UPDATE: Learn what we did already accordingly to our plan below. And how Webjets is connected to Weje.

Our Weje team is happy to announce four great releases that will improve the data-managing approach of everyone from companies to bloggers. We have spent the last 6 months enhancing the platform with powerful and in-demand updates, from the upgraded easy-to-navigate UI to advanced tools for input arrangement. After implementing new technologies and architecture into the platform it’s become over x10 faster. We’ve also added Offline Mode so you can view and work with boards even when you’re offline or your connection isn’t stable.

But now the boards you create can be even more structured and organized, making it nothing but a pleasure to share your creations with teammates and audiences across the web. And until we finalize the release, you will be able to choose to work with either the old or the new version of Weje.

Let’s take a closer look at the 4 major new features:

1. New tools for Team collaborations

Teamwork is at the heart of Weje and with these new features for teams, collaborating on projects is easier than ever:

Real-time team collaboration

You’ll never miss a new edit, comment or improvement on your shared whiteboard — latest changes are visible to all whiteboard editors in real time. Track your teammates’ progress with named cursors and frames for selected objects that will highlight what edits are being made and by which team member.

Pointer mode

Turn on the Pointer mode and write notes or underscore objects that require extra attention from your teammates.

Integrations

The new Weje has an integration feature, meaning users can connect their boards to popular services like Jira, Google Drive, Dropbox and Slack.

2. Reach bigger audiences with Weje Sites

Organize and create an effortless distinct look for your content with Weje Sites: in addition to the existing data-organizing tools you’re used to, you’ll now be able to turn any board into a handy published website.

With Weje Sites you can create structured shareable documents and presentations from your boards. Private documents can be shared only between chosen group members, while public access documents can be made visible to anyone on the web, making it perfect for businesses, solopreneurs and individual users.

Use Weje in your company’s day-to-day workflow to create corporate knowledge bases, develop prototypes and share documents, create presentations, track tasks and team projects.

Use Weje in your personal daily routine to track everyday tasks, create mood boards, organize travel plans, save information for easy access and more.

Your imagination is the limit:

🍲 Thinking about organizing your recipes into a cookbook?

Save relevant images and recipes from anywhere on the web and form page prototypes. There’s no need to download or store files on your computer — Weje takes care of your content.

🩺 Monitor your health in a smart and easy way with Weje:

Create a document with all the historical data of your medical tests’ results, prescriptions, mood insights, X-rays etc. Add your trusted contacts to your Weje board, and voila! No more hours of searching for old paperwork — all your health information is organized and stored in a comprehensive, easy-to-access way. Refer to it from anywhere in the world and through any device, just when you need it.

✈️ Plan your trips and share plans with your friends and family:

Weje will be greatly appreciated by anyone organizing a trip — add hotel booking details, sights to visit, restaurants and entertainment plans, emergency contacts and more! Simply share access to the board with your fellow travelers to create a joint roadmap.

Use Weje to learn, teach, and explore with features perfect for education and blogging. Weje’s benefits can’t be overstated when it comes to the education process. Remember what chaos working on school projects used to be? Now adding your individual input for a group project is easy and organized. Need a neat report paper to hand over to the teacher?

Managing collective efforts is easy when you can host all discussions, leave comments and create relevant visuals in the Weje cloud-based environment. Once the project is finished, simply download it or share access to the document with the teacher.

Are you a blogger or an education professional yourself? If you have ideas that you want to share with the world, use Weje Sites to start publishing your expert articles, opinion feeds, holding online courses, co-working on papers, talk to your audience and more.

3. Conferences right in boards

Remote work is rising in popularity in many industries, and online conferences are becoming more and more in demand. We plan to enhance your teamwork with the most advanced communication tools incorporated right in the platform.

Collaborators will be able to discuss the project as they work on it with no need to switch to external messaging or calling. Complete tasks on your Weje canvas and speak to teammates about it right away — simple as that.

4. New improved account dashboard

We’re adding flexibility and clarity to your dashboard. Now managing boards, controlling access rights, and configuring account settings is easy — everything is a click away.

Non-stop development

The 4 new major Weje features we’ve just described are fantastic. But we haven’t forgotten about the tool optimization either. What we mean by this is that there will be fewer tools in total, but each one will become more functional.

You will also see new data-processing tools on Weje that will make teamwork faster and more productive. Among them:

  • Reactions (voting)
  • Checklists
  • Reminders
  • Kanban boards
  • Chats
  • Connections

UI and UX modifications are coming as well. We’ll be adding:

  • Multiselect option for batch operations with interactive cards on the board
  • Undo/redo commands for easy action reversal
  • Pop-up menus to reduce the number of clicks necessary for interacting with Weje whiteboards

The plans choice will be expanded, with teamwork (for small teams) and enterprise (with extra features) options to be added to the existing subscription plans.

Now, for the cherry on top — all students and teachers will be able to continue using the Education subscription plan for free! Knowledge and R&D are what we deeply root and stand for.

And that’s not all

Rome wasn’t built in a day — we plan to release the above-mentioned Weje updates step-by-step.
