+AUGUST 19, 2026
+
+ * The Admin API user-management endpoints for Claude Enterprise (claude.ai) organizations (members, invites, groups, and custom roles) are now generally available. The anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13 header is no longer required on group and custom-role requests; requests that still send it are accepted unchanged. See User management.
+
+ * The Files API is now generally available on the Claude API. Requests to the /v1/files endpoints, and Messages API requests that reference an uploaded file, no longer require the files-api-2025-04-14 beta header. Requests sent without the header use the GA response format: file expiration (set expires_in_seconds when you upload a file; file objects report expires_at), and page and next_page pagination plus an ids[] filter when you list files. Storage is 1 TB per organization and the rate limit is 500 requests per minute. /v1/files requests that still send the beta header keep working and return the previous response format.
+
+ * Agent Skills and the Skills API (/v1/skills) are now generally available on the Claude API. Requests no longer require the skills-2025-10-02 beta header, including Messages API requests that load Skills through the container parameter. Requests that still send the header continue to work unchanged. See Using Agent Skills with the API.
+
+ * You can now restrict which sites a Claude Managed Agents agent's web_search and web_fetch tools can reach. Set allowed_domains or blocked_domains on the tool's entry in the agent_toolset_20260401 configs array; web_fetch also accepts max_content_tokens and web_search accepts user_location. Each configs entry is identified by its name and typed by an optional type, and requests that pass only name, enabled, and permission_policy continue to work; in the typed SDKs, configs entries become per-tool types. See Restrict web search and web fetch domains.
+ * Claude Managed Agents sessions that run in a self-hosted sandbox can now attach memory stores. The Python, TypeScript, and Go SDK workers download each attached store into the sandbox at its mount_path and sync the agent's changes back to the store. See Use memory stores.
+ * The session viewer in the Claude Console has been redesigned with a timeline minimap, a transcript grouped by model request, and an Inspector panel for session details and cost, raw events, per-tool statistics, mounted resources, and per-thread activity. See Console observability.

  * Workbench is now Playground in the Claude Console. Playground supports every Messages API parameter and includes templates that demonstrate API features such as code execution and web search. It shows the full SDK request and the API response for each run, to help you understand the API and build with it. For more, see the Claude Help Center or try it at platform.claude.com/playground.
