Changelog

Plan your next steps with fewer clicks and keep your workspace easier to navigate.

Faster roadmap planning

• Update tasks in place: Choose To do, In progress or Done directly from a task row, without opening the full editor.
• Find the work that matters: Search by text, status and assignee. Use Assigned to me or Hide completed to focus your view.
• Drag milestones directly: Reorder using the dots beside a milestone, without entering a separate Reorder mode. Nearby rows move as you drag, numbering previews the new order, and releasing saves the change.
• Move work with fewer steps: Move tasks between milestones and milestones between phases through focused destination pickers.
• Quick add in context: Start with a relevant milestone and phase already selected, then change them if needed.

Drag a milestone to preview its new position before releasing it.

A sidebar that works your way

• Arrange your Content: Drag Items, NPCs and custom collections into the order that suits your project. Project owners and administrators control this shared order.
• Keep navigation compact: Collapse Project, Content, Media and other categories when you do not need them. Your personal view is remembered separately for each project.
• Less clutter: Successful Content reordering no longer leaves a permanent confirmation message in the sidebar.

Arrange your Content sidebar and collapse the categories you are not using.

Clearer, more dependable editing

• In progress is now used consistently instead of Partial.
• Roadmap status changes, moves and edits warn when another tab has changed the same work, rather than silently overwriting newer changes.
• Keyboard alternatives, Escape to cancel dragging and improved mobile controls keep these workflows accessible.

Make GameInDev fit the way you work, with more flexible collections, quicker roadmap editing and a customizable Overview.

Collections that work your way

Faster planning and a personal Overview
