Netlify Visual Editor deprecation and end of life timeline

Netlify deprecated Visual Editor, the tool previously called "Netlify Create." It reaches end of life on February 8, 2027, after which it won't be available or supported. New teams and projects can't enable it starting now. Teams that already have it on can keep using it until the cutoff, and the Visual Editor docs still apply until then.

Your sites stay live and your content stays where it is. Only the way you edit changes. If you edit in a CMS, nothing changes. If you already work with Claude or Codex, point your agent to netlify.ai to get the skills and tools it needs for your project.

Netlify's suggested replacement is Agent Runners. Open your project and describe the change, like "Update the homepage headline and swap the hero image," a mobile spacing fix on pricing cards, or a new About page with a contact form. You get a side-by-side preview, and nothing goes live until you publish. There's nothing to install or connect first.

Agent Runners runs on credits, so you need a credit-based plan or an Enterprise plan that uses credits. Legacy plans would need to switch.
