Multi-phase scanning
Summary: PortSwigger says Burp's new Scanner replaces the old queue model, where each item was processed in isolation from waiting to in-progress to done, with a multi-phase model that divides audit work into three areas containing multiple distinct phases, including five phases of active work. In the new model, each phase runs across all items before moving to the next phase, and a new UI tracks each item's progress through every phase, shown for all scan types including those using only passive detection.
What's compelling: The scanner's work is now organized so that every phase completes across all items before the next begins, which changes how scan progress and coverage are reported - the new UI applies even to passive-only scans, so what your team sees in the tool no longer maps to the old per-item queue.
