November 2026

Learn more about the improvements and new features launched to Waybook this month

November is all about clarity. Bring your steps to life with image carousels, see where each team member stands at a glance, and know exactly who's up to date after a process changes.

Here's a look at what's new:


Image Carousels

You can now add an image carousel to any step. Group several images into one space, and your team can move through them right where they're reading.

You'll find carousels under the Image option in the editor toolbar. They're a great fit for photos of a job at each stage, before and after shots, or a run of screenshots that walk through a process.

Your team sees the whole sequence in one place, and your steps stay clean and easy to follow.

🚀 Quick Win

  • Find a step with three or more images in a row. Turn them into a carousel and see how much easier that step is to follow.

Member Profiles and Groups

Each team member's profile in Organization > Members now gives you a clear snapshot of their progress and the groups they belong to. Want the full picture? Jump straight to their individual report from their profile.

Setting up groups is quicker too. Create a new group right from the groups page, or while you're setting a team member's access, without leaving what you're doing. Member types have a fresh new look as well.

Everything you need for a one-to-one, an onboarding check-in or a performance conversation is now in one place.


Group-First Permissions

Setting permissions now starts with your Member Groups. When you choose who can see or edit a document, subject, or Learning Path, groups are the default view, with individual members one tab away.

You can see who's in each group straight from the groups list, so you know exactly who you're giving access to. The publish modal has a fresh look too, with a clearer view of who will have access before anything goes live.

Managing access by group keeps your permissions consistent as your team grows. Add a new starter to the right group, and they get everything they need from day one.

Last Completed Version in Progress Reports

Document progress reports now show the last version of a document each team member completed.

When you update a process, you can see at a glance who has completed the latest version and who completed an earlier one. If an update needs everyone to go through it again, pair this with Reset Progress.

It makes following up after a change simple, so your whole team works from the same version of the process.

Deadlines in Document Progress

Deadlines now show on a document's Progress tab, so you can see who's due to complete it and when, in the same place you track completion.

Spot who's coming up to a deadline and give them a nudge before it passes. Deadlines apply to team members with Require Completion turned on.

Search Highlighting in Edit Mode

When you open a document from search, the words you searched for are highlighted on the page. That now works in edit mode too.

Searching for a product name, a price or a policy term you need to update? You can spot every mention as you edit and make your changes in one go.
