with completed tasks.

  • Encrypted Credential Communication: Strengthened protection of user credentials while they are transmitted.

Update (1 July 2026)

  • Added Multi API token: Each user can create, manage and delete up to five API access tokens from the API guide
  • Added API endpoint (/v2/tasks/move) to move tasks across projects.
  • Task and App Items' API results send checklist items instead of sending counts.
  • You can disable email and in-app notifications while updating entities by passing a notifications=false in the PATCH request URL.
  • Users can regenerate their calendar subscription URL from the calendar export screen, the old link stops working and clients must be updated with the new URL.
  • Search behavior update

    We’ve updated search to be keyword-based and more predictable for how people actually use it.

    Why we changed it

    After reviewing support tickets and real user searches, we found most searches were for specific items using exact text like IDs, codes, and short terms (for example HSM, 123, T00756, H-13). The older text-oriented search (stemming, language processing, operators) sometimes got in the way and made simple lookups feel unreliable.

    What changed

    • Search no longer uses text-oriented processing (like stemming).
    • We no longer index the full text inside Documents. Document search now matches on document metadata (for example name/description), not the document body.
    • Advanced operators are no longer supported. For example: +A (must include) and -B (must exclude) are no longer available.
