What’s new: Live summary blocks, Auto-convert tasks to projects, Redesigned share menu, and more ✨ (2.5)

Everyone is in the loop, with automated live summary blocks

Height now features a dedicated summary block at the top of every project, task, and document. These concise yet comprehensive summaries refresh with new activity, ensuring you and your team always have the most relevant information at a glance — with zero manual effort.

Auto-convert tasks to projects and offload project upkeep to Height

As the foundation of Height, projects provide built-in structure as well as access to our hallmark autonomous features like project checkups (with more on the way!).

While tasks remain quick, one-step actions, when you add subtasks to a top-level task, it will now automatically become a Project.

Share projects faster, with the right access—every time

Clearly distinguish between workspace member and guest permissions with our redesigned project sharing menu. Plus, choose your preferred invitation method: email or shareable link. With these updates, collaborators get the right access faster, so work can begin right away.
