Feature Description Screenshot
Edit together

The new "Edit together" edit mode allows multiple users to simultaneously update a wiki page. Users can be invited to collaborate in real-time.

This way of editing is efficient and convenient in different scenarios, for example for writing meeting minutes, for drafting and brainstorming new content or during quick proofreading sessions.

Books We have modernized the approach to our book functionality. A visually appealing Bookshelf page makes it easy to organize and access books.

It is now also possible to add a wikipage to multiple books. Sinc we elimineted the bookshelf-tag, adding a page to a book no longer creates a new page revision. This ensures that the approval status of pages is not affected when a page is added to a book.
