 # Changelog
 
+## [v0.18.3-alpha16] - 2026-07-14
+
+### Changed
+
+- In the commit dialog, the note that the previous revision used a different workflow is now shown in a warning colour (so QuiltSync's default-wins preselection can't silently switch the workflow unnoticed), with a little more spacing below the selector (<https://github.com/quiltdata/quilt-rs/pull/770>)
