Space Channels now hold more than one conversation at a time. Start topic-specific chats right where your work happens – discussions now live alongside your notes, tasks, and documentation as part of your knowledge graph.

Chats are now native Objects in your Space. You can organize them into different views, assign tags to group related conversations, include them in Collections or Queries, and @-mention them from any Object for cross-referencing. As a system Type, Chat doesn’t support templates or layout changes.

The Chats Type Widget works like any other widget: you can pin it to your Sidebar, adjust its appearance by choosing how many chats to show, and pin individual chats for quicker access.

Unlike other Widgets, pinned chats display counters and mention indicators directly in the Sidebar. A temporary Unread section also appears automatically when new messages arrive, listing chats with unread content.

Right-click any Chat Object, or use the three-dots menu inside a chat window to open preferences and choose Enable all, Mentions only, or Disable all.

We’ve reworked the navigation layout for a more consistent way to move through your Channels.

Both Space and Chat Channels now share a consistent left-side navigation. You can resize or collapse the Widget Sidebar to fit your workflow.

Look for the clock icon at the top of your Widget Sidebar to open the history of recently viewed Objects.

In order to provide quick access to Objects you or your team have recently created or updated, we’ve introduced a new Recently Edited section. Support for personalizing the Widget Sidebar, such as hiding section you don’t need, is coming soon.

The Objects section, which brings together all objects of a given Type, has been reworked into a single, unified view for more compact organization. Only Types with existing objects are shown – when you create a new object of a Type, it automatically appears in the section.

The Vault now takes up less space, leaving more room for your work. Choose between a simple list or a view with message previews in your Settings, and swipe it away when you need more focus.

We’re already working on a future iteration that will support an icon-only Vault view for an even more minimal navigation experience.

The Context Menu has been updated and now surfaces key actions when the Vault is hidden. Alongside Channel Settings, it includes Pin and Mute options, Copy an Invite Link, and – importantly – access to the Bin.

You can now manually reorder Objects in Queries. The chosen order persists per View, giving you more control over how your lists are organized.

Added support for embedding the Excalidraw editor as a block – finally bringing quick diagramming into your notes and documents.

Added support for more symbol patterns – for example, typing != now converts to ≠ and ~= to ≈, alongside existing arrows, comparison, and operator shortcuts. Thanks to @larsb24 for the contribution!

Choose your preferred way to send messages: Enter or Cmd + Enter.

Keep text styles intact when copying Chat messages.

You can now zoom into images in the preview window for a closer look.
