New features: Never lose your work again

Hello friends!

I want to tell you about the new features we've added to Loomio recently. These have been developed in collaboration with our most active organizations, so I hope you'll find them relevant and beneficial!

Never lose your work again!

Loomio now automatically saves a draft as you type. So if you're writing a comment, editing a thread, or developing a proposal, Loomio will save your work as you go.

This works even if..

• your internet connection drops while you're typing
• you click the back button, another link or close the tab
• your browser tab crashes
• or Loomio goes offline temporarily

You can try this out today: Start a comment then hit refresh before posting it. When the page reloads your draft comment will be there waiting for you.

Collaborate on threads and proposals.

We now support real-time collaboration while editing - just like in Google Docs. Great for taking notes during a meeting, or collaborating on a proposal together.

When you're writing a new thread or proposal, you're the only person who can see it - after the initial version is saved you can collaborate on it with others.

Forward an email to start a thread

Your group now has an email address! You can send email to this address to start a thread in your group.

This is helpful if you find yourself replying to an email that should be a Loomio thread. You can just forward the email to Loomio to move the conversation to your group.

The email address is based on your group handle; So if your group URL is www.loomio.com/oatmilk, then your group email address is [email protected]

Find out more by clicking your group's email address, which is displayed on the group page like so:
