New features

“Recent” feature for Owner and Team selectors

Following the recent release with the “Recent” feature added to Labels and Collaborators pickers, we’re adding a similar feature to Owner and Team selectors: you can easily select one of 5 lately used items at the top of the list:

Switching weights of Cancelled items to 0

1. When you close a KR with “Canceled” status, the KR’s weight will automatically switch to 0 so that it doesn’t impact the progress of the parent Objective. You can still change weights manually when assigning other statuses, like Failed or Rescheduled.

2. While closing an Objective, you can use a new “Change items weight to 0” toggle that will set the weights of this item and all its descendants to 0 if enabled.

3. When you close an Objective with “Canceled” status, the “Change items weight to 0” toggle will be activated automatically.

Bulk actions for Label management

While on the Labels settings page, you can select several labels to be removed or merged.

Enhancements

OKR status column available on Edit weights dialog

The Status column has been added to the Edit weights dialog to provide more context while deciding on weights:

Improved settings pages

Teams, Labels, and OKR types settings pages received unified layout, tables, icons, pagination, search and edit experiences for general quality of life improvements.

Improved color picker in Settings

While creating or editing icons for Teams, Labels, and OKR Types, improved color picker will make sure the contrast of the text is fine to properly see it.
