#  Changelog: VIP MU plugins [Staging]

The release window for [VIP MU plugins](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-go-mu-plugins/)
is currently Tuesdays between 08:00 and 22:00 UTC (09:00 and 23:00 UTC when Daylight
Saving Time is in effect in North America).  Changes made and deployed to the VIP
MU plugins Staging branch are labeled `[Status] Deployed to staging` and visible
in a filtered [VIP MU plugins pull request](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pulls?q=label%3A%22%5BStatus%5D+Deployed+to+staging%22+)
view.

By default, the staging branch of VIP MU plugins is deployed to one non-production
environment for all applications. This allows customers to test changes before they
are released to production environments. This also provides time for the VIP Team
to observe errors and test for bugs across a wider variety of applications.

 [ GitHub  ](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/7126)

 [ Permalink  ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-staging/vip-mu-plugins-v20260721-1/)

### Fixed

 * Fixed `admin_url()` resolving to the production hostname on sandboxes, which 
   caused cross-origin request failures for AJAX calls using `admin-ajax.php`.
 * Real-Time Collaboration: Preserved collaborators’ unsaved content and post meta
   when another user saves, prevented redundant empty autosave revisions, and restored
   undo and redo when plugins with incompatible meta boxes disable collaboration.
 * Real-Time Collaboration: Disabled Quick Edit for posts with active collaborative
   sessions and improved remote cursor and selection positioning while resizing 
   the browser window.

### Changed

 * Real-Time Collaboration: Updated the bundled Gutenberg integration from the `
   0.2-20260706-pr79021` build based on Gutenberg 23.5.0 to the `0.2-20260720-pr79021`
   build based on the July 20 Gutenberg trunk snapshot. The VIP RTC plugin remains
   at v0.3.2.
 * Real-Time Collaboration: Added independent controls for collaborator join, leave,
   and post-update notifications, and avoided synchronous CRDT updates while editing
   alone to reduce typing latency outside active collaboration.
 * Updated the wp-parsely submodule (used for local development environments) to
   version 3.23.4.
