Hey Workflowy folks, this week we have some more useful fixes for you.
Shared items are now View-only by default to prevent accidentally sharing editable notes. The search operators ‘is:mirror’ and ‘is:backlink’ now expand correctly, and when formatting multiple items – the multi-select menu stays open so you can change your mind without having to select all the items again.
Sharing
- Shared lists are now View-only by default, whether shared by link or email.
- View-only users can no longer check off Todos in shared lists.
Search
- Nested searches in the Link menu were showing incorrect results.
- is:mirror and backlink searches now expand correctly.
Formatting
- Choosing a formatting option in the multi-select menu now keeps bullets highlighted and the menu open, so you can try different styles.
Chat with your Notes
- Pressing Enter no longer submits messages early when converting Japanese text in Chat with your Notes.
Let us know what you think about the fixes, and anything else you think we should know by leaving a comment.
Until the next one!
really appreciate the detailed breakdown of the 2025.4 updates! I’m curious, how do you see these changes impacting user collaboration? Also, any plans to integrate with platforms like Slope 2 for enhanced workflow efficiency?
I like the direction of the 2025.4 update, especially the view-only default for shared lists and the improvements to search and formatting. The patch notes show how small usability changes can make everyday workflows smoother. It reminds me of Slope 2, where simple mechanics become much more enjoyable when the controls and overall experience feel responsive. Nice set of practical improvements from the Workflowy team.
Muy buena idea el cambio de notas compartidas y las correcciones en búsquedas y formato.
Nota: No las he probado porque la versión 2025.4 todavía no aparece en mi navegador
