Today's Changelog brings you auto-add and auto-archive workflows for all users to make managing your project a breeze, and tasklists improvements!

🤖 Automatically add and archive project items

We previously announced the public beta of the auto-archive workflow and the auto-add workflow for Enterprise users, and today we are excited to share these are now available to everyone!

From the Workflows page in your project, configure the filter criteria for when you want to automatically archive items from your project via Auto-archive items, as well as automatically adding items from a repository to your project via Auto-add to project.

✅ Tasklist improvements

As part of our ongoing Private Beta for Tasklists, we continue to ship weekly improvements! We're letting in new organizations regularly, sign yours up here.

🟣 See completion pills for issues

Issues in your tasklist now have completion pills which indicate whether or not they have children, making it easier to understand how close your tasklist is to completion.
