April 2026 Release Notes
April 8, 2026
NEW ADMIN & SETTINGS Authorization Code Flow as new OAuth 2.0 grant type
We're adding Authorization Code as a new OAuth 2.0 grant type you can select when registering a new OAuth 2.0 clients in Celonis Platform. Authorization Code is a secure, server-side process for applications to obtain access tokens to authorized user data without exposing credentials. For more information, see Registering your OAuth client in the Celonis Platform.
IMPROVED STUDIO Two-way binding added for enhanced variables in Views
We've changed how enhanced variables in View input dropdowns update to better reflect behavior expected by users.
Enhanced variables in View input components let you centrally create and manage information that is referenced and reused across Studio components and assets.
Previously, an input dropdown using enhanced variables always displayed the last value selected, even if the value of the enhanced variable had been changed elsewhere in the app. This could lead to mismatches between the enhanced variable value displayed in the input dropdown and the actual value of the enhanced variable.
With this change, the input dropdown will now always display the current enhanced variable value. If the current enhanced variable value is not available as an option in the input dropdown, an information message will display in both the app and in Studio, indicating that the enhanced variable value has been inherited from elsewhere.
For more information about enhanced variables, see Using enhanced variables in Studio components.
NEW STUDIO Visual mapping rules added for KPI card and Attribute list
We've extended visual mapping rules for colors and icons to the KPI card and Attribute list components in Views.
Previously, changing the colors used and creating and using visual icons wasn't supported for these components.
Extending this functionality to these components gives added flexibility around their use while providing a more consistent visual experience across Views.
In this example, a Primary Scale visual mapping has been selected for a KPI card and an up chevron icon added to the left of the KPI value.
For more information, see Managing Studio and component color themes and Icon mapping.
NEW PROCESS ADHERENCE MANAGER New mining algorithm
Users can now choose between using the strict or balanced model miner when mining a model. Both miner types analyze the process graph that is created from an event log and try to match the patterns of events within the process graph. They use different approaches where patterns of events can’t be matched. The strict miner takes into account every single variant in a model. In contrast, the balanced miner optimizes models for fitness, which can help when mining a model with many variants.

For more information, see Model miner types.
NEW PROCESS ADHERENCE MANAGER Adherence Explorer
The Adherence Explorer is the new analysis experience for PAM. It's a Studio View component that enables users to analyze deviations in the context of a broader analysis (such as building a dashboard with the conformance rate of a model). It seamlessly interacts with other View components, including charts, tables and Process Explorer.

For more information, see Adherence Explorer.
NEW STUDIO Control analyst access to Annotation Builder, Insight Explorer, and Process Copilot assets
With this release, admin users can now control which analysts can access, view, and edit Annotation Builder, Insight Explorer, and Process Copilot assets. This change creates an additional level of protection against unintended or negative consequences related to their use.
For more information, see the documentation for Annotation Builder, Insight Explorer, and Control analyst access to Process Copilot assets.
Note
This functionality is only available upon request. To enable it in your environment, contact us at Celonis Support.

NEW DATA INTEGRATION Java requirement for on-prem JDBC
Starting April 2026, upgrading to the latest on-prem JDBC JAR will require Java 25. This is not a breaking change, as customers who do not update their extractor to the latest JDBC version will not be affected. We will update this page with the exact release version once it is finalized. No immediate action is required, but upgrades should be planned in advance.
To learn more about the on-prem JDBC extractor, see: JDBC Extractor.
