Your whole workspace now opens in the browser
A workspace published from the desktop used to arrive in the browser with only its notes. PDFs, images, spreadsheets, source files and design canvases were simply absent, with no row and no message to say the view was partial, which reads less like "this is a partial view" and more like "my files are gone."
The browser now shows every file in the workspace, and the text ones open and save with the same size limits and the same safeguards the desktop editor uses. Opening a source file also used to replace the entire app with an error screen; that is fixed, and the panel behind it no longer appears where it could never have had anything to show.
Workspaces get a real name, in any language
Naming a workspace in Korean, Japanese or Chinese used to leave you with exactly one workspace. The first one worked and every one after it failed, whatever you called it. A name with a space in it failed outright, and all you were told was that something had returned an error.
A workspace now has a name you choose, kept separate from the address that points at it. Any language works, two workspaces may share a name the way two folders can, and the name you typed is the name you see everywhere you manage workspaces. When a workspace cannot be created, you are told the actual reason.
Every note has an address you can share
The hosted app lived at one address no matter what you were reading. You could not send a colleague a link to a note, pasting the address into a second tab gave you an empty workspace, and the browser's Back button left the app entirely.
The note you are reading now names itself in the address bar. A link can be shared, a reload returns you to what you were reading, and Back walks back through the notes you opened instead of closing the app.
Comfortable on a narrow screen
At phone width the editor was squeezed down to almost nothing, with room for the line numbers and little else. Below a certain width the side panel now steps out of the layout and opens over it as a drawer, so the note keeps the full width of the window.
The drawer also stays out of the way when you arrive straight at a document, from a shared link or a restored tab, instead of opening on top of the thing you came to read.
The web app stops offering what it cannot do
The largest category of fixes in this release is not missing features but convincing ones. Controls the browser could not honour still rendered, and panels that could not read your workspace drew their empty state instead of an error, so "this workspace has nothing" and "this was never built here" looked identical.
The workspace status panel was the worst of them: it reported that everything had been processed, about a workspace it had not managed to read at all. The import wizard ran all five of its stages before failing. Commands that could only ever fail were still offered, and turned you down only after you had written the whole request. Those controls are now either gone or honest, and when something is unavailable it says so in your own language rather than in English.
A faster first visit, and three things that quietly did not work
The first visit of the day to the hosted app used to sit for a long, unexplained pause before anything appeared. That pause is gone, and a first visit now opens at the speed of a return visit.
Three more things had only ever worked from the desktop. A purchase started in the browser now actually completes instead of ending nowhere. The map renders. And the people list on a shared workspace loads, so invitations, role changes and removals can be handled from the browser as they are on the desktop. The assistant also stops offering tools a hosted session does not have, which is what made it occasionally refuse a request it should have been able to handle.
