Netlify Visual Editor deprecation and end of life timeline
November 10, 2026
Netlify Visual Editor is deprecated as of November 10, 2026, and will reach end of life on February 8, 2027. After that date, Visual Editor will no longer be available or supported.
Your sites stay live and your content stays right where it is. The only thing that changes is how you make edits.
Timeline
| Date | What happens |
|---|---|
| November 10, 2026 | Visual Editor is deprecated. No new teams or projects can enable it. |
| February 8, 2027 | Visual Editor reaches end of life and is no longer available or supported. |
If your team already has Visual Editor enabled, you can keep using it until February 8, 2027, and the Visual Editor docs still apply until then. No new teams or projects can enable Visual Editor.
How to keep editing
The Visual Editor, previously called “Netlify Create”, was designed before prompting updates was a common way people worked. Depending on how your team works, here’s how to keep editing:
- Using a CMS? Keep editing there. Nothing changes for you.
- Already using Claude or Codex? Point your agent to netlify.ai to get the skills and tools it needs to work with your project.
- Want to edit with a prompt in Netlify? Open your project and tell Agent Runners what to change. There’s nothing to install, configure, or connect first. You’ll see the result in a side-by-side preview, and nothing goes live until you publish.
Edit with Agent Runners
Agent Runners runs on credits, so you need a credit-based plan or an Enterprise plan that uses credits. If you’re on a legacy plan, compare plans or learn how to change your pricing plan.
A few things you can ask Agent Runners for:
- Edit content: “Update the homepage headline and swap the hero image.”
- Fix a layout: “The pricing cards stack badly on mobile. Fix the spacing.”
- Add a page: “Add an About page with our team and a contact form.”
Share feedback and get help
We’ll keep adding to what Agent Runners can do, and we want to hear what you’d like next. Tell us in the Netlify Discord, where the team and other builders are around to help and swap tips.
