New updates and improvements to Slite



November 2024

Better looking editor spacing

Docs look better now, have you noticed? We added some spacing between paragraphs to balance the pages and ease the reading.

Editor: stability and ready for the future

Our editor is receiving a lot of love and care: we're eliminating dozens of issues around tables and copy-paste. And we go over the whole codebase to make sure our editor is here to last, with more blocks and enhanced behaviors to come.

Receive notifications before a doc expiration

When a document's expiration is approaching, we'll send a notification 7 days and one day before the document expires.

Sunsetting Questions & Answers

We're about to migrate Questions & Answers to docs and retire this feature. We're developing a new way to ask questions and get answers; contact us if you're interested. If you don't have questions, but have a lot of answers, keep sharing this knowledge. Others using it will thank you.


October 2024

Import with more fidelity

Our import, from Notion, Almanac, or any HTML documents, is now closer to the original documents, supporting inline equations, colors, and complex formatting.

New imports can now land on their new dedicated public or private channels.

We fixed over 200 issues in the past months, and now offer a response to any issue within hours, at most within a day.

A new, quieter, color system

Our UI is designed to feel approachable, almost like a trusted notebook. The design team did a gigantic work to convey this feeling with our new color system!

Channel display settings

Our new Channel display settings allow you to identify docs that have become inactive aka 'cold' and show archived docs in their original place.

We use heat-mapping technology to gauge activity across your workspace and apply a heat level not only to individual documents but also to entire sections of your tree structure, also known as parent doc with many sub-docs. It pinpoints what your team engages with and what they don't. Docs that are active aka 'hot' are those recently edited, referenced in other documents, have sub-documents, and receive comments. The more inactive aka 'colder' a doc is, the fewer of these activities it has seen.

This new feature lets you highlight inactive docs directly from the sidebar, instantly revealing where your team is active and where they aren't.

But that's not all – these settings allow you to see previously archived docs in their original positions anytime, removing any concerns around archiving valuable information.

This combination of settings empowers you to identify the most-used docs by your team and confidently archive, knowing you can always access them exactly where they belong.




Slite is now available in French

Language and region settings are now available in Slite. Slite is for everyone, no matter where you are in the world. We want our tool to be easy and accessible for everyone.

n.b. Ask is controlled at the workspace level, ask your admins to turn it on if not available already.


Meet Doc status

Ask is not (yet?) capable of reasoning, and if you feed it with outdated or incorrect information, it will very confidently give you wrong answers.

That's why we built Doc status, a way to mark your doc as verified or outdated. Not only does it warn your teammates of irrelevant information, but it make sure Ask won't use them.


Simpler, more advanced tables

We finally completed our effort merging what we called "Simple" and "Smart" tables.

You can now just insert a table, add or remove the header to make it structured, have special column like tags, sort and so on.
And that also mean you can have rich text, bullet list, sketches and so on in tables with headers!


Refer a friend, earn cash!

This month, we also released our referral program. If you know a team who'd benefit from Slite, you can now share the love and earn some sweet rewards.

It works simply: earn 30% of their first year payments back in cash. Find out all the details  here .

Collection Board View

Board View is a new way for teams to work with Collections of docs in Slite. Visualize docs as cards to prioritize and track progress of projects or tasks in a Kanban-style view. Or move docs through steps of a process with a quick drag 'n' drop.

Organizing your work using cards lets you see your team's work in a whole new way. Sort, filter and customize how much (or little) info to show on each card and save multiple views to surface the right docs at the right time.


Backlinks in Questions & Answers

n.b. formally named Discussions
From a Question, you can now easily navigate back to any doc that the Question has been mentioned or embedded in. A great way to connect the dots and make it clear how the conversation relates to your team's work.

We've also cleaned up your sidebar by removing Questions & Answers from list of docs. Instead, you can find all your Questions rolled up in the Questions & Answers homepage.


A whole new way to work with knowledge in Slite

We've launched something special into private beta this past month that paves the way to a more human way to work (and think) as a team.

We call it  Ask .


What is it? Put simply, Ask is a way to answer anything you might wonder from your team's knowledge. Enter a question, and Ask will answer it using the power of new AI language models and the wealth of information your team has gathered over the years!
