  NOTE: If both the editable link and published links are enabled on the same board, the editable link will be favoured in the URL.

• Boards now automatically use the suggested colors, and will update as those suggested colors change.
• Invite from the mention popup: When mentioning someone you don't currently share a board with, you can easily invite them to collaborate from the popup.

What's changed

• Notes show a transparent option in the background color of the color picker. This replaces the "Make transparent" option in the context menu.

What's new

• Shift cards on overlap - When editing cards, or changing the contents of columns, if they overlap cards below, the cards below will be pushed down, out of the way. If the card or column then becomes shorter, it will pull those cards back up.
  This can be disabled in the Account settings - Preferences tab using the "Prevent cards from overlapping" toggle.
• WebP image support - WebP images uploaded to Milanote will now be treated like other image formats, such as JPEG and PNG.
  Note: To ensure support across all devices resized versions of the image will be converted to JPEG.
• Marquee deselection - When using the marquee selection on the canvas, pressing shift/command will now allow currently selected cards to be deselected while still allowing unselected cards to become selected.
• Clone cards - Duplicate (alt/option + drag) or copy & paste a single card and receive the option to keep the cards in-sync.
