Hey there, Sparrow Innovators!
We're excited to introduce Refresh Workspace, GraphQL support for WebApp and Edge, and a Cancel button for better request control—along with major enhancements to streamline your workflow. Check out what's new!!
🚀What’s New?
GraphQL Support in Web App and Edge
- The web app now fully supports GraphQL, enabling efficient and flexible data interactions.
Dynamic Variables: Query filters, pagination, and nested objects for precise data retrieval.
- Enhanced Queries & Mutations: Fetch timeline items with parameterized inputs and update data seamlessly.
- Cloud & Browser Agent Support: Added support for executing GraphQL queries via cloud-based and browser agents, enhancing accessibility and scalability.
- Real-Time Sync: Subscription support for live data updates across multiple clients.
- Optimized Performance: Improved schema, resolvers, and caching for faster execution.
Smart Workspace Refresh
- To enhance collaboration and ensure users always have up-to-date data, the workspace now supports both manual refresh and auto-sync features.
- Instant Refresh on click
- A refresh icon is now available beside the search bar in the left panel. Clicking it instantly syncs the workspace, ensuring all users see the latest updates without reloading the page.
- Smart Auto-Sync
- The workspace automatically updates every 2 minutes to reflect changes made by any member.
- Users see real-time updates without disruption, ensuring seamless collaboration.
Enhanced Request Control: Cancel Button for GraphQL, WebSocket, and Socket.IO
- To improve user control and responsiveness, a Cancel button has been introduced for GraphQL, WebSocket, and Socket.IO requests.
- Instant Termination: Users can now bypass or stop ongoing requests without waiting for a response.
- Improved Performance: Prevents unnecessary resource consumption by terminating stalled or unwanted requests.
Enhancements for a Smoother Experience
- Teams and REST API now follow the new design system for a more consistent UI. Improved state management ensures faster and more reliable interactions.
- Global Search Enhancement: Implemented real-time search term highlighting, ensuring better readability and faster navigation. Users can quickly locate relevant results with improved visibility and an intuitive experience.
- Undo/redo shortcuts are implemented in input fields and code editors.
- The search editor now offers a more intuitive and visually enhanced experience. Users can quickly find results using Ctrl/cmd + F in the request and response sections with full search options.
- Error messages in HTTP, Socket.IO, WebSocket, and GraphQL requests are now dynamic, ensuring accurate and context-aware responses.
⚠️ Known Glitches
- Here’s what we’re still refining—because perfection takes time:
- The "Open in Workspace" button occasionally takes a detour.
- Sometimes, AI-generated cURL requests may produce errors, and parameters may not be properly separated.
- Query Explorer and Editor sync issues might play a bit of hide-and-seek in GraphQL.

Hey there, Sparrow Innovators!
We're excited to introduce Collection-Level Authentication, smarter request handling for WebApp and Edge, enhanced tab management, and major UI enhancements to streamline your workflow. Check out what’s new!
🚀What’s New?
Collection-Level Authentication
- Managing authentication just got easier! With Collection-Level Authentication, users can set authentication details once at the collection level, eliminating the need to configure it for each individual API request.
- New Button in Collection Menu – Easily create entities using a new button dropdown.
- Set Auth for Collections – Configure authentication directly from the collection menu for a seamless experience.
- Inherited Auth Option – Users can quickly apply collection-level authentication across all APIs within the collection by selecting the "Inherit Auth" option.
- This saves time, ensuring consistency and reducing repetitive setup. Any changes made to collection auth will automatically reflect in all associated APIs, including those in Test Flow.
Enhanced Tab Management
Users can now efficiently manage tabs with new right-click options:
- Close Tab
- Close Other Tabs
- Close All Tabs
- Force Close Other Tabs
- Force Close All Tabs
- Duplicate Tab
These options provide greater flexibility in handling multiple API requests seamlessly.
- Save API Responses & Rename Requests in Sparrow Edge and Web App
- Send an API request and save responses for future reference with a single click.
- Rename API requests directly from the LHS panel for better organization.
- Design System Enhancements for a Smoother Experience
- Improved AI Chatbot UI & updated Team Cards for a better user experience.
- Refined WebSocket, Socket.IO, and Environment UI for a seamless interface.
- Alert Messages added in REST, GraphQL, and Test Flows for better user guidance.
🐞 Squashed Bugs:
Now Sparrow is smoother than a freshly buttered pancake.
- Long-named APIs in Test Flow like to stretch their limits—sometimes beyond the UI’s comfort zone.
- Test Flow Tour Guides have a mind of their own—occasionally misaligned but still guiding.
⚠️ Known Glitches
Here’s what we’re still refining—because perfection takes time:
- The "Open in Workspace" button occasionally takes a detour.
- Query Explorer and Editor sync issues might play a bit of hide-and-seek in GraphQL.

- A white window occasionally appears during login in the web app.
- Switching between secured and unsecured WebSocket URLs may feel like a bumpy sleigh ride.
