Release notes

25th May, 2021

What's new

  • Editable/published board links will now be shown in the URL, even for the users that do not need them to view the board. This is to make it easier to share the links that other users need to view the board.
    NOTE: If both the editable link and published links are enabled on the same board, the editable link will be favoured in the URL.

What's changed

  • Fixed a bug where a remote selection indicator for your own user would occasionally show when selecting a card.
  • Improved cut and paste between tabs for columns or to-do lists.
  • Inline links to Milanote boards will now load in the current window rather than a new tab.
  • Minor UI bug fixes and improvements.
