Product Update 2026.08: Panes and more…

By

September 7, 2026

Hello,

Panes are here! Keep multiple parts of your outline open side by side. We’ve also improved editing, Calendar, mobile, and reorganized the Help Center.

Panes

  • Much requested and finally here, you can now open Panes in Workflowy.
  • Panes keep multiple parts of your Workflowy outline open side by side in the same window.
  • Keep your Today node open while you work, reference notes while drafting a document, or move nodes between parts of your outline without losing your place.
  • Each pane is a view of an existing node, not a duplicate. Any edits you make in a pane update the original everywhere it appears.
  • To create a new pane, press the ‘New pane’ button in the header. To open a specific node, hold Alt (Option on Mac) and click its bullet, choose Open in Pane from the node menu, or type /open in pane.
  • Note: Panes are available in desktop browsers and the Workflowy desktop apps. No mobile support (yet).
  • For more, including keyboards shortcuts, visit the Panes help doc.

Improvements

  • Tables: Move a row using the standard Move Up and Move Down keyboard shortcuts.
  • Inline code: Typing two spaces at the end of inline code returns you to regular text.
  • Dividers: Pressing Delete immediately after typing a Divider title no longer turns it back into a bullet.
  • PDF previews: Closing a PDF no longer leaves a weird black rectangle over Workflowy.
  • Search: Use has:children to find nodes with child nodes.
  • Calendar: Move to Date is now available from the node menu.
  • Google Calendar: Sync recovers more reliably from temporary connection failures.
  • Mobile: The indent, outdent, undo, and redo keyboard accessory buttons now update immediately. No more lag.
  • Settings: A redesigned Settings screen brings clearer sections, consistent controls, and simpler navigation.
  • Billing: If a subscription payment is delayed, Workflowy now recognizes the existing subscription and prevents you from starting another checkout.
  • iOS: Upgrade to Pro directly from Settings.
  • Login: Password users can switch back to emailed login codes.

Panes are a genuinely useful addition — I used to keep two Workflowy tabs open to move nodes between sections, and having a second pane in the same window makes reorganizing so much smoother. I also keep my recipe notes in Workflowy, and when a recipe lists ingredient weights instead of cups I check a grams cups kitchen calculator to convert them before cooking.

Actualización sobresaliente. En verdad mucho de mi desarrollo se da gracias a su sistema de Bullets y con el calendario y ahora con los panes me dan mas fluidez para mi organización personal. Ya soy usuario de años de Workflowy. Sigan asi.

Panes are a great addition and having my Today list open while I reorganize a project has already saved a lot of back and forth. I use the same side by side setup for pay planning, and run a potential increase through a salary raise calculator.

This is outstanding! I fully appreciate and endorse the ethic of focus that Workflowy promotes and enforced before the arrival of panes. But there are times when having panes is essential to getting something done.

In the past, I have struggled when attempting to reorganize or restructure items or trees in my Workflowy. Having to switch back and forth while trying to keep track of what you are moving/copying/mirroring/linking and why was very difficult. Panes make that so much easier.

An example: I have a top-level item titled “Tips”. I put reminders there for technical tips that I need regularly and don’t always remember. I had several bullets of Workflowy tips there. I have another top-level item titled “Infrastructure” where I keep all my infrastructure-related items, including a bullet for “Workflowy”.

Rationalizing those two without panes was more work than I wanted to tackle. Opening a second pane allowed me to do the job in two minutes. I moved everything from the tips top -level bullet to the Infrastructure/Workflowy bullet, did some reorganization there, then created an internal link to the tips and pasted it back to the top-level “Tips” bullet.

Thank you for this great feature!
