Copia Webhooks!

We're excited to announce the release of Repository webhooks for Copia! (webhooks are also available at the Org level)  Webhooks provide a way for Copia to send real-time notifications to your team through you favorite communication tool, such as Microsoft Teams, Slack or Discord. This means that you'll never miss an important update from your Copia repo again.

In addition, webhooks can support tools like Zapier, which allow you to create actions, and link Copia to other systems you may be using.

We have added a new section to the documentation called "Integrations", which provides step-by-step instructions for configuring webhooks for the following:

  • Slack
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Zapier
  • Discord
  • Jira*

(NOTE: Jira is a more advanced integration, using both 3rd party tools and webhooks supporting links to things like Commits, Branches & Pull Requests)

✖ In addition, there is a generic "Copia" webhook that can be used to configure webhooks for any other system that may support them.

We hope you find this new feature helpful. If so, add a comment and let us know how you plan to use it, or additional integrations you would like to see.  We love to hear how our customers are using the product!

Ignore Source Protected content for Studio 5000

In those cases where you may be storing projects with Source Protected content, Copia will default to flagging this content as "different", as we cannot determine if something has changed or not.  You now have the option to "ignore" these sections in this case, by toggling the new "Ignore Source Protected" switch found in the View Options menu for the navigation pane.

Amend Commit feature added!

We're excited to announce a new feature in the Copia Desktop app: the ability to amend commits!

This new feature allows you to make changes to your most recent commit, and is especially useful when you need to update your commit message, or forgot to include a file prior to pushing your changes. To use it, simply right-click on the most recent commit and select the Amend Commit option.  More information about this feature can be found in the documentation.

We hope you find this new feature helpful! If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know.

Siemens Step7 TIA Portal Library support

We’re pleased to announce that Copia now supports display and differences of Siemens Step7 TIA Portal Project and Global Libraries!  In addition, we have enabled auto-archive support for Global Libraries, so that you can continue to make changes in the native formats, and Copia will automatically archive/extract the library files to/from .zal## format to decrease storage space and improve data transfer times.

For more information, refer to the documentation about this new feature further supporting the Siemens Step7 TIA Portal software!

In both cases, you should receive a reply with a request ID that you can use for future follow-up and tracking.
