Devin adds a visual Design Mode and links security findings to threats

Cognition announced a new release of its Devin coding agent on November 11, 2026, adding a visual Design Mode for per-property UI editing, improved stacked pull request visibility, self-set reminders for automation sessions, and the ability to link security findings directly to threats, according to the Devin Release Notes.

What changed in this release

• A new Design Mode opens a compact prompt bar for per-property editing when a user selects an element, with spotlight boxes, pencil annotations in five colors, and an eyedropper to pick colors from the preview.
• Stacked pull request visibility improved, with a shared stack-order preference also used by Devin Review.
• Devin can now set itself reminders to wake up in the future, including in sessions started by automations or service users.
• Security findings can be linked directly to threats: users can create a threat from a finding's Threat menu, unlink a finding from a threat, and search saved threats by title or number.
• Grouped repository setup suggestions for adjacent repos can now be approved together or individually.
• Bulk secret addition now accepts shell-style export lines while preserving # characters in values.

What it means for builders

Design Mode moves Devin beyond pure code generation into direct visual UI editing, letting builders adjust individual properties without leaving the visual preview. The security update extends Devin's existing security-scanning feature into a more structured vulnerability-tracking workflow, letting teams that run Devin continuously turn scan findings into tracked threats rather than isolated alerts.
