| ⭐️ A Brand New Way to Create (and Collaborate!) on Writing.Com ⭐️ We’re really excited about this one. Over the past few months, we’ve been quietly using a new tool behind the scenes… and we’ve completely fallen in love with it. Today, we’re officially introducing Workspaces. Workspaces give you a flexible, visual way to organize your ideas, plan projects, and build your writing in a whole new way. You can create lists, move things around, expand ideas, and really see your work come together. But where this gets especially exciting… ⭐️ You can also work in a Workspace with a group! ⭐️ If you give a group edit access, everyone in that group can jump in and work together: adding cards, organizing lists, building ideas, and shaping projects side-by-side.  You can even see who’s actively working in the workspace and follow along as things are happening in real time. It’s collaborative, creative, and incredibly useful. And honestly… we can’t wait to see what you do with it.
This is the first brand new item type we’ve introduced in a long time, and it opens up so many possibilities for writers, groups, classes, challenges, and projects across the site. Keep it private or make it public... it's up to you! We can't wait to see how you use these! Have fun!  The StoryMaster and The StoryMistress |
| A new page has been added to Writing.Com 101: Using the Editor This new entry walks you through the editor screen, its buttons and tools, and a few helpful tips to make things even easier. |
| Your Portfolio Tools and Highlighted Items have been given an updated look and feel on your portfolio page! The tools themselves haven't changed, but they should now be easier to spot. Just a small tweak to make navigating and organizing your work a little smoother. Search Added to Portfolios You can now search within your portfolio or someone else's right from the portfolio page! This IS new... enjoy! (Click Portfolio / Portfolio from the left navigation to see the changes.) |
