Lists, cloud backups and a calmer sidebar

Checklists in the library become the backlog your teammates work through. Cloud computers are backed up and can move to a new machine. The sidebar shows sub-threads as a tree, and long threads get a timeline to jump through.

Highlights

  • Lists. A checklist in a library document is a list people organize work with. Hand a line to a teammate: its thread and pull requests show on that line, and the line is ticked once the work is merged.#487#496
  • Cloud computer backups. A teammate's cloud computer is backed up, and can be replaced onto a new machine.#425
  • Take over a teammate's browser from Home. When a teammate needs a person in its browser, take it over from Home and act on the whole computer. Messages queued meanwhile are kept and run once you hand back.#447#443#448
  • Sub-threads as a tree. Child threads sit under their parent in the sidebar, folded behind a caret. Long titles fade out instead of ending in an ellipsis, and the status dot moved to the right.#474#476#477#453
  • Timeline beside long threads. Jump to any of your messages in a long thread from the timeline beside it.#458
  • Ask about a library file. Select text in a library file and ask a teammate about it, from the file. The library opens on Recent files.#457#480

Improvements

  • Threads start at once. A new thread opens right away from every message box, without waiting on the server.#464#481
  • One Working line. A running turn's steps fold under a single Working line, with its time beside it.#482#484#485
  • Mail domains. Add a domain's DNS records on Cloudflare in one click, and follow forwarding steps for your mail provider.#473#472#470
  • Inbox. Done opens the next email, arrow keys move through the list, and the Inbox says what a thread did when it did not reply.#424#475
  • Pull requests and tickets. Teammates can take a pull request out of draft, and you can ask a teammate about its ticket without declining it.#462#463
  • Your data, your call. Delete a workspace or your account yourself. Terms, privacy policy, data processing agreement and subprocessors are published.#451#437
  • Previews. A thread's preview stays open on the same page when you come back to it. On your own Mac, idle previews pause, and each thread's preview opens at its own <thread>.localhost.#461#465#427
  • Smaller touches. The time shows above a message that comes after a pause, panels open full screen on phones, and Skills has its own Settings section.#456#452#498

Fixes

  • Turns stopped for memory go on. A turn stopped by a server reset now carries on by itself.#493
  • Kept previews. A kept preview no longer loses its thread and shows "Thread not found".#467
  • Loading. The dashboard retries reading your account instead of loading forever, and design canvases no longer crash on iPhone.#455#490
