          Popular documents

            November 25th, 2025

            Outline now tracks document popularity based on views and interactions. This allows you to easily identify which documents are most relevant and frequently accessed by your team, these are surfaced in the new "Popular" tab and are given more prominance in search results.

            Other improvements

              * The sidebar was considerably cleaned up to improve the clarity of nesting
              * The icon color picker now has a full spectrum selector
              * We overhauled syntax highlighting for code blocks
              * Double clicking on image and video resize handles now fills the media to document width
              * Line height now auto adjusts for scripts with many ascenders and descenders such as Thai

          Group mentions

            October 25th, 2025

            You can now mention groups in documents and comments, making it easier to notify entire teams or departments at once. To mention a group, simply type "@" followed by the group name, just like you would with individual users.

            When a group is mentioned, all members of that group will receive a notification, so use sparingly! Of course, this feature can also be disabled on a per-group basis.

            Other improvements

              * Groups can now have a description
              * You can now comment directly on images within documents.
              * Documents and collections in the sidebar now have context menus
              * Typed urls are now automatically converted into clickable links

          Link mentions

            October 10th, 2025

            We added an additional display option for links in Outline. When a link is pasted into a document or collection, it can now be displayed as a "link mention" which shows the title and icon of the linked page.

            Simply paste a link to try it out.

          New lightbox

            September 29th, 2025

            We've completely rebuilt the lightbox that appears when you click into an image. It now supports navigating between all the images and diagrams in a document, as well as zooming in and out, panning large images, and full keyboard and touch navigation.

            Other improvements

              * Typed URLs will now automatically convert to links when you press space or enter
              * It is now possible to format text across cells in a table
              * You can now right click on documents and collections to access the context menu

          Public collection sharing

            August 2nd, 2025

            This week brings some great improvements to public sharing. You can now share an entire collection to the public internet – this much-requested feature is great for sharing structured help docs or several related documents with a single link, and works exactly the same as sharing a single document.

            As an additional security measure the Share button will also display a globe icon if a collection is shared publicly.

          Table improvements

            July 3rd, 2025

            Tables now have the ability to merge and split cells across rows and columns, use this to create more complex data layouts. You can merge cells by selecting multiple cells and using the merge option in the toolbar. To split a merged cell, select it and choose the split option.

            We also added a new shortcut to create a table, just type |-- on a new line to insert a table.

            Other improvements

              * Editor blocks can now also be moved up and down with Cmd+Alt+Arrow keys.
              * Hungarian language support
              * English (UK) language support
              * There is now an option to disable commenting per-collection
              * Added a new option on shares to show the last modified timestamp on publicly shared docs

          GitHub and Linear integrations

            April 29th, 2025

            We have rolled out an improved GitHub integration that allows embedding rich issue and pull request information directly into an Outline document. Not only that, but we've also added the same support for Linear, allowing seamless integration of Linear issues, GitHub PR's, and Outline documents.

            These new mentions will, of course, stay automatically up-to-date. To get started connect your GitHub and Linear accounts in Settings -> Integrations and then paste an issue or pull request URL from GitHub or Linear into the editor.

          Collection subscriptions

            April 10th, 2025

            We added the ability to subscribe directly to a collection. Get notified when a document any document is added or updated without having to subscribe to each document individually.

            Other improvements

              * Added the ability to change the type of a notice in the editor without having to delete and recreate
              * PWA dock icon is now badged when notifications are available
              * Search in document was added to the command menu
              * Inline code can now be formatted with bold, italic, and links
              * @Mentions of the currently logged in user are now highlighted
              * Admin: Shared links management in settings now has filtering
              * Several new languages added to code blocks which were also optimized to load faster

          Document mentions

            January 19th, 2025

            This week brings the ability to mention documents using the @ trigger. You'll find documents available alongside team members. This allows you to link to other documents within your content and keep the title and icon automatically updated. Keep typing to filter or create a new document inline.

            Other improvements

              * Group management has been improved and now includes filtering and sorting
              * @mentions are now included in find and replace
              * Added the Protobuf language for code blocks

              * Triple clicking inline code now selects it
              * Find and replace now includes a count of occurrences

          Emoji reactions

            November 10th, 2024

            Introducing emoji reactions for comments – a much-requested way to respond to feedback and collaborate with team members. Every comment can now be reacted to with an emoji, and you can see who reacted to a comment and how many reactions it has received from the comment menu.

            Other improvements

              * There is now a Leave document menu item on documents that have been shared with you

              * cmd+f search in page now supports diacritics

          Comment sorting options

            October 14th, 2024

            The comment sidebar can now be sorted by the comment's position in the document. This is particularly nice for long documents where you want to see the comments in the order they appear rather than the order they were created.

            Look for the sort option in the top right of the comment sidebar.

            Other improvements

              * When mentioning a user you can now search by email
              * Publicly shared docs now have the option to disable search engine indexing
              * CSV files can now be imported, they will be converted to a table
              * Collections now include reverse alphabetical sorting as an option

          Group sharing for documents

            September 3rd, 2024

            It is now possible to add groups directly to documents, all members of the group will receive access to the document and all nested documents with the chosen permissions. Use this to share portions of a larger collection with a mix of stakeholders.

            Groups will appear as a new sharing option in the existing Share button. See the guide to sharing for more info.

            Other improvements

              * You can now embed any webpage with the /embed command
              * Added R language highlighting in code blocks
              * Templates can now be shared with the entire workspace
              * The e shortcut now refocuses the editor if unfocused

          Comment resolving

            August 3rd, 2024

            It's now possible to resolve comment threads on documents from the comment menu. You can always view and restore a document's resolved comments by clicking the checkmark icon at the top right of the sidebar. This provides a way to keep discussions focused and organized.

          Icon and emojis

            July 18th, 2024

            You can now select emoji and icons for both document and collection in one unified UI – this finally enables using emoji for collections and icons on documents. We also added even more new icons to choose from in this release.

          Highlighter colors

            June 10th, 2024

            This release adds the ability to highlight text in the editor in a variety of colors. This is a great way to draw attention to important parts of your document, or to categorize different sections. Use the upgraded highlighter tool in the selection toolbar to get started.

          Table improvements

            May 30th, 2024

            This week we've made some highly requested improvements to tables in Outline, this will be one of many improvements to the editor in the coming weeks and months. Here's what's new:

              * Column resizing: You can now resize columns by dragging the border between them
              * Full-width tables: Tables now expand to the full width of the editor
              * More content: Table cells now support embeds, code blocks, and all other content types
              * Toggleable headers: You can now toggle a header row and column
              * Improved overflow: Tables now scroll horizontally when they're too wide for the editor
              * Improved row and column controls: We've made it one click to add rows and columns

          Guest user role

            April 17th, 2024

            We've added a new Guest role to help you collaborate with external users on your documents. The Guest role allows you to share your documents with external users without giving them full access to your workspace.

            When you invite a user as a Guest, they can only view and comment on the documents and collections you explicitly share with them – no default access applies.

          80+ New collection icons

            April 13th, 2024

            We've added over 80 new collection icons to help you better organize your documents. You can now choose from a wide range of new icons to represent your collections from DNA, to a tent – there's a wider variety to choose from.

            To change the icon of a collection, head to Edit in the collection menu and then click on the current icon.

          GitHub integration

            April 1st, 2024

            The new GitHub integration allows you to connect your GitHub repositories to your Outline workspace. Once connected, links to GitHub issues and pull requests will show detailed information on hover, in a future update we will also allow expanding these links to show more context inline.

            To setup simply head to Settings -> Integrations -> GitHub and connect one or more organizations.

          Document sharing and permissions

            February 28th, 2024

            This week brings user management to the document level. Previously all permissions were managed on Collections, but now you are able to share individual documents with specific people to view or edit. This is great for sharing private notes or drafts with a small group of people.

            We also gave the sharing interface a new look and a lot more clarity over who has access to the document and what level of access they have.

            To get started, simply click the Share button in the document header or check out the sharing documentation for more details.

          AI answers

            January 3rd, 2024

            One of the biggest problems with a team knowledge base is that it can be difficult to find the information you need amongst hundreds or thousands of documents. Even with great search it can be hard to know the exact phrasing to use to find the right document.

            Now we've built a new feature that allows you to get direct answers to questions from your knowledge base simply by asking them in the search or command menu! Answers are dynamically generated based on the documents you have permission to access.

            To get started, any workspace admin can enable the feature under Settings -> Features -> Ai Answers. Find out more information in the documentation, and let us know what you think!

          Improved PDF exports

            December 6th, 2023

            We've made some great improvements to the way that document exports are constructed this week. These changes allow Mermaid diagrams and rich embeds to be rendered correctly in HTML and PDF exports going forward, other formatting was also improved to make these look even nicer.

            Other fixes and improvements

              * Embedded videos now display correctly when viewing a documents history
              * Emoji's in templates are now applied correctly
              * Mobile now has a "Share" option in the document menu
              * Todo items in editor can now be toggled with Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows)
              * When copying a document you can now choose whether to include child documents
              * Added support for Instagram and LinkedIn embeds

          Commenting in code

            October 6th, 2023

            Outline now supports commenting on text inside of code blocks, this is particularly useful – as we all know that naming things is the hardest part of coding and now you can discuss the best name for that variable right inside of the code block.

          Embedded videos

            October 1st, 2023

            You can now upload videos and embed a player directly into any Outline document. Just like images, we also added the ability to resize the video to fit and write a custom caption.

            To embed a video simply drag and drop into the document, or find the "Video" option in the block menu. For more information checkout our guide to inserting blocks on Outline.
