Our doctrees allow you to build any hierarchy you might want.

But sometimes you want to have parent docs without needing to write anything inside. No more "In here is this, this and that."

This is why we built doc categories. Here's how they look:

Here's how they look like when you share the spaces externally, on our own documentation:

Now you're set to go kill the docs game!

We've heard you, the rendering on the public view of docspaces needed improvements.

A refreshed UI is now available, along with performance improvements and placeholders for loading states. The search function used to be a bit hidden, now it's front right and center.

We've also made it possible for you to set the favicon to make your branding experience complete.

Now go in there and build the best documentation for your team and customers!

Many of you asked us for the option to remove our branding from individual public shared docs, as it was already working for public shared docspaces.

For customers on the Scaling plan, this is now available. But we do hope you will help us become more popular by keeping the branding on 😇.

In the process, we've also made doc loading 5% faster, for both internal docs and external docs.

For hosted public docspaces, we've added a status indicator that now allows you to see if your DNS has propagated or not, and more information for how to check yourself if you need details.

In a nutshell, we've been hard at work improving our core tech, but we've also been able to sneak in a couple of nice to have features.

Updates

• documents now load 7-10% faster;
• we were able to shave 150 to 200 milliseconds off the realtime sync algorithm, making realtime collaboration better;
• we've added more and better editor shortcuts (Markdown included); check the new shortcuts by hitting Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) + /;
• we've changed our CDN to AWS CloudFront, and setup better firewalls to our APIs to mitigate next Denial of Service attacks;
• certificate generation for hosted docspaces on your domains now happens in maximum 1 hour since the DNS has propagated, and we also have lowered their regeneration rate to 2 months;
• hosted docspaces are now 15% to 60% faster, as we were able to cache some of the content close to your customers; this will also improve your SEO;
• UI improvements across the board: more consistent spacing and colors throughout the app; cross platform scrollbars;
• better support for Safari and Firefox; there's still work to be done here, but we strive to be 100% cross-browser as ~15% of you don't use Chrome-based browsers;
• better support on mobile browsers;
• we've started doing automated phishing scans to prevent malicious use of our platform;
• our embed integrations come out of beta and are now generally available;
• iframe embeds and custom javascript are generally available but will stay in beta for a while longer;
• docx import comes out of beta.

What's next?

• workspace-level domains, share any amount of docspaces in an URL format like this: https://docs.yourdomain.com/docspace1 https://docs.yourdomain.com/docspace2;
• desktop app;
• improved datatables that draw inspiration from AirTable;
• continued core technology improvements;
• many misc. features asked by you; thank you for your great ideas in the Feature Wishlist, we watch them closely and many of them will get implemented.

Document expansion preservation

Until now, everytime you opened a docspace, every document would expand and you would be able to see every one of their children.

While this was good for small docspaces, it was a nightmare for docspaces with more than 80-100 documents.

Now the document expansion will be saved and restored later for each user.

Swagger HTTP headers

You can now add headers to our Swagger UI component. This allows you to make authenticated requests to your API endpoint.

GraphiQL HTTP headers

You can now add headers to our GraphiQL component. This allows you to make authenticated requests to your API endpoint.

Docspace events

Until now, it was really hard to get a grasp of what your team has been working on and what happened to certain docspaces.

From now on we record events for docspaces and neatly show them when you click on a docspace!

Editor fixes

As you report small bugs in the editor to us, we fix them to improve the user experience. We fixed a bunch of bugs related to lists, link editing, paragraph spacing and more.

Editor performance

We made some optimisations to our editor, and document loading is now 10 to 15 percent faster.

New chat system for support

We've migrated to Crisp.chat for providing realtime support.

New feature upvoting and roadmap system

Please go in there and upvote or suggest your desired features!

You can now add any type of content around the web if it supports iframe embeds.

Just add an Iframe block.

Then paste the code provided by the app you want to embed in the code editor.

This way you can embed pretty much anything that supports embedding. 

Today we've released our Loom integration. How do you use it?

Really simple. Paste a link to a public Loom and our editor will detect, pick up and embed your video!

Happy archlooming!

You can now embed the very popular Google Drive files. How?

Go to your Google Docs, Sheets or Slides, publish it,

And then and copy the link and paste it into an Archbee doc, it will simply be embedded!

Public spaces have many needs for integrations.

We can't build them all, but we can simply let you add the required JavaScript!

How do you do it? Very simple! Head to your docspace settings, to the integrations tab, and you'll be able to set your JS there.

Writing good documentation is very hard.

This is why we now allow Grammarly to get on top of our editor and suggest corrections and improvements.
