Open WebUI 0.12.5 introduces a Sessions tab in Admin Analytics. It lists chat token use, responses, errors and time spans, with filters and a view of saved replies and tool calls when ENABLE_ADMIN_CHAT_ACCESS is enabled.
That access condition matters: this is administrative inspection of stored conversations, not anonymous visitor analytics. Administrators should check their chat-access policy before exposing the feature.
Notes become page-based
Notes can contain pages and subpages that users organize, link, download and search individually. Live presence shows who else has a note open and can jump to their working location.
Model and automation workflows
Generated or edited images are saved into a selected terminal's working folder. The display-file tool can present chat attachments and attached knowledge-base files, not only terminal files. Automation failure becomes a selectable notification event with the automation name and error.
Document embedding is batched with a configurable buffer size. The release makes performance claims, but no independent speed or memory benchmark was run for this entry. Local and cloud model connections still have their own hardware, access and billing requirements.
