2026 / wk 37-39 / v. 530-531 - Collapsible groups in list and search views

NewCollapse groups in list and search views. Click a group header or its chevron to hide its rows. The header shows how many rows are hidden, and the collapsed state stays with the view when you leave and return. Everyone using that view sees the same state. Views, Search nodes
ImprovedCount words in a panel. The "Count words" command reports word, character, and node counts for selected nodes and everything below them. With no selection, it counts the panel node and its descendants. Command line, Outline editor
ImprovedUse numbered periods in date filters. Search and filters accept periods such as NEXT 14 DAYS, LAST 3 MONTHS, and PAST 2 YEARS. Day periods start today; weeks, months, and years use whole calendar periods. Search nodes, Dates and calendar nodes
ImprovedKeep less precise dates visible in grouped views. Grouping by day now keeps rows dated only to a month or year in their own groups after the day groups. Existing saved views may show rows that were previously hidden. Turn this off for a view with "Show less-specific dates" in its grouping options. Views, Dates and calendar nodes
ImprovedTurn an inline reference into text. Use "Remove reference" in an inline reference's context menu to keep its text without deleting the node it points to. Nodes and references, Outline editor
ImprovedMore responsive search and backlinks. Navigating large workspaces stays more responsive while backlinks load. Searching and opening nodes with many children also causes fewer pauses. Search nodes, Related content
ImprovedMeeting transcripts in Markdown exports. Workspace Markdown exports include meeting transcripts as linked files, along with source material and earlier transcripts. Copy-paste and export, AI meeting notetaker
ImprovedClearer workspace loading. If opening Tana takes more than five seconds, the loading screen shows which stage it is working on. It also explains when the server cannot load a workspace. Workspaces
FixedRestore nodes from trash. Restoring locked settings nodes and opening trashed view definitions work again. An "Internal references" group shows which configuration or search nodes still refer to a node in trash. Workspaces, Views
FixedTranscript speakers keep their names. Meeting transcripts no longer label every participant as the same speaker. AI meeting notetaker
FixedMarkdown exports work again. Structured Markdown exports include supertag field values again, and Markdown export commands open the export chooser. Copy-paste and export, Supertags
FixedWorkspace downloads recover from interruptions. A workspace no longer gets stuck loading when a snapshot download is interrupted. Tana keeps the last usable cached snapshot while it downloads a replacement. Workspaces
InfoUse "Add to day" for daily notes. The command that adds a reference to a daily note is named "Add to day". "Remind me" still does the same thing for now, so existing hotkeys and saved commands continue to work, but it will be retired. Daily notes, Command line

2026 / wk 33-36 / v. 527-529

NewGPT-5.6 Luna, Terra, and Sol available as AI models. GPT-5.6 Luna, Terra, and Sol are now in the AI model picker for commands and chat, with reasoning levels from None to High. Luna adds an Extra High level, and new chats use Luna at Medium reasoning. Choosing your own model is part of a paid plan. Tana AI, AI Chat
NewThree shapes for Markdown workspace export. Exporting a workspace as Markdown now asks how to arrange the ZIP. "Workspace outline" mirrors your outline as folders. "Supertag folders" gives each supertag a folder of tagged items. "Structured vault" adds YAML fields, tag schemas, and links between notes, for moving a workspace into another tool. The last two let you choose which supertags to include. Copy-paste and export, Supertags
NewClick a table calculation to copy it. Click the result under a table column to copy it. Sum, Average, Median, Min, Max, Count, Values, and Unique copy the value as displayed, and a short confirmation tells you it reached the clipboard. Views, Fields
ImprovedIn-app help answers from the current documentation. AI help now draws on the current Tana Outliner documentation, refreshed daily, so answers match what the app does today. Citations point at the right page and keep their numbering across follow-up questions. Keyboard shortcuts and example markup render as written, and thumbs up or down on an answer records your rating. Tana AI
ImprovedCalmer calendar and date picker. Past events are dimmed so the rest of the day stands out, the day and week grids fill the panel instead of stopping short below the last hour, and the all-day row drops its label so events get the width. The date picker closes once you pick a date, and empty sections no longer leave a gap behind. Calendar integration, Dates and calendar nodes
ImprovedWorkspace API tokens stay manageable on any plan. The workspace API tokens tab is available on every plan, so you can review and revoke tokens even when creating new ones is not included. Deleting a token revokes it right away, and the tab shows whether it is loading, has no tokens, or could not reach the server. Input API, Account settings
ImprovedTana Outliner starts through a slow network. Tana Outliner retries a workspace snapshot that stops responding for a moment, rather than failing startup on the first timeout. A blocked web font request can no longer hold up loading, and workspace names containing characters like < and & read correctly in startup messages. Workspaces
ImprovedClearer names for screen readers. Screen readers announce supertag tiles and Manage workspaces rows by the name you can see, and a tile's spoken name includes the inline references shown on it. Navigation, Workspaces
FixedAI extraction no longer comes back empty. Extracting items from text or a voice memo, filling in fields with AI, detecting who spoke in a transcript, matching those speakers to meeting attendees, and matching mentioned names to nodes you already have could come back with nothing when there was something to find. They work again. AI command nodes, Tana AI, AI meeting notetaker
FixedMeeting-notetaker audio is more reliable on macOS. Fixed an issue where the meeting notetaker would intermittently lose audio on macOS. Tana Outliner for desktop, AI meeting notetaker
FixedDesktop MCP clients stay approved. Some MCP clients such as Claude Desktop will now keep the access you approved instead of asking again about every 30 minutes. Tana Outliner for desktop, API and MCP
FixedEditing focus no longer sticks until you reload. Typing could stop reaching the editor until you reloaded the page, and the caret could keep pulling back to a spot you had already left. Focus stays where you put it. Outline editor
FixedDialogs and hidden sidebars get out of the way. Closing a dialog with Escape or a click outside, or opening another one over it, finishes whatever was waiting on your answer. A fully hidden sidebar no longer catches clicks or keyboard focus. Outline editor, Sidebar
FixedSearch refreshes no longer duplicate rows. A search that refreshed while you were working could list the same node twice and overcount the items it filtered out. Results keep one copy of each node. Search nodes
FixedPasted outlines and angle brackets come through intact. Pasting a multi-level outline expands every branch, not only the first, so nothing looks like it went missing. Text in angle brackets survives as written, whether that is an address like <you@acme.com> or a placeholder like <name>. Links using app schemes such as message:, obsidian:, and zotero: keep their addresses through an edit. Tana Paste, Copy-paste and export
FixedExternal links, images, and downloads. Adding an image by URL no longer fails with an internal error, and an external link in the editor opens a single tab. Download on an externally hosted image, attachment, audio recording, or node background saves the file. When it cannot be fetched directly, Tana Outliner opens the original link. Nodes and references, Node types
FixedTemplate links install again. Opening any template link reported that the template was not found. Template links load and install again. Tana Outliner templates
FixedRepublishing switches cleanly between Tana View and Article. Switching an already published page from Tana View to Article refreshes what visitors see at its address. A page also stays up when one of its media files cannot be copied while publishing. Tana Publish

2026 / wk 31-32 / v. 526 - Faster editing in large workspaces

ImprovedFaster typing and panel opening in large workspaces. Typing in long documents is smoother, side panels like related content open faster, and expanding or collapsing a section no longer causes a visible stutter. The gains are largest in big workspaces with long outlines and busy panels. Outline editor, Related content, Supertags
FixedFixed expand/collapse quirks in side panels. Some sections showed an "Expand" label but did not respond to clicking. Expanding or collapsing any section also keeps your keyboard focus in place instead of moving it. Related content, Outline editor
FixedMarking nodes done no longer touches other fields. Marking a tagged node done or not done through the API or MCP, or when importing Tana Paste content, could overwrite other field values on that node. Now only the done status changes. Checkboxes and progress bars, Fields, API and MCP
FixedDrags and selections finish cleanly when you switch away. Resizing a column, dragging a panel, or selecting multiple nodes could get stuck if you switched to another window mid-drag. These now finish properly instead of leaving a stale drag active. Outline editor, Views
FixedEdits no longer silently stop saving after an error. A rare error during editing could quietly disable saving until you reloaded the page, so further changes never persisted. Saving can no longer get stuck off this way. Outline editor
FixedFewer unnecessary delete confirmations. Deleting a node no longer prompts for confirmation when its only counted references come from search results or its own descendants, since those are removed along with it anyway. Search nodes, Nodes and references

NewRemote MCP: reach your graph from anywhere. Tana Outliner now offers a hosted MCP server, also called Remote MCP, alongside the free local one. Point any MCP-compatible AI tool at your graph over the internet, with no desktop app running and no localhost setup. Authorize once and your agents can search, read, and create nodes from wherever they run, including cloud agents and the new Tana. Remote MCP is in beta and part of a paid plan; the local server stays free for everyone. API and MCP, Tana AI
NewVertical fields and collapsible fields. Fields can now lay out vertically, like a form, instead of only inline, and individual fields can be collapsed to keep a node tidy. Both were previously behind internal flags and are now on for everyone. Fields
FixedSearch returns complete results on large workspaces. On a large or partially loaded workspace, a search could silently drop matches whose nodes were not yet in memory, with no sign of why. Those nodes are now loaded before results are built, so search and API/MCP queries return the full set of matches. Search nodes, API and MCP
FixedStability fixes across the graph engine. Fixed a class of rare crashes in workspaces with cyclic references, where templates, title expressions, or field relationships point back at each other, and made the change recorder recover cleanly instead of stalling. Everyday editing is unaffected; these guard the edge cases that could interrupt it. Outline editor, Nodes and references

NewMermaid diagrams render inline in code blocks. Write a mermaid code block and Tana Outliner now renders it as a diagram for everyone, with no setup needed. A maximize button opens the diagram in a fullscreen viewer for anything too large to read inline, and pressing Space on a focused diagram does the same. Outline editor, Node types
NewPart-of breadcrumb navigator. A breadcrumb at the top of a node now shows where it sits in its part-of hierarchy, so you can see and jump up the chain of containing nodes. Long chains are shortened with a … in the middle. Available to everyone. Navigation, Nodes and references
NewGPT-5.5 available as an AI model. GPT-5.5 is now in the AI model picker, with selectable reasoning levels (none, low, medium, and high) so you can trade speed against depth for AI commands and chat. Tana AI, AI Chat
ImprovedLarger result sets from the API and MCP. Searches and child listings through the local API and MCP can return up to 1000 results when you ask for them. Defaults stay at 50 for search and 100 for children, so existing calls behave the same unless you raise the limit yourself. API and MCP, Search nodes, Input API
FixedLive search in AI context respects its result limit. When a live search node is part of the context you send to AI, Tana Outliner now honors the result limit set on that search instead of pulling in everything. Filtered-out results are left out too, keeping the context focused on what you configured. Tana AI, Search nodes, Views
FixedAdding the meeting bot to a call works again. Adding the Tana Outliner meeting bot to a meeting had recently started failing for everyone and now works again. Meeting agent, AI meeting notetaker
FixedClearer behavior when system audio is unavailable. Starting a recording with system audio enabled no longer throws an unexpected error when system audio access is unavailable. Tana Outliner now stops cleanly and surfaces the real reason instead of a generic "failed to start" message. AI meeting notetaker, Live voice transcription
FixedEmbedded tweets render again. Embedded posts from X (Twitter) had stopped rendering and could break the rest of the page when a post was missing some of its data. They render correctly again. Nodes and references
FixedQuieter empty state with a clearer message. The "nothing to show" placeholder no longer appears as a heavy gray box in light mode (most noticeable on the calendar and agenda views) and is back to quiet inline text. The message also tells you whether a search or a filter is responsible for the empty result. Views, Search nodes
