Properties provide transparency and context on your docs, and you now have a place to manage workspace-wide properties in your Account Settings. In addition to the Almanac defaults, you can get as creative as you like making your own default properties for your workspace.
Default properties are always added to all docs in your workspace. Examples: Teams or departments, roles, last opened date, reviewer or approver
Optional properties are available to add to any doc in the workspace. Examples: Projects, features, nicknames or codenames, company themes
Workspace properties are available for everyone, but only admins can create, update, or delete them. As an example, you could create a default "Team" property that would be included on all docs, and make an optional "Nickname" property for folks to use if they choose. We're all for adding a little fun and personality to our docs! Learn more about Properties.

A Home for Handbooks
As your team grows, so does the need to keep your docs and handbooks well organized. We released a new page to make it easier to access and organize handbooks in your workspace:
All Handbooks - all handbooks in your workspace
Your Handbooks - handbooks that you created
Shared with You - handbooks that you've been granted access to
To make your workspace navigation more flexible, you can "Favorite" a Handbook and reorganize your Favorites via drag and drop to prioritize the docs or handbooks that you always want on hand. Learn more about Handbooks.
Supercharged Search
Can't remember the title of that doc you're looking for? Not a problem. Almanac indexes all content within your documents and prioritizes search results with the most relevant matches, so you can quickly find anything and everything in your workspace.
Quality of Life Improvements
Super Admins now have more control and flexibility within your workspace, including the ability to:
View, edit, and delete all handbooks within your workspace
Change access permissions of handbooks
Edit the handbook index without being added as a "handbook owner"
Transfer ownership of all documents and folders
Toggle on/off your "Super Admin view" on the All Files page to reduce clutter (so you don't have to sort through ALL docs in your workspace!)
Assigning a task will now send email notifications and reminders, so you don't forget to follow up!
Prior to deleting a table with content, you'll see a confirmation modal to prevent accidental deletions.
Quickly add a splash of color to your docs with one-click defaults for highlighting, color box and quotes.
Spring (Bug) Cleaning
Inbox unread notification counts are in sync now.
You can cut/copy + paste color boxes and quotes.
Copying and pasting header section links now works as expected.
Adding images through URL links now works.
Mentions in headers are fixed, so you can reference docs or people without breaking your header formatting.
