• Helpdesk: Agent-type user not assigned to a project posts comments with a signature.
• Mailbox: S/MIME signed emails from IMAP channels are silently dropped.

• Customer groups in YouTrack Helpdesk - YouTrack Helpdesk helps teams support external customers and manage internal service desks. With customer groups, you can now organize requests by company, team, or organization, and tailor the support experience to each group individually. Support teams can add reporters to groups manually or automatically based on email domains. For each customer group, agents can apply specific SLAs, appoint dedicated support teams, and introduce other customer-specific rules. Reporters in the same group can view tickets across their organization, follow progress, comment when their input is needed, and stay informed, without agents having to manually share requests with every stakeholder.
• Whiteboards with auto-layout and widgets - Whiteboards now help you visualize and organize project content more clearly. You can auto-arrange brainstormed ideas or project items into structured layouts based on card dependencies. When a board gets messy, auto-layout can help turn scattered notes into actionable plans. You can also add interactive widgets to keep important information close at hand. Additional improvements make everyday work smoother, including the ability to resize text, multi-card commands, undo and redo actions, and more.
• Redesigned Gantt charts - Teams can now plan and track projects more easily with redesigned Gantt charts. The updated experience makes it easier to navigate timelines, monitor progress, and manage dependencies. Improved performance lets you apply changes faster, even in complex projects. Additional improvements let you create tasks directly from the timeline, add backlog items using search, and quickly access frequently used charts.
• Simpler, more secure MCP connections for your AI stack - YouTrack doesn't require teams to adopt a specific AI workflow. If you're building your own AI ecosystem, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is becoming a standard for connecting AI agents with the tools and context they need. This YouTrack release brings improvements to MCP connections, making them easier to set up and more secure to use. Administrators can now configure MCP access without asking users to create permanent tokens. Instead, users can connect their AI tools to YouTrack by signing in with their YouTrack account. By connecting AI tools to YouTrack through MCP, you can bring project and knowledge base context into your AI workflows, create agent skills for working with tasks, build autonomous customer support processes, and more. These workflows can span everything from desktop applications like ChatGPT to terminal-based agents like Claude Code.
• New import options from ClickUp or Asana - You can now move to YouTrack using built-in import tools. New import options for ClickUp and Asana bring projects, tasks, users, comments, attachments, and other work data into YouTrack. Continuous import keeps your data synchronized between systems during migration, making it easier to transition at your own pace without disrupting ongoing work.
• Enhancements for app creators - Whether you're building apps for your own team or publishing them on JetBrains Marketplace, the new Enhanced Developer Experience toolkit makes development easier. New TypeScript support lets you start projects with npm create jetbrains/youtrack-app, while the new jetbrains/youtrack-workflow-types package provides TypeScript typings for YouTrack workflow environments.
• New YouTrack apps - The YouTrack app ecosystem continues to grow, with more apps created by YouTrack Certified Partners and independent developers.
• Other enhancements - This release also includes smaller updates that improve the overall YouTrack experience. JetBrains have improved the notification center's performance, enhanced the onboarding experience for administrators and users, introduced GitHub App authentication for GitHub VCS integrations, and more.

Turn planning into action with Whiteboards

• Whiteboards are a new, flexible space where you can visualize your projects as you work on them. They allow you to restructure existing work, plan what comes next, and capture everything along the way, all in one place.
• Start from scratch or bring in what's already in your projects, issues, support tickets, Knowledge Base articles, and add any notes you've collected along the way. Use cards and text blocks to shape your ideas, then turn them into new tasks or documentation with a single click.
• Links between cards reflect real relationships in YouTrack, and new connections you draw on the board are synchronized as actual task links inside your projects, ensuring they always remain up to date. As with all YouTrack content, it's up to you whether you want to use your Whiteboard for personal stuff or share it with the rest of your team to help you all move in sync.

Streamlined access management for projects

• Managing project access is now simpler. From the new People tab on the project overview page, administrators can add or remove users and groups, assign roles, and filter team members by permissions, all without having to jump between pages.

Use YouTrack inside your existing stack

• n8n integration - n8n is a workflow automation platform that connects your tools and services without code. YouTrack now has a dedicated node in n8n, so you can automate workflows and connect YouTrack with hundreds of apps, sync data, trigger issue updates, execute YouTrack commands, and build cross-platform workflows with ease.
• New Remote MCP Server actions for the Knowledge Base - For teams working from their existing LLM, IDE, or agent platform, this release has expanded the number of predefined actions available via YouTrack's remote MCP server. You can now use AI-powered tools to find, create, and update Knowledge Base articles and create tasks with pre-configured visibility.

Other enhancements

• YouTrack Helpdesk experience for standard users and agents - Enhanced the experience for standard users and agents participating as internal reporters in helpdesk projects, making it easier for them to submit and track their own requests.

When the product team needs to join the conversation, standard users now have a similar experience to agents when replying to reporters via public comments or email CC.
• Full-page notification center - You can now expand the notification center to a full-page view and reply to comments directly from there. This makes it easier to quickly respond to feedback or discussions without switching contexts.
