# Agent Canvas 1.17.0

Released September 9, 2026.

[View the full release on GitHub](https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands/releases/tag/v1.17.0).

## Highlights

* **Apps beta** — Canvas Extensions is now called Apps in Agent Canvas. Manage trusted custom pages in `Customize > Apps`; the Canvas Extensions API and `canvas-extension.json` format remain unchanged. See [Apps (Beta)](/openhands/usage/agent-canvas/canvas-extensions).
* **Local Plan Mode Enabled** — Plan, refine, and build from a plan on a self-hosted or local Agent Server backend.
* **Conversation tags and filtering** — Add tags from a conversation row menu, show tag chips, and filter the conversation list by tags or automation name. See [Conversations](/openhands/usage/agent-canvas/conversations).
* **Cloud LLM provider connections** — Cloud backends with an organization can manage and select shared provider connections in LLM settings.

## Improvements and Fixes

* Workspace hooks in `.openhands/hooks.json` now load automatically when you start a local Agent Canvas conversation. See [Hooks](/openhands/usage/customization/hooks).
* Self-hosted deployments can opt out of product telemetry with `AGENT_CANVAS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1` (or `true`) or the `--disable-telemetry` runtime flag.
* Automation permissions now distinguish viewing from managing automations. Users with view-only access can still manage automations they created.
