Improvements and Fixes

• We caught our Space filters toggle doing the limbo, trying to be both open and minimized at the same time. We explained that life isn't a magic show. So, we pulled off a fantastic bug trick and made sure it picks a side. No more toggle confusion!
• Our Docs cursor went on a wild escapade, getting stuck in a love triangle with other people's cursors. We played cupid and untangled the mess. Now, you can scroll through Docs without witnessing any cursor drama even when others are playing in the same Doc. Keep calm and cursor on!

Improvements and Fixes

• Expanded the Jira Sync to support bidirectional updates for Story Title and Description. Now you can bidirectionally update to your heart's content!

• Corrected an error so that all Story cards in the app are now set to the standard Story card density by default. Only the Stories Page cards are minimal by default. We know how important it is for things to look just right.
• Updated empty screens to make it easy for users to learn and get demos about features like Milestones and Advanced Reports available to the Business and Enterprise Plan so you can try it before you buy it!
• Fixed a bug so that Team avatars render the Team's color consistently across all of Shortcut. We believe in being consistent in all things, especially team colors.
• Squashed a bug so that new users of new orgs are automatically taken to their Stories Team Page with the All Work page collapsed. Because, we all need a little breather now and then.
• Corrected an error that caused the Help drawer on the Organization page to blank out. We don't want you to feel alone in your time of need.

Improvements and Fixes

• Resolved a bug that had the Team image on the Team Detail Page doing some strange acrobatics. It's back to looking normal and professional now.
• Kissed goodbye to a pesky Docs error that used to trap users in an endless game of closing the Shared button dropdown. You're now free to explore and collaborate without any unexpected surprises.

• Restyled the Quickstart Guide with fresh list items and icons, so new users won’t feel like they’re stuck in the early aughts anymore - AKA using Jira.
• Settled a fight between the Labels Page and Story Counts so that Story Bulk updates and Epic Deletions now act properly.
• Cured a Jira Import ailment that was plaguing some organizations.
• Counseled a feeling-left-out Docs bug that caused the toolbar to not show an active state when highlighted text was selected
• Put the Docs cursor in its place and told it to behave whenever entity badges wrapped lines

• Removed extra copy in the “More Spaces” menu, so now there’s even more-more space.
• Added a notification via Slack when someone @mentions you in a Doc comment - instantly feel like the most important person in the Doc.

• Added previous and next buttons on Docs with multiple Stories for quicker viewing of related Stories. Like turning a page in a story.
• Squashed a bug that caused the cursor to act like it's had too much coffee in a Doc.
• Fixed a bug that caused some Doc sub-pages to show “Create Story” instead of “Create Doc” on the button - the horror!

• Restyled the Integrations dialog to include updated icons and include newly added integrations and it’s feeling much cooler.
• Updated the churn survey to randomize answer options and ensure we learn how we can better improve the experience for all users = less churn.
• Fixed text in Workspace Settings to be readable by screen readers. Being readable for readers is a good thing.
• Made Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links open in a new tab, because honestly, how long are you going to keep these open?
• Billing FAQ links will also open in a new tab, because billing is almost as boring as any terms of service page.
• Jira’s the worst, but Jira Sync is the best, and we made step 6 more clear: “As new Stories are created and move through Workflow states in Shortcut they will automatically be moved to the corresponding synced workflow state in JIRA.”

Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Added “Open in New Tab” to the Context Menu = the more tabs the merrier.
• Squashed a bug that caused unselected Spaces to invade the side navigation = we respect your personal space.
• Fixed a bug that caused the Story dialog to close when users hit ESC = not all escapes are created equal.

• Squashed a bug that caused Workflow States to get cozy together when there were too many States on the Workflow Settings Page = again with the personal space.
• Added the ability to invite someone to a Team when inviting them into Shortcut = be congenial.

• Fixed a JIRA Sync bug so the Jira logo shows up on the Story modal when the user selects the right Workflow, and when the card is created and synced = even though the Jira logo does not bring us joy. (Jira = bad. Jira Sync = good.)

Improvements and Bug Fixes

• Projects are being phased out over time. We now explain this better in-app. (Also, check out our help documentation on how to transition from Projects to Teams, and Custom Fields. For questions about Projects, please reach out to our Support Team.)
• Fixed the Docs cursor problem when typing or deleting the "/" - no more slash and burn.

Improvements and Fixes

• Made a UX copy fix for the Spaces Menu tooltip, which incorrectly used Workspace instead of Workflow. Never to be confused again.
• Fixed a bug that caused a persistent red alert on the news icon in the top navigation. No need to feel like the world is ending anymore - at least in Shortcut.
• Consolidated Help and Learn content to open from Learn in top navigation, and Help in left navigation. Never feel confused - at least not in Shortcut!
• Updated Doc owner to not appear in the Doc Access dropdown if they are no longer part of a Shortcut Workspace. No need to keep exes around.
• Coming tomorrow: access to Public Docs will be available only to orgs on Team, Business, and Enterprise Plans.

Improvements and Fixes

• Improved our onboarding experience - we've assigned pre-populated entities to the pre-populated Team in Shortcut which you have to see to believe
• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused a Story on the Stories Page to be treated as if not viewable in the current space, but now we treat it right - it tells us it’s finally feeling seen
