Editable board tables, a calendar you can shape, and two-way links

Board tables became a place you can actually work

Open a board's Table view and it behaves like the spreadsheet you were probably keeping beside it. One click opens a cell, with the picker already open or the caret already sitting in the text. Escape reverts. Enter commits and drops you a row down, Tab moves you right, and the arrow keys walk the grid.

Columns belong to the view now, not to the board. Each header carries its property's settings and adds sort, pin and hide. Drag a header by its icon to move it. Drag its edge to resize it. Pin the ones you want frozen beside the title and scroll through the rest. Hiding a column from a table no longer strips the badge off every card on the kanban, which is what it used to do.

The footer answers how many and how much. Pick one calculation per column: counts and percentages on anything, sum, average, median, min and max on numbers and money, earliest and latest on dates. Money never adds across currencies. It says so instead. And when a board is big enough that you are only looking at part of it, every reading marks itself, so a partial sum never prints as a total.

Rows carry a number and a checkbox, plus an expand control on the title. Select a range and move, archive or change visibility in one go. Clicking a row no longer opens the card. The row is the grid now, so the card opens from that expand arrow.

The calendar reads like a calendar

The hour grid runs on a window you set. Pick a start and end hour under Customize view, or take the Work hours or Full day preset. The band still stretches on its own to cover anything scheduled outside it. A calendar that hides an event is broken.

Turn weekends off and the remaining five columns get noticeably wider. Set how tall an hour is. Set the grain a drag lands on, anywhere from ten minutes to a full hour, which is what finally gives an hour-long card room for its own title.

Event chips take their colour from the column the card sits in. The title leads, and the time range sits under it. Click an empty day to make a card there, or drag out its duration on the hour grid. Navigation moved into the board's own toolbar. The month sits in the grid's top-left corner and opens a date picker, and the arrow keys plus T, M, W and D do the same job from the keyboard. On a phone, Week and Day render as an agenda, because a week squeezed into a phone's width stops being readable.

One property, many links

A new property type holds several links at once, of several kinds. "Related work" on a card can carry two other cards, the brief page and the customer, where you used to need four separate properties each doing one job. Every entry shows its target's own icon.

You can narrow which kinds a property accepts, and narrowing is safe. Links already stored for a kind you stop offering keep working and keep showing. Widening loses nothing either. Turn a single-card property into a multi-link one and the link you had becomes the first entry.

See what links to a card

Links read from both ends now. Open a card's actions menu, turn on Show links, and you get two lists: what this card points at, and what points at it. Each one names the property the link was written in. The choice sticks, so the next card opens the same way.

You only ever see sources you could already open. A page you have no access to does not appear, and a feature your organization has switched off contributes nothing.

Studio groups lay themselves out

Group two things and you get a column that fills its parent's width and hugs its own height. It takes its spacing, its alignment and its reading order from the arrangement it replaced. Free composition is one control away, and switching either direction leaves everything where it was.

Sizing composes. A layer that hugs its content, inside a parent that fills, now reaches the frame instead of collapsing onto some old number. Two per-layer overrides cover the exceptions. Align one child differently from its siblings, or lift it out of the flow entirely so it keeps its own position and pushes nothing around. That is how a badge sits on a card without turning the card back into a free group.

Drag a child inside a group to reorder it and an insertion bar shows where it will land. Arrow keys do the same. Shift+A turns a container's layout on and off, or wraps whatever is selected in one. The inspector reports the size a layer actually renders at, names the container laying it out, and drops the X and Y fields when they would do nothing.

Studio designs an automation can build

Studio stopped being a template-filling surface for the tools you connect. A connected tool can author a design outright now. It can change one element inside a large design, and it can read a stripped-back outline first to find its way around. There is a written authoring reference for it to read before it starts.

Projects, frames, templates and folders all reorder over that same connection. Frames export to PNG or JPG straight into your Media Center, as assets you can reuse anywhere.

Also in this release

Money properties cover thirteen currencies, including the euro and the six EU currencies outside the eurozone.

An automation reads a multi-link property as the list of what it points at, and writes one back the same way. One property's links feed straight into another's.

Boards and pages put their header, tabs and toolbar on screen while the rest is still arriving. You no longer wait behind a loading screen for the whole page.

Board view tabs reorder by dragging the tab itself. A press that stays put still opens the view.

Grid views start at two cards per row. A single card per row read as a banner, not a grid, and views saved that way now show two.
