Updates

In this release, we are introducing a few long-awaited features in Saga that many of you requested: version history, a personal favorites section, as well as multiple editor and performance updates.

We have been working on several major updates following the Saga 1.0 announcement last November, and we will be sharing more in the coming weeks.

Version history

Preview and revert to older versions of your pages and tasks. Saga will automatically save a version of your content every few minutes. Learn more.

Personal favorites

We've added a new personal favorites section in the sidebar that is visible only to you. This is useful for teams where different team members want to have quicker access to the documents important to them.

Both the Favorites and the Pinned workspace sections in the sidebar can be collapsed or expanded by clicking on the label of each section. Learn more.

Editor updates

Collapsible lists

We've improved the collapsible lists in Saga. Create a collapsed bullet point by clicking on the bullet icon. Compared to other services, every bullet in Saga can be collapsed or expanded.

Code blocks

We have enhanced the code block with clearer gray styling and a copy button that will copy the content of the block for you.

Improved nesting and lists

Little big details! We've updated the nesting of paragraphs and lists in Saga, making them more aligned and pleasant to use.

Other editor improvements

• New Delete block option in the ⠿ block menu to the left of the editor.
• Autocomplete menu is now shown on mobile.

Major performance update

Speed and performance are important to us. The latest desktop app is now faster, tables for pages, collections, and tasks load instantly, and the search and editor are snappier in larger workspaces with thousands of pages.

Other updates and improvements

• New setting to disable autolinking across the entire workspace. Learn more.
• Links in public pages will now open if the linked pages are also published. Learn more.
• Collections in the sidebar dropdown can be manually reordered. Learn more.
• Improved export for tasks. Tasks can now be exported similarly to pages.
• More than 50 smaller improvements and bug fixes.

Today, we are excited to announce that Saga is out of beta! 🎊

We launched the initial version of Saga with the promise of creating a fast and delightful workspace that helps you connect your knowledge.

More than 40,000 of you have joined the beta. Since then, we have made Saga collaborative, released tasks, integrations, Saga AI, and more. Now, hundreds of teams rely on Saga every week as their main tool for collaboration.

So, a big thank you to everyone who helped us reach this stage! 🙌

You can now mention pages and tasks directly in Saga AI. The AI assistant will respond to your questions based on the documents you mention.

Here are a few use cases:

• Extract insights on a certain topic from a page
• Rewrite according to brand guidelines or any reference doc
• Transform to fit another doc's structure (e.g. article, email)

See more details and examples below!

Mention pages and tasks in Saga AI

To mention a page, simply type @ inside Saga AI or click the @ button in the AI menu. Then select a page from the dropdown. Saga AI will read the content of your mentioned pages and respond accordingly. This also works for tasks and will soon work for collections.

What you can do with mentions in Saga AI

Here are some examples of prompts you can use while mentioning one or multiple pages in Saga AI:

• Summarize a page
• Answer a question based on a page
• Ask about multiple pages (e.g., "What did we discuss in our last 3 meetings?")
• Rewrite content based on brand or style guidelines
• Extract data from a page (e.g., "Extract all tasks from my weekly note")
• Transform a page into another format (e.g., table, blog post, social post, email)
• Compare pages to understand differences
• Translate a page

Bonus: Saga AI also understands which page you're on, so you don't even need to mention it in your prompt. Simply ask any questions or commands, and the AI will crawl the content to answer.

We've completely rebuilt the Saga editor over the past three months, improving speed and performance for a smoother writing experience. Whether you're writing down daily notes, collaborating with your team, or using AI for your work, you'll notice the difference.

We've released over 80 fixes, improving lists, copy and paste, tables, callouts, nested blocks, and Saga AI responses. Our focus remains on delivering smooth and fast editing and releasing even better workflows to integrate AI into your workspace.

‍

Faster writing

Saga already feels fast, but now we've made editing even in very long pages, tasks, and large workspaces much faster.

‍

Loading time

We've reduced the initial loading time by up to 90%, especially for large workspaces. Saga AI responses are also generated up to twice as fast, enhancing your productivity.

Improved lists

We've revamped the behavior of lists, making creating new list items, nesting, merging, and copy-pasting more intuitive and similar to other writing apps.

‍

Improved copy and paste

Copying and pasting from and to other tools such as Google Docs, Microsoft Office, or Gmail should feel much smoother. We've improved the handling of different blocks, including lists, tables, callouts, and images.

Drag and drop

Experience more efficient drag and drop capabilities within and between pages/tasks, especially in long documents.

‍

Improved callouts

Callouts now feature better styling, improved nesting, and copy-pasting. As a reminder, they can contain any type of content, including lists, headings, images, and tables, with customizable styles and emojis.

Your feedback is important

We value your feedback and would love to hear your thoughts. Please take a moment to share what you love and what you feel is still missing in Saga.

In this update, we are sharing some of the improvements shipped over the last months: sharing pages with guests, new permissions, moving pages between workspaces, and improved mentioning of people.

Sharing with guests

You can now share any page with external guests, in addition to workspace members. Click Share and enter the email of the guest. Free workspaces can have up to 10 guests per workspace, while workspaces on the Standard plan can accommodate up to 100 guests.

Guests can either view or edit the content depending on their permissions. We've also added a new sidebar section Shared with Me where you can see all pages shared with you from other workspaces.

New permissions

We've added a new default workspace permission called Member, which can do everything inside the workspace except deleting it or changing its settings. Admins can manage permissions in Settings.

This is useful for teams that want more control over their workspaces. Read more about workspace permissions and page permissions in our guide.

‍

Move pages between workspaces

You can now move pages easily between workspace by clicking on the page menu ⋯ and pressing Move to.

Improved mentions

We've heard that mentions can get messy when collaborating with many people on the same page. We've enriched them, so you can now see who mentioned you and on which date, when  hovering.
