1.9.7 Sep 7
What's New in 1.9.6
A REBUILT STRUCTURE
Folders and hubs are gone. Everything now lives in one simple hierarchy: organization, category, project. What used to be called workspaces are now categories.
WORK IS NOW A TREE
The Work screen is a full navigation tree. Drag rows to reorder them, tap the row menu for quick actions, and create anything from two lightweight sheets.
A CLEARER TAB BAR
Tabs are split into places you go and tools you use. Notifications moved back into the header, and More is now a proper screen organized into three colour-coded sections.
LIVE CHAT
Messages arrive the moment they're sent. You'll see read receipts and who has seen a message, a connection indicator when the network drops, and a retry button if a message fails to send. Recent conversations load instantly on open.
DIRECT MESSAGES
DMs now have their own list, separate from your channels.
SPREADSHEETS
Open and view spreadsheets right in the app, from anywhere a sheet is linked.
ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
- Vault AI status is now shown with clear icons
- Fewer unexpected sign-outs, with sessions refreshing quietly in the background
- Various performance and stability improvements
1.9.6 Aug 26
This update introduces a smarter way to share and discover work:
• Shared with me — folders and projects shared with you now live in one place on the Work tab. Pin your favorites and jump straight in.
• Discover public workspaces — browse and join your organization's public workspaces and projects, no invite needed.
• Join to view — found a project in search or chat you're not part of yet? Preview it and join with one tap.
• Folder invites — invite people directly to a folder and they'll get access to everything inside it.
• Clearer access messages — if something isn't available to you anymore, you'll see a helpful message instead of a blank screen.
Plus fixes and polish: chat now offers retry instead of going blank, pull-to-refresh shows its progress properly, moving projects between folders is more reliable, and notifications take you to the right place.
