The Beta program is available only to Shortcut workspaces created before August 6, 2024. If you do not have access to our Beta, you also do not have access to our legacy Stories Page. Our team will communicate when we plan to completely close the Beta program for the new Stories Page and deprecate the legacy Stories Page for our remaining users. Please reach out to our support team (support@shortcut.com) with any questions.
Introduction
Step into the extraordinary evolution of Shortcut! Behold, the all-new Stories page that not only redefines speed but also seamlessly merges Spaces (boards) with an advanced filtering system. Brace yourself for an unparalleled experience as the new Stories page catapults your productivity with speeds that surge ahead!
But that's not all – now, the power to curate your Spaces list rests at your fingertips, add and sort Spaces as tabs at the top of your board. And with our new filtering system, board management reaches new heights of efficiency with more horizontal space in your view. And now, every space, including those we've created for you ("pre-made"), can be tailored to your workspace's preference.
Overall, the new Stories Page unlocks:
- Up to 10X speeds loading the Stories Page and navigating between Spaces 🙌
- Instant time to interact with story modals that render over the Stories page
- Manage your list of Spaces using tabs at the top of your stories page
- Filter spaces in a unified experience at the top of your board to reliably adjust the visible stories
- Edit all your personal spaces, even "pre-made" spaces from Shortcut (edit, copy, delete, hide, any of your personal spaces)
How to Opt-Into our Beta
To opt into early access (just for your own instance), click the switch at the top of your Stories page! Don't worry, you can return to the original stories page and none of your original spaces will be lost!
Looking to enable the new page for your entire org? Reach out to us! We will put your org on our shortlist once we release the page at the org level.
