Drag and drop across tabs

r/Workflowy - 2026.01 Patch Notes: Cross-tab drag and drop, improvements to numbered lists, dates, and more|750xauto

You can now drag nodes between Workflowy tabs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Dia on PC/Mac and Safari on Mac. It works with Chrome’s split screen view too.

This makes it easier to move nodes between different parts of your outline without scrolling back and forth.

Note:

  • Both tabs need to be signed into the same account.
  • You can’t drag between different apps (like from the desktop app to your browser).
  • Dragged items might take a second to appear in some browsers.

Numbered Lists

  • Type [number]. followed by a space to create a numbered list
  • Start at any number (e.g., type 256. [text] to begin at 256)
  • Pasted markdown numbered lists (e.g., 1. [text]) are automatically formatted
  • Numbers are preserved in search results, zoom view, imported and exported text.

Super !

Peut on espérer un jour les fonctions “machine à écrire” et “contraste ” ?

Machine à écrire : la ligne d’écriture reste statique, centrée au milieu de l’écran par exemple.

Contraste : n’afficher clairement que la ligne ou le paragraphe en cours de rédaction. Le texte précédent étant lisible mais estompé.

Deux fonctions que l’on trouve chez Ulysses par exemple, et qui sont fort confortables pour aider à la concentration / éviter les distractions.

omg thank you so much for finally adding the drag and drop feature between split tabs, it removes so much friction!! had to go to Tana, only to remember how workflowy outperformed in every other aspect than the drag and drop pane feature
