Critical Bug Fix!
Major Release:
This update extends the Kanban views to support tasks and we are introducing Teamspaces as Lab feature.
In the last few updates, we’ve added new ways to view and organize your notes, like Kanban boards and note properties. Now, we’re building on that by adding a new level: Tasks. Instead of seeing a list or Kanban board of notes, you can go a level deeper and see the tasks inside the notes. Group, filter and sort them by state, note, heading, tag or attributes inside your tags.
NEW FEATURES:
1. Tasks Kanban
• View all tasks from a folder (and its subfolders) as Kanban cards, grouped by status or other properties
• Drag and drop tasks between columns to change their status or attributes
• Filter tasks by tags, dates, or custom properties (through attributed tags) in the Kanban view
• Group tasks by tags or properties inside the tags (similar to note properties / frontmatter)
• Open the Kanban view from any folder by choosing "Level: Tasks" and "Style: Cards" in menu at the top
What are attributed tags?
Across different notes, you can add tags like "#todo" to a task and display them in the Kanban board.
Add attributes using "#todo(state: backlog)" for example (key: value pairs in parentheses).
The folder views let you filter, group and sort by these attributes in tags.
You can also change the icon, and icon color of tasks using attributed tags (example: "#todo(icon: hammer, icon-color: green-600)").
2. Teamspaces (Lab Feature)
• Create shared workspaces for team members to work on regular notes, daily and weekly notes, and tasks
• Invite team members by email to join a Teamspace with real-time updates
• Assign tasks, share notes, and track progress in a Teamspace
• Available as a Settings > Lab feature, and we’d love your feedback to improve it
To get started, go to Settings > Lab and sign in using any email address. Then create teamspaces and invite other NotePlan users. Teamspace notes are separated from private notes.
IMPROVEMENTS AND BUG FIXES
API and Plugins
• Extended the API to work with teamspace notes
Note Properties
• AI can now add properties to your notes. Expand the properties panel at the top and hit the AI button on the right side. It will add colors and an icon to your note. If you have notes in the same folder that already have properties, it will read those and look for patterns to apply.
• Added new properties to individualize your notes. You can now use `bg-pattern` with following values: lines, dotted, squared or mini-squared to give your notes a background pattern. This pattern (along with the background color) will be also used for the drawing canvas.
Search
• Improved search performance by ignoring non-note files, if you added any during an import (such as CSVs, SVGs, etc.).
Crashes and Memory Leaks
• Fixed various crashes and issues with increasing memory usage.
Other
• Improved copy and paste from websites or chatGPT. It added way too many linebreaks and couldn't handle lists and indentation correctly, now it can!
• Improved conflict resolution between two notes.
