2026.2.8

This release is all about keeping you informed and saving you time. We've brought notifications into the desktop app, made it easier to reuse your work, and cleaned up the interface based on what we're hearing from you. Here's what's new:

✉️ Notifications are now visible in the desktop app

You no longer need to open your browser to stay in the loop. The desktop app now shows notifications directly — including new comments, mentions, and discussions started on your documents. You'll also see an unread count right in the title bar so you always know when something needs your attention. Mark notifications as read or unread, and click through to jump straight to the conversation.

📄 Duplicate Documents is now possible!

Ever wanted to use an existing document as a starting point for a new one? Now you can. Hit the new Duplicate action on any document and get an instant copy with the title ready to edit. It's a quick way to reuse structure, templates, or content without starting from scratch.

🗑️ Delete comments on desktop

Made a comment you wish you hadn't? You can now delete your own comments directly from the desktop app. A quick confirmation dialog makes sure you don't remove anything by accident.

✨ Overall Improvements in the UI

We gave the interface a polish pass. Document cards and list items now have cleaner action buttons, the sidebar got a fresh redesign, and the mobile panel is more accessible and easier to navigate. We also renamed "Delete Draft" to the clearer "Discard Changes" and improved how dates are displayed so you always see the time alongside the date. Many of these improvements come directly from conversations with our users — we're actively doing user interviews and listening to feedback to make sure we're solving real problems that real people have.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the app could show items in the wrong order when changes happened at the exact same time.
• Notifications now display the correct document title in every case.
• The email verification screen looks much better and is clearer about what to do next.
• Subscribing to a document now works reliably in all contexts.
• Search no longer breaks if it can't connect to the AI-powered search — it falls back gracefully to regular search.
• The "Import website" button on the desktop app is back where it should be.
• Fixed some visual glitches that could appear when the page first loads.
• Dates now always include the time, so you can tell exactly when something was updated.
• Notification timestamps now match the order they appear in the list — no more confusing mismatches.
• The "Subscribe" button no longer shows up in the desktop app where it wasn't needed.
