We have some exciting new releases and a sneak peek at what's coming up in the next couple of weeks in this month's product update.
Here's a look at this month's product update:
Step Feedback: Know What's Working and What's Not
Your documentation is only as good as the experience your team has with it. Now, every step in your documents includes a built-in feedback option right in the footer, making it easy for your team to tell you what's hitting the mark - and what could be better.
Team members can leave a quick reaction (positive, neutral, or negative) along with an optional comment, giving you real insight into how your content lands. Feedback is captured in the document's comments and activity thread, and document owners receive a notification whenever new feedback comes in.
This means you can continuously improve your documentation based on real input from the people using it every day. No more guessing which steps need refining - your team will tell you.
Flow Charts Now Available to All Users
Flow charts have officially graduated from beta and are now available to everyone. Whether you're mapping out approval workflows, decision trees, or multi-step processes, flow charts give your team a visual way to understand how things connect.
If you've been waiting to try them out, now's the time. Add a flow chart to any document and turn complex processes into clear, easy-to-follow visuals that your whole team can reference.
More Control Over AI Actions
We've made improvements to AI actions across the board, with better output quality and a key change to how updates are applied. Previously, AI-generated changes were applied automatically. Now, you get to review and choose whether to apply each change before it takes effect.
This puts you firmly in the driver's seat. Use AI to speed up content creation and editing, while keeping full control over what actually makes it into your documents.
Time to Read Estimates for Every Document
Help your team plan their time with estimated reading times on every document. Waybook automatically calculates how long a document will take to read based on its content - and if you've embedded a video or other media, you can override the estimate to account for the actual time needed.
Time to Read is available in your document settings, the document information panel, and in the document manager as both a column and a filter. Whether you're assigning training or your team is fitting learning into a busy day, everyone can see at a glance what they're committing to.
Customizable Progress Matrix Views
Tracking your team's progress just got a lot more flexible. You can now customize the data shown in your progress matrix across document settings, the document information sidebar, and the document manager - where it's available as both a column and a filter.
Here's what you can now display and filter by:
Completion % - See how far along your team is at a glance
First/last view - Know when someone first accessed a document and when they last revisited
First/last submission - Track when team members first and most recently completed tests or confirmations
Total views - Understand how often your content is being referenced
Permissions - Quickly see who has access to what
On top of that, you can now filter by subject and document - not just member group. This means you can zero in on exactly the data that matters, whether you're reviewing a single team's onboarding progress or auditing content engagement across your entire organization.
