What’s new: Introducing Height 2.0 with Autonomous workflows, Teams, Multiplayer cursors, and more ✨ (2.0)

Welcome to Height 2.0! Over the past year, we’ve been rebuilding Height to become the autonomous project management tool, and today, we’re thrilled to start opening up early access.

Height 2.0 combines the best of classic project management features with first-of-their-kind autonomous features to take the endless chores off your plate. Below, we’ll walk through some of the new additions to explore, as well as a few changes from 1.0 to keep in mind 👇

1️⃣ Autonomous workflows: say goodbye to project upkeep

Evolving the capabilities of Copilot, Height 2.0 introduces autonomous workflows, designed to proactively handle the manual work necessary to keep projects on track, without you lifting a finger.

Explore the collection of autonomous workflows available by navigating to the Auto button on any Team, View, List, or Project

Let’s take a closer look at 3 of these workflows that will make your life easier:

Live product docs

Everyone knows the feeling of opening up a PRD and finding specs that are months out-of-date. Whether it’s shifting scope or new requirements, our ideas constantly evolve, but rarely do those changes make their way back to our docs.

With Live product docs, Height tracks every decision and open question, and maps each update back to your doc in real time.

Auto-fill attributes

Keeping tasks organized and labeled so everyone on the team can find what they need is project management 101. But remembering to tag tasks consistently and accurately can easily slip anyone’s mind.

With Auto-fill attributes, Height proactively assesses each new task and applies the appropriate attribute value, automatically. From keeping your backlog in check to finding low-handing fruit for the next sprint, Auto-fill attributes unlocks a new world of backlog management.

Bug triage

Reviewing every new bug report can often feel like a thankless effort. But for your customers, any quick fix to a critical issue is priceless.

With Bug triage, you don’t have to worry about bugs falling through the cracks. Height intelligently evaluates how critical each new bug is and sets the priority accordingly, while also assigning and escalating as needed.

2️⃣ Teams: dedicated spaces to organize and manage work

With Teams, you can now create a dedicated space inside of Height to centralize your team’s work. Creating or joining a team allows you to organize team projects, processes, and workflows in one place. You’ll also have access to team-specific custom attributes, status collections, and task forms. Join an existing team or create a new one from the Team section of the sidebar.

3️⃣ Multiplayer cursors: next generation collaboration

Collaborating with teammates comes to life in Height 2.0 with multiplayer cursors. Live cursors appear whenever your teammates are actively working on the same tasks, projects, lists, and views, and shows changes they make in real-time.

4️⃣ Multiplayer documents: jot down ideas and processes

Not everything fits into a task. That’s why we’re introducing documents, so you can capture initial brainstorms, planning notes, and more, without having to spread your work across multiple places. Every document is equipped with the chat, full markdown (simply type +), and live cursors.

Other updates from Height 1.0

Explore Height 2.0's new look and feel
There’s a plethora of new designs updates sprinkled into Height 2.0. You’ll find them throughout the app, but here’s a few sure to catch your attention:

  • The sidebar now has a fixed dark color way for both light and dark modes, in addition to now including teams.
  • Across the app we’ve updated the look and feel of buttons, icons, task cards, pills, and more, check them out for yourself!

Smart lists → Views
Smart lists have a new name: Views! With views, you have all the same capabilities as smart lists, plus access to relevant autonomous workflows.

Chat everywhere
Our feature-rich chat is now accessible not only on tasks and projects, but also lists, views, and team pages. Just like in task chat, simply use the 🔔 to subscribe or unsubscribe.

A new look for task and project pages
Tasks and projects have a refreshed design that puts the focus on the all-new multiplayer description while making it easy to chat with your colleagues. Descriptions are now full-featured documents that can be edited by multiple people simultaneously, with changes saved automatically.

Workspace ↔ Teams: Converting statuses, attributes, and task forms
With the introduction of teams you can now move existing workspace-wide features like status collections, custom attributes, and task forms, from your general workspace into specific teams (and vice versa).

Updates to permissions
With the introduction of Teams, there are now more comprehensive controls over what’s accessible across your workspace for users, team members, and guests. You can review the new updates to permissions for each use case from the help center:

Simplified task creation
The new task modal has been refined to make creating tasks easy and straightforward. The first team in your sidebar will be set to each task automatically, while the default attributes for that team will pre-populate as well.

New location for switching between workspaces
If you have multiple workspaces that you switch between, you’ll now find the workspace switcher in the bottom right corner of the sidebar.
