🪐Changelog - Slite
Collaboration, docs and decision-making are our bread and butter. But we've also got our sights set on giving you better tools for sharing content externally. With that in mind, this month's update adds more muscle to Public Docs in Slite. 
Here are the highlights:
Make your public-facing content discoverable by search engines,
Keep it on-brand by adding a custom domain and company logo, and
Let visitors easily copy it into their own workspace by adding a Duplicate button.
We've also added a few quality-of-life improvements to keep your workflow running smooth:
Convert a comment thread into a Discussion and centralise critical decision-making moments.
Copy/paste content inside tables, and paste to create a new table.
Give your content room to breath. Make the editor wider.
Read on for the details!

Make it googleable 
This is a biggie. Public Docs can now be indexed by search engines. Transparency and discoverability often go hand-in-hand when it comes to creating Docs that will be shared outside your team. Want to share your carefully crafted company handbook with the world? Make it easier for your customers to find help documentation managed in your Slite docs? Now you can.
Under the share settings you'll find a new option to
Allow SEO indexing . Toggle it on and you're good to go.
Document, Duplicate, Repeat 
The keen-eyed among you may have caught another new setting under the Share menu’s Advanced Options. Alongside the new SEO indexing option, you also have the option to enable a Duplicate button on Public Docs. This gives visitors a foolproof way to add a duplicate of your Doc to their own Slite workspace in a single click. Check out an example here .
Custom domains and branding for Public Docs 
After someone finds your newly SEO-enabled docs on Google's first page (
), give a branded experience from the start and use a custom domain on Public Docs (e.g. help.acme.com ). And, what's more, when a visitor lands on your doc, you can continue the branded feel by adding your company's logo.

Converting to Discussions 
Important conversations, feedback and questions from the team often surface in a Doc's comments. But sometimes you need to add richness to the conversation (and record the decision that gets made!). Convert a comment thread into a Discussion so participants can add screenshots, Loom recordings, and anything else that might help them make their point. And finish it off with a clear decision to drive next steps.
From the three-dot menu inside the comment thread, select
Convert to Discussion to create a new Discussion and bring in all of the content, participants and context to keep the conversation going.
Go Wide 
We've heard from a lot of you that you'd like to see the content of a Doc have more room to breath. So we've added a new option to expand the width of the Doc editor .
.
Check it out by opening the three-dot menu in the top-right of the window and toggle on 
Make editor wider . This will widen the margins of a Doc, expanding text, images and embeds to fit. In fact, it's enabled on this very doc. Magic, right?
Smarter Tables 
Last, but not least, it's now smoother to move around data in Smart Tables. Select multiple cells (of any type) and copy/paste them inside a table, or paste on a new line in the editor to create a new table. Easy peasy.
