This update brings a range of improvements across the app, from visual refinements to quality of life updates, all designed to make your experience smoother and more consistent. In the meantime, we’re continuing our ongoing work to support data ownership, easier backups and long-term resilience.
Highlights
Import Improvements
Obsidian import supports [[double bracket]] links, allowing internal links to be correctly converted to object links in Anytype. The [[ shortcut is also supported inside Anytype for linking between objects.
Sidebar Design Refresh
We’ve refreshed the Sidebar with several design and usability improvements:
- The
Newbutton for creating objects has a new design - Favorites have been renamed to Pinned, with a new icon and updated empty state
- Help menu
?has been moved to the bottom of the sidebar - The Bottom bar now has a transparent gradient for a smoother visual transition
Type Links in Graph
New setting to connect Types to Objects has been added to the Graph.
Quality of Life Improvements
Quick Access to Templates
You can now manage templates directly from the Edit Type menu, accessible from every object.
Header Properties Column View
Added column view for the properties displayed in the object header, which you can switch to from the line view when editing a Type layout.
Bookmark Paste Menu
Creating a new object with the Bookmark type now instantly opens the Paste link menu.
Add to Pinned
The new Add to Pinned button in the navigation bar lets you quickly save objects to the Pinned widget (formerly Favorites).
Draw.io Embeds
Draw.io diagrams are now supported in embed blocks. Big thanks to @Shampra for the contribution!
Improved Sorting Logic
Ascending sort now places empty values at the end by default.
Type Page Default View
The Type page was updated to use List view by default.
Calendar Drag and Drop
You can now drag and drop objects in the Calendar when using a custom date property.
New Shortcuts
Added new shortcuts to create Widgets, open Space settings, Pin / Unpin objects, open Bin and more.
Access Pop-up Update
Updated the “No access to this space” pop-up with clearer messaging and a new icon.
Space Name and Description Limits
Set character limits for Space name (50) and description (200).
