The July 21, 2026 OTTO and Site Audit release ships one interface improvement and two bug fixes, resolving issues with bulk actions and backlink reporting while delivering an updated Site Lens experience.
✨ What's New
Site Lens Redesign: Site Lens has been updated with a refreshed layout for a more polished and consistent visual experience when reviewing your site structure inside OTTO SEO → Site Audit → Site Lens.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Deploy as-is bulk action restored: The Deploy as-is bulk action was missing from OTTO and Site Audit. It is now available again, allowing you to apply bulk deployments without interruption.
- Wildfire backlinks false positive resolved: OTTO Audit was incorrectly flagging certain backlinks as wildfire backlinks. This false positive has been corrected so backlink data now accurately reflects your site's actual link profile.
🛠️ How to Use It
- Open OTTO SEO from your Search Atlas dashboard.
- Navigate to Site Audit to confirm the Deploy as-is bulk action is available in your action menu.
- Review your Backlinks report to verify wildfire backlink flags reflect accurate data.
- Go to OTTO SEO → Site Audit → Site Lens to explore the updated layout.
📋 What to Expect
- The Site Lens redesign is a visual and layout update only — no changes have been made to underlying site data or crawl behavior.
- Backlink reports will no longer surface false positive wildfire flags that were previously triggered by specific link patterns.
- The Deploy as-is bulk action behaves as it did before the regression and requires no additional configuration.
