This release brings five major features: **Docs & Files** tabs on goals and projects for keeping supporting materials close to the work, **draft check-ins** so champions can save progress updates before publishing, **configurable task reminders** that notify assignees at the right time, a **Work Map Timeline** view for schedule-oriented planning, and **keyboard shortcuts** for faster navigation across the app. Project links and resources that previously lived on the Overview tab now live on **Docs & Files**. + +## Docs & Files on Projects and Goals: Keep supporting materials where the work lives + +Projects and goals now have a dedicated **Docs & Files** tab. Instead of a simple list of links at the bottom of the project Overview, you can organize documents, folders, file uploads, and external links in one place — with activity tracked in the project or goal feed. + +On projects, existing key resources were migrated automatically. Nothing was lost; they simply moved to the new tab. + + + +See the guides for [docs and files on a project](/help/project-docs-and-files) and [docs and files on a goal](/help/goal-docs-and-files). + +## Check-ins: Save drafts and write with context + +This release improves how champions write check-ins on goals and projects. + +If your update isn't ready to share, use **Save as draft** instead of submitting. Drafts are visible only to you until you publish. Each goal or project can have one draft check-in at a time — reopen it from the **Check-ins** tab to edit, discard, or submit when you're ready. + +While you draft the next update, the latest published check-in appears inline above the editor. You can read what you wrote last time without leaving the page or opening another tab. + + + +See [check-in on a goal](/help/check-in-goal) and [check-in on a project](/help/check-in-project) for the full workflow. + +## Task Reminders: Notify assignees at the right time + +Tasks now support configurable reminders. From the task sidebar, assignees can be reminded before the due date, on the due date, when a task is overdue, or on a specific date you choose. + +Reminders are available for both project and space tasks wherever you open them: kanban boards, project task lists and milestone lists. The task needs at least one assignee before reminder controls appear. See [Configure task reminders](/help/configure-task-reminders) for details. + + + +## Work Map Timeline: See projects on a schedule + +Company and Space Work Maps now offer a **Timeline** view on the projects tab, alongside the familiar **Table** list. Switch **Work map view** to place dated projects on a timeline — useful for quarterly planning, cross-team reviews, and spotting schedule conflicts at a glance. + +**Table** remains the default, with status, progress, and next steps in a compact list. **Timeline** is there when you need to think in dates rather than rows. See [Work Maps](/help/work-map-overview). + + + +## Keyboard Shortcuts: Move faster through search and tasks + +Operately now has a keyboard shortcuts cheatsheet. Press **?** from anywhere in the app, or open **Help → Keyboard shortcuts**, to see the full list. + +In task lists and boards that support keyboard selection, use **j** and **k** to move between tasks, **Return** to open the selected task, and **a**, **s**, or **d** to quickly edit assignees, status, or due date. See [Keyboard shortcuts](/help/keyboard-shortcuts) and [Global Search](/help/global-search). + +## Additional Features + +This release also includes several improvements across the product: + +**Multiple task assignees** — Assign more than one person to a task. The CLI supports multiple assignees too. + +**12-hour and 24-hour time format** — Choose how times are displayed in your profile, separate from your timezone setting. + +**Subscriptions for space-level tasks** — Subscribe to space tasks the same way you follow project and milestone work. + +**Task slide-in from more views** — Open tasks from project and milestone lists in the slide-in view, and keep your selection when you close it. + +**Admin can delete feed items** — Remove incorrect or outdated activity entries from feeds. + +**Document modified date shown** — See when a document was last updated at a glance. + +--- + +## Sign up for Operately + +Ready to experience Operately v1.7?
