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

2026 / wk 23-30 / v. 524-525
- 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

2026 / wk 21-22 / v. 521-523
- 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
- 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
- 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

2026 / wk 15-20 / v. 518-520
- NewBackup audio recording for meetings. You can now keep the original audio of a transcribed meeting alongside the transcript, so you can listen back to what was actually said. The first time you start a live transcription, Tana asks if you'd like to turn this on. You can change your mind any time from the command palette using "Enable backup audio recording" or "Disable backup audio recording". AI meeting notetaker, Live voice transcription
- NewDrag and drop between groups updates fields. In a grouped outline view, drag a node from one group into another and Tana updates the field the outline is grouped by. Drop a task into the "In progress" group and its status changes; drop one into another person's group and the owner is reassigned. Works for options, options from supertag, date, and the tags system field, and you can drop into empty groups too. Views
- NewCopy node ID command. A new "Copy node ID" command in the command palette puts just the ID of a node on your clipboard. Useful when you want to point an AI tool like Claude Code or Codex straight at a specific node over MCP, without copying the full link and trimming the URL parts off. Command line, API and MCP
- ImprovedPaste code and keep the formatting. Copy a code snippet from Claude, GitHub, or your editor, and pasting it into Tana now creates a proper code block with the right language for syntax highlighting. Before, the same paste collapsed into a single line of plain text. Copy-paste and export, Outline editor
- ImprovedSnappier autocomplete with thousands of entries. Picking from a tag that has thousands of entries, like a big list of people or companies, now finds the right one sooner. The match you want tends to be at the top of the list after fewer characters. Nodes and references
- FixedLong field values stay inside the card. In cards view, a long field value like a URL no longer spills out past the edge of the card. It trims with an ellipsis instead. Views
- FixedSigning into the local MCP server from Claude Code. Signing into Tana's local MCP server from Claude Code no longer fails with an "invalid_redirect_uri" error. API and MCP
- FixedLocal MCP server handles multiple requests at once. When an AI tool sends several requests to Tana's local MCP server at the same time, they no longer interfere with each other and fail partway through. API and MCP
- FixedCase-sensitive text searches in MCP. The textMatches operator in searchNodes now correctly matches patterns that contain uppercase letters, and the /i case-insensitive flag takes effect. Before, any pattern with an uppercase letter silently returned no results. API and MCP, Search nodes
- InfoDesktop and mobile apps will soon be renamed to Tana Outliner. An update to the Tana Desktop and Mobile apps will roll out soon, renaming them from Tana to Tana Outliner. Everything else stays the same: your data, your settings, and your app icon. On Mac, if you keep Tana docked, you may need to re-dock it after the update. Tana Outliner for desktop, Tana Mobile

2026 / wk 11-14 / v. 514-517
- ImprovedSupport for Claude Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.6, GPT 5.4, and Gemini 3.1 Pro. Added support for Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6, OpenAI GPT 5.4, Gemini 3.1 Pro (preview) and deprecated older models. Tana AI
- ImprovedDefault AI model for chat. Paid accounts can now set a default AI model for chat. Use the "Set default AI model to" command or edit the AI model field in user preferences. The chosen default applies to all AI chats unless overridden by a per-chat or per-agent model selection. Use "Reset default AI model" to revert to the system default. AI Chat
- FixedMeeting transcript processing failures. Fixed Text Processing Agent failures that were preventing meeting transcripts from being processed correctly. AI meeting notetaker
- FixedPARENT.fields search with multiple values. Fixed PARENT.fields searches for multiple values not working for all types of search queries. Now also compatible with LINKS_TO and COMPONENTS_REC. Search nodes
- FixedCalendar events with meeting links misclassified as tasks. Fixed calendar events with meeting links being classified as tasks instead of meetings. Events containing meeting links now automatically classify as meetings regardless of attendee count. Calendar integration
- FixedAlphabetical sorting with formatted text. Fixed alphabetical sorting issues with inline references and formatted text. Nodes with bold text, inline references, and other formatting now sort properly by visible content instead of appearing first. Nodes and references
- FixedSafari and iOS save errors. Fixed 'Saving changes locally failed' error that was appearing frequently on Safari and iOS. Your changes save reliably without these concerning error messages. Workspaces
