Doc views and reactions
Sometimes you'll write a doc, share it, but have no idea if people read it, or if they found it useful. Hard work deserves acknowledgement, especially when we're not all in the same office to give high-fives.
Now, you can see how many teammates viewed your docs.

And when you want to show appreciation, or give quick feedback on a doc, you can add an emoji reaction.

The in-app templates got a makeover
If you're like us, you might have lots of different team templates. Now you can sort through them more easily with a simple keyword:
We've also come out with a bunch of fresh, new, suggested templates. Take your pick:
October 2020 - Meet the new Slite
A new look
You’ll notice a new logo that’s based on our early days, when Slite was short for “satellite.” We’ve fully embraced this theme, along with other gems of newness (shout out to Rob en Robin for the playful illustrations) spread across our app and website .
October 2020
A new way to organize your teamwork. Meet Smart tables.
With each new project, your team accumulates many docs, and it's hard to keep a clear view on everything. Now you can see the bigger picture by laying our docs out in one place with their status, owners, and more in a Smart table.
You can also connect docs to Smart tables to see and edit their related information stored in the table right from the docs:
Skim lengthier docs with the Table of Contents
Wrote a long doc? Add a Table of Contents at its top so your teammates can leaf through its multiple sections. Type /table of content.

A clearer way to Catch up
Start your day with peace of mind that you're all caught up on what's important for you.
Catch up is one place to see where your team needs you, and what they've recently worked on.

Keep up to date and follow your team's changes with the Recently Updated list in each channel.
February 2020
Last month, we've been busy refining some of the Slite fundamentals your team uses daily to centralize their work. From better tables to PDF embeds, here's the round-up:
Tables got a face-lift
We've improved tables making them much easier to resize and add rows and columns.
Embed PDFs in your notes
You can now view your PDFs without having to download them and leave Slite.
Better PDF exports
Speaking of PDFs, we updated the exports to actually look like your Slite notes now. Check it out:
We couldn't embed this PDF file. Please refresh or upload it again.
New code snippets
We improved code snippets to support more languages (R and Kotlin), and you can now search through them.
Protect editing of certain notes
Switch Slite teams on mobile
You can now jump from one Slite team to another on your mobile app without having to sign in and out every time.
Insert images on mobile
Finally, you can insert images in your notes from your mobile app.
January 2020 - Happy new year!
We've recently released a bunch of highly requested features and improvements, here are the highlights:
New features
Dark mode
It's finally here! Give your eyes a much-deserved break in just one click. I don't know who's more excited: you or our back-end developer Alexandre, who's been wanting it for two years.
Create Hints
Sometimes there's specific information that your team really shouldn't miss. Some will call them callouts, others macros, we call them Hints. They let you give any tip, warning, or error message the special attention it deserves in your notes.
Simply type "/hint" to create one, and pick one of the four styles available.
Other enhancements
Wider tables
From now on, you can work more easily in larger tables by expanding them in your notes. You can also expand images, embeds, and code blocks when needed.
Search templates
You can now search for a template when you create a note instead of browsing the long list.
A faster Slite
The app launches 4 times faster, pinging a team member feels smoother and your members list in the admin area loads much faster.
