Introducing FE2, The New Speckle Front-End

As announced in our latest post, we’re renaming some of Speckle’s core concepts to make them more accessible. A key part of this transformation is FE2 – the new Speckle front-end – which reflects these changes in both design and functionality.

But FE2 isn’t just a visual update. It brings meaningful improvements across the board:

• It matures existing features like Comments
• Introduces powerful new tools
• And most importantly, redefines how you interact with your models in Speckle

So, what’s new in FE2?

• Redesigned Onboarding New users now get a more helpful and intuitive experience from the moment they join.
• Federations Models (formerly called "branches") are now infinitely nestable. You can quickly group, subgroup, and open collections of models directly in the viewer.
• Model History & Changes You’re no longer locked into viewing a single version (commit). Now, the viewer shows the full model history, letting you explore changes over time — a feature previously only available in premium tools.
• Visual Diffing Compare any two versions of a model with one click. See exactly what was added, removed, changed, or stayed the same — all in seconds.
• Discussions Comments now persist across versions. Raise an issue in one version and resolve it in a later one — no context lost.
• Follow Mode Start live design reviews instantly. When Follow Mode is enabled, your colleagues can sync to your view, sections, filters, and camera as you walk them through the model.

There’s a lot more to come. FE2 is just the beginning of a new chapter for Speckle — one where more powerful features are easier to use and available to everyone.
