Introducing Network Folder Settings

Products, like living things, evolve in response to their environment.  They build on what currently exists to add new functionality, or refine how things already work. Take our latest feature, Network Folder Settings, for example. PBworks began by allowing you to set up a single workspace for collaborating with your team. We built on thisContinue reading “Introducing Network Folder Settings”

Introducing Move Between Workspaces

One of the great strengths of PBworks is that it’s easy to get started.  Just create a wiki page, upload a file, or email a workspace, and you’re off and running.  This openness helps encourage participation, and lets your team build on each others’ efforts.

New: “Sticky Notifications”

Notifications are a great way to stay on top of your work.  It’s great to find out when others have made changes to the content you care about.  But that’s the rub–how can PBworks know what content you care about? Originally, PBworks simply notified you about every change on every workspace you belonged to.  ButContinue reading “New: “Sticky Notifications””

View Tasks And Milestones By Month

Ever since we introduced Tasks and Milestones, one of the most popular requests has been a calendar view of those tasks and milestones. Sure, we allowed you to view by date, and even to integrate tasks and milestones into your Outlook calendar, but there’s simply something appealing about being able to see tasks and milestonesContinue reading “View Tasks And Milestones By Month”
