Changelog

Code documents and readable workspace export

• NewCode documents. Code you paste, import or add with "Create code document" becomes a code document, with a code editor, syntax highlighting and a language picker.
• NewReadable workspace export. Export your workspace as readable Tana Intermediate Format JSON, which you can import into a new workspace. Use "Export workspace as JSON" and choose this format or the full Tana JSON export.
• NewChoose the AI model for text-processing commands. Pick the AI model and reasoning level for a text-processing command, such as one that writes meeting summaries, by adding the "AI model" parameter to the command. Choose Default or clear the field to use Tana's fast model again; when the field is empty, the menu names the model the command actually uses.
• ImprovedAutomatic workspace timezones and a Set timezone command. Set the workspace Time Zone to Auto to follow the device you are using; new personal workspaces start with Auto. Today, searches and daily notes use the workspace timezone, while calendars and times in text use your display timezone. Change the timezone of a saved date or date range with "Set timezone" in the command line (Cmd+K on macOS, Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux).
• ImprovedPreview date changes as you edit. When you edit a date or its timezone, your document shows the new date while you edit. It is saved only when you confirm.
• ImprovedPer-supertag field names and descriptions. Give a field its own name and description on one supertag from the field's settings icon, or with "Configure field on #tag" in the command line. You can also hide the default description. Published pages and the Article view show them too. To keep field guidance visible beneath field names instead of on hover, turn on "Show field descriptions inline" in Preferences.
• ImprovedNew nodes stay in filtered searches and boards. Nodes you create in a filtered live search get the tags and field values the search requires, so they stay in the results. If a new node still does not match, it stays visible with a notice until you edit or hide it. In a board, "+ Add" in a column gives the new card that column's value instead of the supertag's default.
• ImprovedBanner sizes in card view. In card view, open Display, then "Banner size" to hide node banners or choose Small, Medium or Large. The size applies to everyone who views the node.
• ImprovedPasting a node into itself. When you paste a node into an empty row under itself, the paste options let you clone it there. When a pasted node is already in the list, the message tells you how to add a copy with "Duplicate".
• ImprovedTana pauses unusually large changes. If pastes, commands, automation or connected AI tools make an unusually large number of changes, Tana pauses them while typing and ordinary editing continue and your changes keep syncing. The top bar shows a "Paused" button: check for a repeating command or event, then click it to resume. Connected AI tools are told whether to wait, resume or make a smaller edit. On paid plans, AI tools using the local MCP server in Tana Desktop can make 10 times as many edits before Tana pauses them.
• ImprovedWhat's new opens by default. The notification inbox opens on "What's new" and remembers your last tab. A blue dot marks each tab with unread content, and unread notifications still open Notifications.
• ImprovedLarge workspaces. Opening and closing nodes and side panels is faster in large workspaces, and workspaces with a large Trash use less memory at startup and when you edit fields. In Firefox, very large workspaces are cached, so they no longer download in full at every start. The large workspace notice appears at 3 million nodes and explains how size affects loading time and memory use. Tana Desktop deletes old local caches left behind by earlier versions to free disk space.
• ImprovedClearer loading progress. If loading makes no progress for a minute, the loading screen shows the elapsed time, the current step, workspace progress and whether the browser is online. If a local save cannot finish, you can still download your unsaved changes.
• FixedPasting. Paste no longer replaces a node that looks empty but holds a description, a source link or references, including Tana Paste from the API and AI tools. Pasting thousands of lines, or text with many blank lines, no longer freezes Tana. After you paste a clone, the cursor is in the pasted node.
• FixedPasting Markdown. Markdown copied from an AI chat on Windows becomes nodes instead of one code block. Quoted lines are kept, fenced code becomes a code block with its tabs and line endings intact, and headings and lists no longer add empty nodes.
• FixedCopy as Markdown. An empty field keeps its name instead of turning into a bare "-" line, and a time in another time zone shows its zone, such as "17:00 JST".
• FixedSearch. Global search and @ mentions keep matches from your device when server search is slow or misses a node, and include your latest edits. Search no longer spins forever when a search fails, keeps finding new and edited nodes after a very large import or a mistyped date such as the year 20261, and lists a field only once when both the field and a node that uses it match.
• FixedSync after returning to Tana. A workspace no longer stops syncing or turns read-only when you come back to Tana and it reconnects. The "Unable to load workspace" message closes when Retry loads the workspace.
• FixedWorkspace invites and access. Pending invitations appear as "Invited" in the member list, and after you accept one the shared workspace opens without reloading. Accepting an invitation, creating, restoring or publishing a workspace, and changing permissions report success only when the new access works. Read-only access also covers file uploads, publishing and meeting bots.
• FixedSharing and publishing. "Share workspace" and "Unshare workspace" update the shared indicator right away, and Unpublish shows its progress until it finishes and no longer fails on leftover publication files. Published nodes keep reference names and details up to date.
• FixedConnected AI tools. AI tools connected through MCP show dates in your display timezone, read large outlines, long transcripts and lists of chats faster, and recover when the connection drops or Tana's remote MCP server stops responding. They can retry an import or edit without applying it twice.
• FixedInput API. The Input API works in workspaces with more than 750,000 nodes, and its changes appear in search. When you make too many changes, the error says when to try again and confirms that nothing was changed.
• FixedAI chat and model picker. New AI chats get a title that describes what the chat is about. On the Free plan, "Choose AI model" shows a Plus label and opens the upgrade dialog. Long submenus stay inside the window and scroll.
• FixedAI autofill. Autofill can choose from larger Options lists, including options from search sources, fills Options fields correctly when it picks more than one option, and leaves the field unchanged when no option fits. Settings on an autofill command override the supertag's autofill settings.
• FixedAI credits counter. The credits counter in the top bar updates a few seconds after AI chat and other AI calls, and the credits popover closes when you open "Manage account" or "AI Credit Monitor".
• FixedFields. Typing quickly over a selected option keeps every key, and Enter picks the option that matches what you typed. "Show all non-empty fields" hides an empty supertag field that has a default value, and "Hide field" works on it. Applying a supertag no longer adds a default value twice.
• FixedUndo and keyboard selection. Undo (Cmd+Z on macOS, Ctrl+Z on Windows and Linux) in the command line, search and other text fields undoes only the text you typed, not your outline edits. In Firefox, undo also covers the first typed character, and Shift+Arrow Up and Down move from a node whose text wraps into node selection. "Open schema" no longer fails while the workspace loads.
• FixedDate picker. Changing months no longer shows the month name twice, and the time zone list no longer covers the year and month buttons.
• FixedTana Intermediate Format import and export. Imports have clearer warnings and no needless "Download file" button. Exports keep field source supertags and option lists.
• FixedLive transcription. Live transcription recovers from temporary connection failures.
• FixedMobile capture and startup. Tana opens your workspaces when the network drops during startup. Capturing into daily notes in a secondary workspace no longer fails with time zone errors, and voice captures keep their formatted sections when another section returns no text. Mobile only.
• FixedApp Store purchases. An App Store purchase activates paid access for accounts that had an older Free plan.
• FixedMore fixes. Deleting nodes and setting up fields wait for missing data instead of failing. "Bring referenced node here" works across workspaces. Undo after you switch a paste option with the keyboard no longer clears another row. "Manage workspaces" no longer says that no workspaces match when you have only your main workspace.
• InfoSupertag default values. Search, sort, grouping, view filters, title expressions, AI prompts, AI chat, autofill and the API use the value a node holds. If a node does not hold a field, or you clear it, that field is empty, as the node shows, even when its supertag has a default value. An AI prompt that references such a field reports it as missing; write ${field|?} to make it optional.
• InfoPaste options are standard. Paste options are a standard feature, so the "Paste Affordance" toggle is gone from Tana Labs. If you had turned it off, paste options come back.
• InfoURL metadata is opt-in. Converting URLs to URL nodes keeps them plain. To add webpage titles, descriptions and images, turn on "Fetch URL metadata" in Tana Labs.
