Changelog

Everything your team changes now shows up for everyone the moment it happens, chat remembers what you were writing, and getting around is quicker. Everything that shipped this week:

• Live boards — new projects, comment counts, files, covers and members appear for everyone instantly, and you can watch a description change while someone types
• An open task stays up to date while teammates edit it, and your own changes no longer get lost when you have Workel open in more than one tab
• If your connection drops, Workel reconnects in place and catches up on anything you missed
• Chat keeps a separate draft for each conversation, so a half-written message never follows you into the wrong chat
• Messages still send while the connection is coming back, and the new message sound plays straight away
• The workspace switcher lists the workspaces you use most first, searches all of them and scrolls smoothly through long lists
• Sign in again and you land back in the workspace you were last in, on web, desktop and phone
• Signing out only signs out the device you're on
• Task notifications open the task right where you are, even from another workspace
• Escape and Back now close only what's on top inside a task or document, not the whole thing
• Big task lists and documents open and scroll faster
• The dashboard shows loading rows instead of briefly saying you're all caught up
• Three new colour themes: Spectrum, Aurora and By page
• A redesigned members and invitations page in Settings
• A refreshed compose box in chat and the assistant
• New members only join the projects they're added to, instead of every public project
• Workel for Mac gets a right-click menu, an unread badge on the Dock, find on page, safer downloads and a new app icon
• The phone app gets a live project board with pull to refresh, plus fixes for typing, chat history and live updates

• Sign in with Google, GitHub and Apple
• Pop-out chat windows, so a conversation follows you around the app
• Mute individual chats

• A Sunday weekly digest email summarising your week
• A redesigned dashboard

Web · Mobile

Notifications now go where you are. If you're active on your computer, your phone stays quiet; if you read something on one device, it's marked read everywhere. Do Not Disturb follows you across devices and can run on a schedule, and you can choose how much each device notifies you.

Notifications · Mobile

Some images and attachments in chat and tasks stopped showing after you refreshed the page. They now load every time, including ones shared before the fix.

Chat · Tasks

We tightened how Workel sends emails and push notifications. Unsubscribe links work with one click, mentions only reach people in the same workspace, and notifications on your lock screen show less private detail.

Notifications

Some people were signed out during short connection hiccups. Workel now keeps you signed in through them, and having Workel open in several tabs no longer signs you out of the others.

Web

The assistant now only sees what you're allowed to see in your workspace. Credits are charged by how much the assistant actually does, so short questions cost less, and error messages are clearer.

Assistant

Dragging projects into a new order in the sidebar is now smooth and sticks, even when teammates reorder at the same time.

Projects

The files you upload are now stored with backups in more than one location, so they stay safe and available.

Files

Only people with access to a page can now change it or follow its live edits, image uploads in pages are checked more carefully, and the editor is steadier overall.

Pages

Inviting people to a workspace or project is more dependable. Invitations now expire after a while, and you're only billed for a seat once someone accepts, not when you send the invite.

Invitations · Billing

Changing someone's role now takes effect almost immediately, direct messages stay between the people in them, and buttons you don't have permission to use are hidden instead of failing when you click.

Permissions

Your plan's usage now stays accurate. Assistant credits and storage are counted as you use them, and deleting a project or removing a member frees up its space on your plan straight away.

Billing

Archive a project from the sidebar, a project card or the list view to tuck it away. Archived projects are hidden from your project list and sidebar, and one toggle brings them back into view.
