Hey there folks, this week we have a couple of exciting updates to share with you!

Slash command is out in labs✨

That’s right, this week we released the slash command to labs 🎉

We’ve been working on this feature for some time now and are ready to share what we think is a pretty useful feature.

The slash command allows you to use the ‘/’ key on your keyboard to quickly access most of the commands you can perform in Workflowy without taking your hands off the keyboard. There are already a bunch of commands available and more are coming soon as new features are released to labs.

If you’d like to try them out:

Go to ‘Settings’
Make sure ‘Workflowy labs’ is toggled on
Toggle on ‘Slash command’
Experience the speed and power of slash command

Check out the documentation to learn more about the feature.

Just want to get right to it?

Then here’s our super-quick guide to use the feature.

1. After a space, hit the ‘/‘ key to bring up the slash command.

2. start typing the name of the ‘**Type**‘ or the ‘**Action**‘ you want to use, the widget will show only options that match what you type. Then hit ‘**Enter**‘ to perform the change or command.

3. You can also use your arrow keys to choose a ‘**Type**‘ or ‘**Action**‘. Then hit ‘**Enter**‘ to perform the change or command.

Be sure to let us know what you think about the feature or how you’re using it in the comments below. 📣

We read and discuss all the comments made about the labs features so please share any thoughts about the feature you think might be useful for us to know.

Workflowy user group

If you’re not already part of the Workflowy user group or ‘WUG’ for short – it’s essentially the official slack group where some of the most active members of the community gather to discuss Workflowy (and non-Workflowy) topics.

This group of folks also plays an important role in helping us kick the tires on new features before they go to labs. That means they’re the first to know when a new feature is added.

This week we released a feature to the WUG that’s super useful if you do any sort of long-form writing in Workflowy. ✍️ We don’t usually write about these releases because these features tend to be a little rough around the edges and might take some more tweaking before they’re ready for a labs release.

If that sounds exciting and you’d like to be on the cutting edge of Workflowy’s development, here’s a link to join in on the fun. Workflowy user group
