Hello everyone! After a short Easter break, we’re back with some exciting updates.
This version of Anytype doubles-down on productivity, making it easier for you to work with multiple objects at once. Key to this update is the ability to now delete several objects from a Set. You can learn more about how this works below.
Multi-select in Sets
We’ve brought multi-object selection to Sets! You can now perform bulk actions such as Duplicate
, Add to Favorites
, or Move to Bin
. Previously, it was challenging to work with several objects within a Set; now, you can manage them all with a single click.
It also works with the keyboard. Selecting with Shift
and then pressing Delete
will put move them all to the Bin.
Ludicrous-mode for Relations
Organizing, filtering, and focusing on certain objects just became faster with our new Relations menu.
By clicking the column name in Grid View, you can now directly sort and filter your objects according to the chosen relation. Moreover, with the new menu you can create and insert relations anywhere within a Set, allowing for greater flexibility.
We hope these improvements unlock many new and novel use-cases for Anytype, and help our power-users all the more powerful.
