Roblox launches Package Overrides in Studio beta
Roblox’s Package Overrides Studio beta preserves local edits when packages update. Test update conflicts and coordinate beta settings across Team Create before adopting it.
Roblox launched Package Overrides in Studio beta on October 15, 2026, for developers who customize reusable packages. According to the October 15, 2026 announcement, Studio now records local edits as overrides and reapplies them after source updates. Existing packages and links remain unchanged until you enable the beta.
What updates will preserve
Roblox says your override takes precedence when the source changes the same property. If an update removes the edited instance, its override is discarded. Publishing a package incorporates its overrides into the new version. Edited packages can also retain Auto-Update, while publishing a parent with modified child packages is now supported.
Explorer marks changed instances with blue dots and added instances with green plus signs. Properties provides controls to revert individual overrides, though linked properties revert together. Our recommendation is to use these indicators during asset review: a local override can intentionally preserve a variation, but it can also prevent a source property change from taking effect.
Test before team adoption
Use Studio version 743 or later, open Beta Features from File, enable Package Overrides, and restart Studio. Roblox recommends enabling it for everyone in a Team Create session. Edits from collaborators without the beta are not tracked as overrides and may not survive updates. Disabling the beta stops tracking; recorded overrides may also be lost.
We'd start by testing a package in a test place this week: customize a property, change that property at the source, then update and inspect the result. Include a nested package if your team uses them. Roblox warns that parent updates can misidentify nested overrides as local edits, leaving stale values. Nested-package Auto-Update remains unavailable; nested versions can still be changed manually.
