After 2.5 years of adding features in v6, the Backpack team has launched a new major version. If you're not familiar with Backpack, it's an admin panel framework for Laravel - it helps you build custom admin panels, fast. And we've just made it even easier to use.

Backpack v7 launches with major improvements for Laravel admin panel development. Key features include Data Components that allow tables, forms, and grids to be used anywhere as Blade components, Chips for compact information display, Lifecycle Hooks for cleaner code organization, SaveAction Classes for better structure, and reusable Filters. The framework now supports easier brand customization through Skins and CSS variables. Upgrading takes 5-20 minutes for most projects and requires PHP 8.2+ and Laravel 12. Future releases will include AI Agent Kit, Chart Components, and Operation Tests.
