Wiki View on Sketchnote for documentation!

July 4th, 2023

It's been a while since we met each other in your inbox. And to make up for it, we've got a slew of new features and tweak announcements to make in this newsletter. So, without further ado, let's tell you everything that's up with changes on docs, forms, calendar... and a brand new WIKI VIEW!

Wiki view is here!

You asked, and we delivered! Sketchnote now has an exclusive wiki view. You can get started by clicking on the new file option and selecting the wiki option.

Why this view, you ask? It's only the best way to easily create your product or service documentation! You can create an organization-wide master wiki where your company's knowledge will fully reside.

Add or link files within this central brain file to create one single source of truth for how your business works. The silos of created files will divide information between different departments and help them sync together. As your company grows, you can continue documenting everything from use cases to dos and don'ts in one single hub.

To link files, simply bring up the / option and choose files. Create a new one or add an existing one to it. The best part? You can make as many wikis as you need for any project or department you want!

Check out how it works in the view above!

Table of contents in every doc

Docs now have a table of content that will help you navigate to the right section quickly within seconds. Every heading you add to your document will get logged onto the table of contents. It not just acts as an index to show you a glimpse of all that's inside, but also clicking on the header turns it into a navigator.

Smooth, right?

Emojis on docs

Do we need to explain this one? Emojis really enhance what you wish to say on docs, and also act as great accompaniments to your headers. You can now add an emoji to your doc from within Sketchnote. Simply type in ":" and describe the emoji you want. Select the right one from the dropdown and you're good to go.

Psst: Adding emojis to your headers also puts them on the table of contents we spoke about above!

New calendar enhancements

We know you love using calendars. At Sketchnote, we do too! So we decided to take the simple-looking calendar and add a dash of color to it! Now, you can see a band of color on each task in your calendar, which corresponds to the column on the Kanban board.

For example, say you have 3 columns on your Kanban named Backlog, In Progress, and Completed with red, yellow, and green as assigned colors. A task under the backlog column in red will also show up with a red band in the calendar.

Bonus: You can even see label colors on the task strip!

Another neat update to the calendar is that if you check off the task as complete, it will blank it out in the calendar. This way, you never need to worry about if you've finished your task or not.

Form UI changes

We're not done just yet! Over the last week, we've also given a new look to Sketchnote forms! Now you can toggle between create, results, preview, and settings from the left-hand side panel on forms. This makes navigation a lot quicker and your form looks much neater!
