What's New in CodeRabbit: Early November 2025 Edition

Early November was packed with powerful new features and exciting announcements, from customizable PR summaries to a major marketplace launch. Here's everything we shipped this month.

We're open-sourcing one of our internal tools! Introducing our AI-native open-source Git worktree manager CLI that works with all your AI Coding Agents. Check it out and have fun!

We're also happy to announce that CodeRabbit is now available on the Vercel Marketplace! Works natively with Vercel projects, 3-step install from Marketplace, and manage invoices and seat allocation directly from Vercel. Install from Vercel Marketplace.

Here's everything we shipped in early November 2025:

Customizable High-Level Summaries (Nov 18)

CodeRabbit now lets you customize the high-level summary in your pull requests, adjust the content, structure, tone, and formatting to match your team's needs.

What's new:

  • Use high_level_summary_instructions to provide custom formatting instructions
  • Format summaries as bullet lists, tables, multi-section layouts, or contributor stats
  • Move summaries to the walkthrough section with high_level_summary_in_walkthrough

This gives teams flexibility to shape PR summaries for their specific workflow—whether that's executive overviews or detailed technical breakdowns.

Note: Currently in beta for Pro-tier users. Pricing details coming soon.

UI and YAML Editing Modes in Web Interface (Nov 11)

The web interface now supports both UI and YAML editing modes for organization and repository settings, giving you flexibility to configure CodeRabbit the way you prefer.

What's new:

  • UI Mode (default): Interactive form with dropdowns, checkboxes, and input fields for guided configuration
  • YAML Mode: Direct YAML editing with syntax highlighting and real-time validation for advanced users
  • Easily switch between modes: Use the Edit YAML button to switch between modes (changes to Return to UI when in YAML mode)
  • Real-time sync: Changes made in either mode are immediately reflected when switching between them
  • Clean YAML output: Only non-default values are displayed in YAML mode for cleaner configuration
  • Clipboard support: Copy the entire YAML configuration to your clipboard for easy transfer to .coderabbit.yaml files

This enhancement makes it easier to manage settings whether you prefer visual forms or direct YAML editing, and ensures consistency between web interface and repository-based configurations.

See the organization settings documentation and repository settings documentation for more details.
