Faster search, collaborative tasks, and document merge

This month focused on three things: getting answers from your documents faster, turning tasks and routines into a place teams can collaborate, and giving you more control over the documents themselves. Here is what shipped in October.

Faster, smoother search

Search now streams results as you type, so you spend less time waiting and more time finding the right document.

• Results stream in faster the moment you start typing, with smoother real-time updates
• Search filters now keep your selected options after you search, so you don't have to set them again
• A redesigned Ask Findable history makes it easier to revisit earlier questions and answers

Tasks, routines and checklists your team can work in

Tasks and routines became more collaborative, with new ways to add detail, track progress and stay aligned.

• Add comments inside tasks, routines and deviations to keep discussion in one place
• Build checklists inside tasks, routines and deviations, with support for bulk creation and folders
• A new completed date field and clearer status, priority colour coding and date selection make progress easy to read at a glance
• Portfolio and year views give you a wider perspective on routine tracking across your buildings

Documents and drawings

New tools give you tighter control over how your documentation is organised and combined.

• Merge documents to bring related content together into a single file
• Clearer folder structure when uploading attachments, plus more reliable document deletion and synchronisation

Navigation and reliability

Smaller refinements add up to a calmer, more dependable experience day to day.

• An adaptive sidebar with toggle buttons makes moving around the platform quicker
• Portfolios now sort alphabetically and consistently across the platform
• A status banner keeps you informed in real time during any service disruption
• Fixed failed uploads and authentication issues in subcontractor workflows, so documents land the first time
