What’s new: Teams, Autonomous features, Multiplayer documents, and more ✨ (2.0)

We started rolling out early access preview invites to Height 2.0 today. Over the past year, we’ve been rebuilding Height into an autonomous project collaboration tool.

Height 2.0 brings you new project management essentials like Teams and Documents along with first-of-their-kind autonomous features to take chores like backlog pruning, bug triage, and spec updates off your plate.

Below are the additions, updates, and changes to know. You can also review the full 2.0 overview guide on our help center.

Teams

You can now create dedicated spaces for Teams in Height. The team page includes pins, team description, and settings to manage team-specific custom attributes, status collections, and task forms.

Join an existing team or create a new one from the Teams section of the sidebar.

Autonomous features

Height 2.0 introduces a dozen autonomous features that proactively handle the manual work necessary to keep projects on track, housed in the Auto button in the toolbar. These include:

Live product docs: Height tracks project decisions and open question in the chat, and maps each update back to the description in real time.

Auto-fill attributes: Height analyzes tasks on an ongoing basis and adds the appropriate labels, automatically.

Triage bugs: Height evaluates every new bug report, sets the priority, and assigns and escalates accordingly.

You can configure autonomous features by navigating to the Auto button on any Team, Project, List, or View.

Multiplayer documents

You can now create documents in Height to capture initial brainstorms, planning notes, or other info that doesn't quite fit a task. Every document is equipped with chat and full markdown (simply type +).

Multiplayer cursors

Live cursors now appear whenever your teammates are actively working on the same page you're on, and show changes they make in real-time.

Other improvements, updates, and fixes

• Smart lists are now called Views. With views, you have all the same capabilities as smart lists, plus access to new autonomous features.
• Multiplayer live editing is also now supported inside of descriptions for tasks and projects. As such, description drafts are no longer supported, so before you update to Height 2.0 make sure your team has published all of their description drafts, or saved them elsewhere.
• Chat is now available on lists, views, and team pages, along with tasks and projects. Use the 🔔 to subscribe or unsubscribe.
• You can move existing workspace-wide status collections, custom attributes, and task forms into specific teams (and vice versa).
• There are now more comprehensive permission controls over what’s accessible at the workspace, team, and guest level. Review updates to permissions here.
• Task and project descriptions are now full-featured documents that can be edited by multiple people simultaneously, with changes saved automatically.
• + New task modal is redesigned for simplicity. The first team in your sidebar will be pre-populated whenever you create a new task.
• The sidebar is now globally dark, in both light and dark modes.
• The workspace switcher is now in the bottom right corner of the sidebar.
• Buttons, icons, task cards, pills, and other core UI elements have a new, elevated look and feel.
• Admins of existing Height workspaces can review the steps for updating to 2.0 on our help center.
