Minor Release: September 5
✨New Feature: Updated UX for Project Page
We have redesigned the project page for a more intuitive and streamlined user experience. The new layout enhances usability, making it easier to organize and manage your projects efficiently - You'll see your activity as well as your team's in a single panel, with quick access to common features like Prompt Templates and Workflows.
✨New Feature: New Default Workflows
Introducing six new default workflows to help streamline the creative process - Whether you want to start from a sketch or use references images, these default workflows provide a pre-set path, allowing for quicker onboarding to core capabilities of Invoke. You'll find these workflows in your Default Workflows on the Workflows tab.
Major Release: August 23
✨New Feature: Prompt Templates
Prompt Templates can be used to quickly produce assets in a pre-configured style using a templated prompt, letting you focus on subject and composition in your prompts - but you can also use them in other creative ways.
Minor Release: August 1
General Bug Fixes
We have resolved a number of minor issues that could cause issues during log-in, and updating and managing galleries and boards.
Minor Release: July 18
✨New Model Management Feature: Hugging Face Model Validation
Users will be prevented from importing invalid models using the Hugging Face model form - Uploaded models now need to be formatted with a valid repository ID in order to import models.
Minor Release: July 3
✨New Gallery Feature: Board Pagination
Images are now organized by pagination instead of an infinite scroll - This is primarily intended to service users who have created extremely large galleries/boards, as they can now navigate to specific pages and identify information more easily with this.
✨New Gallery Feature: Metadata Search
Users can now use the search bar at the top of their selected board's gallery to easily search for specific images using a general metadata search -- Type in a prompt word, a model name, or any other information stored in the image metadata, and easily filter your images to only those you're actively looking to see.
Minor Release: June 11
✨New Admin Feature: SSO Auto-Provisioning
Enterprise: When adding users through SSO systems, users who log-in will automatically be provisioned an Invoke account with MEmber access unless the Enterprise seat limit has been reached.
✨New Admin Feature: Usage Breakdowns
Administrators for Premier & Enterprise accounts can now view breakdowns of usage by user, allowing for you to determine the activity and generation frequency of individual users.
Minor Release: June 5
Aligned with v4.2.4 of the Community Edition
✨New Feature: Image Comparison UI
Introducing a new image comparison UI with multiple modes for better visual analysis of generated assets. You can now use slider, side-by-side, and hover comparison modes to compare images more effectively. To get started, simply ALT+Click an image in your gallery, or right click the image and select "Select for Compare"
Bug Fix: Bulk Download UI
We have resolved authorization issues that users were experiencing with the bulk download UI if not logged in while accessing images.
Minor Release: May 31
✨ Uploading Model Improvements
You should find that uploading models is more streamlined and easier with updates to how we evaluate and analyze models upon upload.
✨ Training Improvements
A number of minor enhancements have been made to improve the ease of use for dataset management in the Training application. You can now manage and caption larger Datasets more easily.
Minor Release: May 21
Aligned with v4.2.2 of the Community Edition
✨ Undo/redo in Workflows
Undo/redo redo now available in the workflow editor. Currently, we group like changes together. Please let us know any feedback you have on how undo actions are grouped, so we can continue to make this experience as intuitive as possible!
✨ Load Workflow from Any Image
With this release, graphs are embedded in all images generated by Invoke. Images generated in the workflow editor also have the enriched workflow embedded separately. The Load Workflow
button will load the enriched workflow if it exists, else it will load the graph.
You'll see a new Graph
tab in the metadata viewer showing the embedded graph.
Graph vs Workflow
Graphs are used by the backend and contain minimal data. Workflows are an enriched data format that includes a representation of the graph plus extra information, including things like:
- Title, description, author, etc
- Node positions
- Custom node and field labels
This new feature embeds the graph in every image - including images generated on the Generation or Canvas tabs.
Canvas Caveat
This functionality is available only for individual canvas generations - not the full composition.
? Other Fixes and Enhancements
- Min/max LoRA weight values extended (-10 to +10)
- Denoising strength and layer opacity are retained when sending image to initial image
- SDXL T2I Adapter only blocks invoking when dimensions aren't multiple of 32 (was erroneously 64)
- Improved UX when manipulating edges in workflows
- Connected inputs on nodes collapse, hiding the nonfunctional UI component
- Use
ctrl/cmd-shift-v
to paste copied nodes with input edges - Fix: visible seams when outpainting
- Fix: edge case that could prevent workflows from loading if user hadn't opened the workflows tab yet
- Fix: minor inefficiency with control adapter auto-process (control layers only)
Major Release: May 9
Aligned with v4.2.0 of the Community Edition
Control Layers
Control Layers give you control over specific areas of the image by using the new Regional Guidance Layer type. Draw a mask and set a positive prompt, negative prompt, or any number of IP Adapters to be applied to the masked region. Global layers like Control Adapters (ControlNet & T2I Adapters), IP Adapters, and Initial Images are visualized on the canvas.
You can learn more about Control Layers by reviewing the help article.
❗ Interface Changes
A few important changes have been made to the interface as part of this release.
- Control Adapters and IP Adapters are now added to generations by using the Control Layers tab in the options panel.
- The Image to Image tab has been deprecated, and this functionality has been embedded into the Generation Tab - Simply add a Global Initial Image Layer
- With the addition of the Control Layers interface, the Image Viewer and Control Layers interface can be swapped between manually on the Generation tab by clicking the Switch View button on the top right of your workspace, or using the Z hotkey.

- Prompt Triggers: On both Main Models and Concept Models (LoRAs), you can now configure prompt triggers. Whether you use this for required terms in using that model, or are configuring default prompts that you want to use when accessing the model, you can type the < key in the prompt box to get an easy type-ahead menu for adding the prompt to your workflow.
