We have some exciting releases this month, plus we're shining a spotlight on powerful features you might have missed and giving you a sneak peek at what's coming next in this month's product update.

Here's a look at this month's product update:

Next-Generation Shots Coming Soon

Get ready for a major upgrade to Shots by Waybook! We're developing an exciting new version that will expand beyond browser capture to include full desktop capture capabilities, making it even easier to document any process across all your applications.

Whether you're capturing workflows in desktop software, demonstrating complex procedures across multiple tools, or building comprehensive visual guides, the enhanced Shots will give you complete flexibility in how you create visual documentation. Along with improved browser capture functionality, this update will transform how you document and share knowledge with your team. Stay tuned for the launch!

Document Deadlines: Keep Your Team on Track

Due dates help your team stay aligned, accountable, and confident in what to focus on next. Set specific dates for fixed deadlines, relative dates for onboarding timelines, or recurring deadlines for policies that need periodic review - all automatically managed without manual intervention.

Whether you're onboarding new hires, managing compliance training, or ensuring annual policy acknowledgments, deadlines ensure nothing slips through the cracks. Clear expectations mean important training gets completed on time, streamlining onboarding, closing knowledge gaps, and supporting team performance with complete clarity on what's expected and when.

Glossary: Define Terms Across Your Documentation

Ensure everyone speaks the same language with Waybook's Glossary feature. Define specific terms, acronyms, and abbreviations once, and they'll be automatically highlighted throughout your documentation with instant definitions on hover.

This powerful tool enhances understanding by letting team members get clarity on terminology without leaving the content they're reading. Perfect for technical documentation, industry-specific language, or company acronyms, the Glossary ensures consistent use and understanding of terminology across your entire organization while saving you time explaining terms repeatedly.

High Priority Documents for Focused Workflows

Keep your content creation organized by marking your most important unpublished documents as high priority. When building out your Waybook or developing new content, this feature helps you focus on what needs attention first - whether that's critical compliance materials, urgent training content, or time-sensitive procedures.

Set priority during document creation or toggle it on and off while in draft mode, giving you complete flexibility as you build and refine your content. This tool is perfect for content creators and admins who need to stay focused on high-impact documents as your Waybook evolves and grows.
