When we rebuilt Flow from the ground up (starting over 12 months ago), we made a lot of changes to help teams work more effectively.

Up First: Workspace Sharing Improvements

With the addition of the Workspaces feature, you can now collaborate with your team on shared tasks, and see updates as they happen. At the same time, you can work with other teams in separate workspaces, keeping a meaningful balance between transparency and noise.
