# DKlutter updates

A customer guide to new features, improvements and fixes. Read this history in What’s New or at /updates.

## November 5, 2026 — Smoother colours and table deletion

- Colour dragging now previews once per animation frame, with saved settings updated when you finish choosing the colour.
- Editable note tables include Delete table. Deletions save with the note and support Undo and Redo.

## November 5, 2026 — Branch navigation badges

- Branch navigation now shows the same notification, assignment and activity counts as the classic sidebar, updating as activity changes on mobile and desktop.

## November 5, 2026 — Personal colours and lasting spelling corrections

- Custom theme colours are back in Preferences and the header appearance shortcut, including solid colours, gradients and a reset to black and white. Text and icons adjust for contrast in light and dark modes.
- Spelling corrections update the saved editor content, including rich notes, so they survive saving, reopening and reloading.
- Hover over an underlined word on desktop for suggestions, or right-click to keep your browser menu and show spelling suggestions alongside it. You can correct the word, add it to your dictionary or ignore it for the session.

## November 5, 2026 — Read-only task scrolling

- Read-only task details scroll within the screen on phones, landscape displays and desktops, so long notes, checklists, attachments and bottom actions stay reachable.

## November 5, 2026 — Mobile navigation and notification destinations

- On mobile, tapping a branch heading expands or collapses its options. Choose a child option to open its page.
- Notification links take you to the relevant record or section, including announcements, notes, tasks, chat rooms and file previews. Links to another workspace wait for its data to load.
- Note action menus reliably receive keyboard focus, including Home, End and the separate delete confirmation.

## November 5, 2026 — Clearer settings and appearance

- Admins can open Customer announcements and create announcement drafts reliably.
- Navigation previews appear once in Preferences. The background picker starts collapsed and shows your current choice without filling the page.
- Controls use black in light mode and white in dark mode, with readable text and icons. Panels use white or black without grey fills. Appearance shortcuts follow the same light, dark and device settings.

## November 5, 2026 — Announcements and your choice of navigation

Updates from DKlutter now have a home of their own.

- Open Overview → Announcements to browse, search and filter published updates. View an announcement in a read-only popup with headings, images, lists, links and tables.
- Announcement alerts include the update title and a short summary. Open an in-app or enabled push alert to read the announcement; product update push preferences still apply.
- Choose Classic sidebar or Branched menu in Settings → Preferences, with a preview of each. Your choice is included in settings exports and backups.
- If scheduled backups are off, a reminder links to setup. Scheduled cloud backups can be imported through the same JSON import screen as manual backups, preserving settings, note folders, sticky notes, files, goals and finance records.

## November 2, 2026 — Report an issue where it happens

- Right-click an interface element and choose Report issue. Describe what went wrong in a short form while DKlutter attaches the selected control, its location, page, workspace and browser details. Form values and document text are not copied into the report.
- Existing task, note, folder, file and timetable action menus include the same report option. Administrators can search and review reports in a table, inspect the captured details, update status and notes, archive or delete entries.

## November 2, 2026 — A roomier notes editor

Notes now give your ideas more space.

- Write in a full-height editor with a slim Plate-style toolbar and a centered writing canvas. Formatting, lists, tables, images and alignment sit close at hand; Markdown source, preview, exports and turning note items into tasks are still available.
- Browse folders and note files from the animated branch menu on the left, with the same menu available from the back button on smaller screens.
- Your notes continue to save in the workspace. Centre alignment is kept when you reopen a note.
- Richer type gives notes, previews and Clarity responses more readable spacing and clearer emphasis. Highlights and code stay legible in light, dark and custom colour themes; Product updates has a refreshed editorial heading.

## November 2, 2026 — Faster answers and cleaner notifications

Quicker help, consistent alerts and cleaner conversations.

- Clarity now defaults to NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, with Google Gemma 4 as a free fallback when the first model is unavailable.
- Responses can keep streaming beyond the old short timeouts. If a response stops making progress, Clarity explains the interruption and lets you retry.
- Everyday answers use a concise response budget with extended reasoning turned off. Task and note draft review cards retain room for complete suggestions, and changes still require your approval.
- Toast alerts now share a clean, animated style, with Accept/Reject buttons on workspace invitations and View/Reply actions on chat alerts. Conversation topics keep their animated dropdown without the surrounding box.

- Preview chat attachments without leaving the conversation, then download the original when needed. The Files tab now has an animated folder tree with keyboard navigation, quick name lookup and highlighted branches. Existing workspace permissions, protected-file passcodes and attachment expiry still apply.

## November 1, 2026 — Make room for better teamwork

More ways to stay connected, write clearly and make your workspace your own.

- Team chat now has conversation branches in a left sidebar, with a left drawer on smaller screens. Leaders can create separate conversations with topics inside, select several members at once, manage chat admins and members, choose whether new members can see earlier messages, and update the icon, description and meeting link.
- Keep important conversations in view: pin up to three messages for a chosen duration, delete a message for yourself, or delete your own message for everyone. Chat push alerts identify the workspace, chat and sender. Attach desktop files up to 20 MB for seven days, or let the leader keep them forever. Reference workspace files, folders and notes using their original access rules. Empty conversations show “No messages”.
- Write with UK or US English spell checking. Review suggested corrections, add words to your dictionary or ignore them for the session. Notes also support centre alignment and other paragraph alignment options.
- Prioritise navigation with Arrange navigation. Drag section and link handles using a mouse, touch or keyboard; Overview stays first and your order is remembered. Activity badges help you spot recent shared-workspace changes.
- Make your colours work for you. Custom themes include hex entry and a live preview. Text and controls adapt for readability across solid colours, gradients and light or dark mode, including the What’s New tour.
- Notifications now use a searchable table with workspace and category filters, sorting, selection and pagination. Mark alerts read or unread, archive or restore them, and respond to invitations and approvals. Archived alerts can be deleted after confirmation. The selected page size is visible before you open the dropdown, with aligned controls on desktop and phone.
- Clarity responses appear progressively as they are generated. Rename conversations or select several to delete together. Ask Clarity what changed: it can read this public customer changelog and link to the full update history. Existing consent, privacy checks and approval steps still apply.
- Explore animated Analytics by period, category and entry type, including individual days. Export data as a restorable JSON backup, a CSV report or a printable PDF. All Workspaces keeps its pagination above the table.
- Personalise focus timers with solid or gradient backgrounds and optional motivational quotes. Workspace leaders can set announcement expiry or remove announcements.
- Stay informed without losing your place. Release notices let you choose when to update, save supported drafts and explain new features in a tour. This customer changelog is available at /updates and can be downloaded as CHANGELOG.md.

## October 31, 2026 — Focus and a clearer welcome

A calmer start and more useful focus sessions.

- Focus timers support countdown and count-up clocks, pause, reset, editing and deep focus. Link a timer to an eligible task and keep its title below the clock.
- Choose animated backgrounds, your own wallpaper and sound levels. Timer state is kept on this device across navigation and refreshes; timer alarms require DKlutter to remain running.
