Product updates

Mentions for files have been improved. When you paste a Whimsical link into another Whimsical file, the link will now automatically convert to a mention, removing the bloat of raw URLs. You can also preview the file in a thumbnail on hover.

Customers that use JumpCloud for identity management can now add and remove workspace members with SCIM. Using SCIM lets your organisation centralize user management, and streamline onboarding and offboarding of users to Whimsical. This feature is available to customers on our Org plan.

Learn more about enabling SCIM for JumpCloud, or contact sales to upgrade to an Org plan.

Now you can add headers, assign paragraph styles and create lists in flowcharts, mind maps, and sticky notes right from the toolbar—or using the same keyboard shortcuts available in docs.

Type @ followed by a teammate's name to easily reference them in-line in docs and boards. Only mentions used inside comment threads will send notifications.

Text editing is now twice as fast and load times have been cut in half. Most notable for longer documents like recurring 1:1 agendas, blog posts, and project plans.

When typing accented characters:

• Characters are now inserted correctly using the Apple accent menu. Previously, two characters were inserted instead of one.

When typing in Korean:

• Hitting enter now ends the composition and inserts a new line. Before, users had to hit enter twice to enter a new line.
• Extra characters are no longer inserted at the beginning of an entry.

When composing characters: (e.g., Japanese)

• The first character no longer disappears.
• The cursor no longer jumps to the beginning of a line entry.
• Text no longer duplicates or submits accidentally before confirming the selection.

Discover solutions faster with AI-generated sticky notes. Enter a topic or problem and Whimsical AI will instantly generate a series of ideas or solutions on sticky notes.

If you're not fond of your current profile photo and don't want to upload a new one, you can now just remove it.

Text formatted as code now supports HashiCorp Config Language (HCL) for syntax highlighting.

Create concise summaries of public web pages and Whimsical workspace files with Whimsical AI. Just paste a URL to visualize its content in a flowchart, mind map, or series of sticky notes.

Here's a quick round-up of our latest bug fixes, focusing mainly on improvements in object layering:

• Right-clicking in a selected frame and section now opens the context menu instead of selecting an inner object.
• Clicking outside a comment on a view-only board now closes the comment.
• You can now resize a shape all the way down to its minimum height in one go.
• Shapes with multiple lines of text sized to the minimum height no longer get resized the next time you select them.
• Objects inside sections can now be consistently moved to the front or to the back.
• Once placed inside a section, objects now maintain their previous layer order.
• When duplicating connected objects, the connectors now keep the same position as in the original, rather than moving to the front.
• We've fixed a bug where the first character typed in some languages was not always displayed.

Flowchart shapes, when resized or expanded, will now expand vertically, in a downward direction.

Navigating comments is now so much better. Clicking a link to a comment will scroll you to threads, discussions and other inline comments. Searching comments within a board, doc, or even across files will bring you to the correct position in the discussion. Plus, we changed the comment highlight arrow from white to purple to make it more visible.
