Workspace admins can now set how long SAML authenticated sessions last for. Organizations have different policies around how frequently users should be asked to re-authenticate. Now you can apply those policies to your Whimsical workspace.

This is available to Org plan customers who have enabled SAML.

You can get set up at https://whimsical.com/workspace/settings, or learn more here.

Right-click anywhere on a board and select Add comment to place a comment wherever you like. You can also move comments around freely by dragging and dropping them.

You can now create Whimsical files right from within your Google Docs. If you haven’t added our Google add-on yet, you can install it from Google’s Marketplace right here.

Tooltips no longer have to be grey—you now have the option to change their color.

When a Whimsical file is mentioned in your Linear issues, comments, or projects, we’ll add a backlink to them in Whimsical. Also, you’ll now see the status and title of Linear issues referenced in Whimsical.

We’ve rolled out a handful of annoteworthy updates to annotations:

• Annotation connectors will now attach to the objects they’re pointing at, and will keep their position even if you move things around.
• You can show or hide author names in annotations.
• Newly created annotations will inherit the color of the previous annotation.
• For easier access, we’ve added the annotation element to the diagram shapes menu.
• Or, you can just use the keyboard shortcut A to quickly create a new annotation.

You'll find HashiCorp stack icons in the Design/Development category of our Icon library.

We’re bringing three new features to the table. Tables in docs now support:

• Uniform styling with new rows or columns matching the style of previously added rows and columns
• Horizontal text aligment
• Icons

Diagram shapes now preserve your last saved color. Any shape added from the toolbar or with a shortcut will match the look of the last one you added to the board.
