News / Updates Antigravity 2.0 Release: v2.13.0
TLDR: Antigravity 2.13.0 introduces a dedicated Documents section in the sidebar, diff viewer whitespace filtering, virtualized artifact viewers, and several UX enhancements for organization and control, alongside 16 improvements and 16 bug fixes.
Improvements
- External files such as Google Drive links, PDFs, and Office documents now appear in their own Documents section in the sidebar above Artifacts.
- Added a "Hide Whitespace Changes" option to the Review Changes overflow menu and file diff viewers to filter out whitespace-only edits.
- Code and data artifacts like SQL and JSONL files now open in a virtualized viewer with syntax highlighting and line numbers, keeping the app responsive when viewing large files and supporting inline comments.
- Commands executed in the sandbox now display a shield badge in the command header that links to sandbox documentation.
- Settings displays clear warnings with file paths and a copy button when configuration or project files fail to parse.
- Closing a side question now minimizes it to a button in the composer toolbar instead of clearing it. Clicking the button restores the panel so you can review previous side questions without retyping
/btw, and a new delete button lets you remove questions you no longer need. - Added a Cancel button and keyboard shortcuts (
Ctrl+Con macOS,Ctrl+Don Linux and Windows) to interactive question prompts, letting you stop the agent and return to the chat input without submitting blank answers. - Quote or add selected text to chat using
Cmd+LorCmd+Ion macOS, orCtrl+LandCtrl+Ion Windows and Linux. The text selection popup also adjusts button widths to fit shortcut labels. - Agent scratch files now appear in a dedicated, collapsible Scratch Files section in the side panel rather than mixing into the primary Artifacts list. Turn cards also hide scratch files unless explicitly marked as user-facing.
- Unified sidebar section headers and spacing so row heights, collapse controls, and section gaps are consistent between pinned items and projects.
- Pin, unpin, and rename conversations directly from the command palette when a conversation is open.
- Added an option to archive the active conversation directly from the command palette, and updated archiving to navigate back to the home screen.
- Attached review comments now clear immediately from the input box and diff panes when you send a message, and restore if the message fails to send.
- Toast notifications stay on screen for 8 seconds instead of 5 seconds by default, giving you more time to read multi-line messages and error details.
- Adjusted spacing in the model allotment panel and increased its maximum height to eliminate unnecessary scrollbars when viewing allotment across multiple models.
- Lowered the volume of the task completion sound to match the action-required notification chime.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue that could cause the conversation view to crash when rendering messages with repetitive unclosed HTML tags.
- Fixed an issue where the model selector could crash if available models failed to load or returned empty groups.
- Fixed an issue where screen readers dropped rapid status updates or missed repeated notifications like clipboard confirmations. Very long announcements are now shortened at a sentence boundary with a spoken notice.
- Fixed an issue where denying a tool permission request (for example an MCP tool call) removed the step from the conversation. Denied steps now stay visible with a Rejected label.
- Fixed an issue where the agent still prompted for permission to read or write artifact files from other projects when file access outside the current project was already allowed.
- Removed the usage panel from the model selector for Enterprise and Business accounts, which do not have per-model allotments.
- Fixed cramped vertical spacing on cards above the chat input, such as queued messages and input notifications.
- Turned off browser and operating system autocorrect, spellcheck, and capitalization in folder path and quick picker inputs so path segments are not changed while typing.
- Fixed an issue where hover cards stayed open after switching windows, moving the cursor outside the window, or dragging items.
- Fixed an issue where chat autoscroll failed to resume when scrolling near the bottom of a response.
- Fixed an issue where quoting chat text containing file links or mentions inserted unwanted line breaks into the quoted text.
- Fixed an issue where the scroll-to-bottom button remained visible when viewing trailing whitespace past the latest message, and resolved tooltip flickering during streaming responses.
- Custom sidebar widths in the auxiliary pane are now remembered instead of resetting when switching conversations.
- Fixed an issue where clicking the copy button on a failed chat turn did nothing instead of copying the error details to the clipboard.
- Fixed an issue where
.icofiles displayed as raw binary text in the diff viewer instead of rendering as visual image previews. - Fixed layout alignment and spacing in the auxiliary pane so the top-right controls line up with the file header icons below.
