UX Enhancements
In addition to improving search and underlying performance, the update enhances a few smaller elements of the user experience, all of which you can find on the What’s New? page. Among those most notable
- Improved Checkbox Property. Check or uncheck a todo checkbox property in any database view without having to click into an actual page.
- Improved Export. When you export a page as Markdown or CSV with subpages, the folder hierarchy is preserved in the zip file.
- Natural Block Navigation. Navigating across blocks with different indentation levels now feels more natural when using the arrow keys.
