In Workflow Builder, Send a message to a channel and Send a message to a person have Add a button: up to five, each with its own words and a look (filled, plain or a red outline). The workflow waits at that step until someone presses one. Choose who can answer: the people in the channel (the person it goes to, for a message to a person), people you name, or a person the workflow already knows. One answer closes it, unless you let each person answer once, and you can close it after an hour, a day, a week or up to 30 days.
Add a Branch after it to do something different for each button, and a form can open straight away for whoever answered. The message then says who chose what, for everyone, and its buttons stop; a press that isn’t allowed says why. A new Ask for approval template sends the person you name Approve and Decline buttons, and the run log says who chose what. Turning a workflow off pauses its buttons rather than closing them. People from a partner organization never answer a workspace’s workflow.
On the Workflows page, Describe it sits beside New workflow. Say in your own words what should happen — “A form people fill in to ask for design help. Add each request to our list and thank them.” — choose the channel it works in, and K Buddy drafts the trigger and the steps. The draft opens in Workflow Builder for you to check; nothing runs until you publish it, and K Buddy never publishes or turns on a workflow. Only your words are sent to K Buddy, never your channels, people or messages, and it doesn’t draft webhooks or steps that archive anything.
Making a channel from the Help requests or Bug intake template can now set up a request form that files each request into the channel’s list, and the Project template can post in the channel when an item’s status changes on its tracker. If you can build workflows, the tick is on for you; the workflow is made as a draft, and the summary offers Publish.
Ask K Buddy in a workflow has What K Buddy reads: add up to five channels, canvases or lists, which K Buddy reads with your rights each time the workflow runs — a channel’s last 30 days, a canvas’s words, a list’s first 200 items. Its words only go where everyone who sees them can read every source; Kemble checks when you publish and each time it runs. And Start a K Buddy conversation is a new step: a conversation with K Buddy for the person who started the workflow, theirs alone.
A workflow’s messages can now be fixed or taken back. If you made the workflow, manage it or are an admin, its messages offer Edit message and Delete message — on a computer, on a phone and in Kemble Desktop. An edit shows “(edited by …)” with your name, and the earlier words stay in its edit history. A message waiting for an answer keeps its buttons when you fix its words; once someone has answered, the question stays as they saw it. When a waiting message is deleted, however it goes, the run stops waiting. Words K Buddy wrote for a workflow stay K Buddy’s: you can delete them, not rewrite them. Every edit and delete is in the audit log with the workflow’s name, and a run somebody stops shows their name as it is now — once an account is deleted, it just says a manager stopped it.
When a workflow starts a K Buddy conversation for you, K Buddy reads what the workflow wrote as the workflow’s words, never as its own.
Archive a canvas and “Canvas archived” now comes with Undo. Archived canvases you could edit wait under a new Archived filter on the Canvases page, each with Restore, and an archived canvas opens read-only with a Restore button for anyone who can edit it. A canvas that lived in a channel’s tab comes back in that tab.
Can only view a canvas? Its bar now offers Ask to comment and Ask to edit, and whoever can share it is told; opening the request opens Share with your name and the access you asked for, ready to grant in one press. Lists take access requests too. Asking again the same day tells nobody twice, and you’ll never be told to slow down for asking.
Make someone a co-owner of your canvas or list from Share. Co-owners can do what you can — choose who opens it and who can share it, move a canvas, archive a list and name other co-owners — except hand it on to a new owner, and a co-owner can move a canvas only where its owner can still edit it. Sharing with a channel now offers “Don’t post a message”, off unless you tick it. Admins can choose who creates lists in Workspace settings › Permissions: everyone, as before, or only admins and owners.
React to part of a canvas: pick some words and press React, press ⌘⇧\, or choose ⋯ › React to a part. Your emoji sits under that part, and everyone with the canvas open sees it at once.
Lists: Archive item keeps an item, its comments and its votes out of the list, under the Archived filter, until somebody restores it, and Delete has Undo too. Save any list’s columns and views as a template for your workspace, with its items if you like. Long text can wrap onto three lines, a list downloads as JSON beside CSV, and four new field types arrive: Votes, Last edited by, Canvas and Message — everyone sees only the canvases and messages they can open.
In Later and To-dos, choose several at once: press Select, or ⌘-click, Shift-click or press X on an item — on a phone, press and hold one. Then mark them complete, archive them, set one reminder for all of them, or remove them, and Undo puts every one back.
Every list item keeps its history. Open an item and choose History to see every change to it — its name, status, assignee, due date, notes and each column — with who made it, when, and what it was before. Narrow it to one column with “Show changes to”, and if you can edit the list, Restore puts an earlier value back (that’s a change too, so you can undo it). The list’s menu has List history: the list renamed, columns and views added, renamed or removed, the list archived or restored, handed to a new owner, a co-owner added or taken away, and opened to more or fewer people — never whom it was shared with. You only ever see the channels, files, canvases and messages you can open, and votes never show up there.
Put a date in a canvas: type / and choose Date, or press Date in the canvas’s formatting bar, then pick a day — and a time, if it has one. A date shows as a chip in the line: the same day for everybody, and a time on each reader’s own clock, so a 3 pm call in London reads 10 am in New York. Dates that have passed are drawn quieter, and today’s stands out. Press a date to be reminded on the day or the day before, or at its time, an hour before or the day before; the reminder is yours alone and says which canvas and line it came from. Exports, search and K Buddy read a date in words, like “Saturday, 14 November 2026”.
Dates are rolling out: you can read them and be reminded of them today, and putting them in arrives once every open tab has the update.
