+We’ve introduced a new Log Search parsing mode called Intelliparse mode, which extends automatic parsing to unstructured logs.
+
+Highlights:
+
+* Automatically parses unstructured log messages using parsers discovered from your existing dashboards
+* Extracted fields are available in search queries, filters, dashboards, and alerts
+* No need for Field Extraction Rules (FERs) or manual parsing logic
+* Powers [Copilot](/docs/search/copilot)'s ability to understand and generate insights from raw, unstructured log data
+
+To try it out, contact your Sumo Logic account team to request beta access. [Learn more](/docs/search/get-started-with-search/build-search/intelliparse).

+
+We've introduced a new parsing mode in the Log Search UI: Intelliparse mode. It extends automatic parsing to unstructured logs, allowing you to search and filter logs even when they don’t follow a consistent format like JSON.
+
+<!-- link to Copilot unstructured logs doc -->
+
+## Available parsing modes
+
+You can now choose from three parsing options in the log search UI:
+
+* **Intelliparse (new)**. Combines JSON parsing with automatic parsing of unstructured logs using pre-discovered parsers.
+* [**Auto Parse**](/docs/search/get-started-with-search/build-search/dynamic-parsing). JSON blocks within logs are automatically parsed.
+* **Manual**. No automatic parsing applied.

+
+## How Intelliparse mode works
+
+When you enable Intelliparse mode:
+* Logs are parsed using a set of parsers discovered from your recently used dashboards.
+* Fields are extracted automatically from both structured and unstructured logs.
+* A hidden operator is applied to your query to power this functionality behind the scenes.
+
+## Benefits
+
+* **No Field Extraction Rules (FERs) required**. Get field-level insights without manual parsing.
+* **Works with your existing dashboards**. Parsers are derived from log panels in recently viewed or edited dashboards.
+* **Improved field visibility**. Fields parsed through Intelliparse mode appear in the Messages tab and can be used in queries, filters, and dashboards.
+
+## Example
+
+If your dashboard includes a query like:
+
+```sql
+_sourceCategory=cassandra "Dropped table"
+| parse "table '*' from database '*'" as db.table, db.name
+```
+
+Then any matching unstructured logs like:
+
+`2025-04-09 11:20:25 * Dropped table 'logins' from database 'auth'`
+
+will be parsed automatically in Intelliparse mode, extracting:
+
+* `db.table = "logins"`
+* `db.name = "auth"`
+
+:::info
+* Parsers are discovered automatically from dashboard content. No manual setup needed.
+* If a dashboard is modified, the associated parser will update. Deleted dashboards do not currently delete parsers.
+* Queries using Intelliparse mode include a hidden intelliparse operator, injected automatically.
+:::
+
+## How Copilot uses Intelliparse mode
+
+Even if you don’t manually enable Intelliparse mode, you may encounter it when using [Sumo Logic Copilot](/docs/search/copilot).
+
+Copilot uses Intelliparse mode in the background to:
+* Automatically parse unstructured logs for natural language queries
+* Discover field names and values for more accurate suggestions and translations
+* Generate search queries that include the hidden `intelliparse` operator
+
+This integration allows Copilot to work with raw, unstructured log data; no setup required on your part.
