Worksection 2.0: what has changed and why it matters

In 18 years, Work­sec­tion has become a work­ing tool for over 1,600 teams. Every day, it helps man­age tasks and projects, keep track of time, and achieve busi­ness goals.

How­ev­er, over time we faced a chal­lenge. As the team grows and process­es mul­ti­ply, it becomes hard­er to quick­ly find what you need, switch between tasks, and main­tain focus on what matters. 

That’s why we cre­at­ed Work­sec­tion 2.0 — a faster, more flex­i­ble, and mod­ern ver­sion of our online service. ​​​​​​​​​
​

What’s new in Work­sec­tion 2.0: 
  • New inter­face — clean design, less visu­al noise, more space for tasks. 
  • More flex­i­ble struc­ture — it’s eas­i­er to tai­lor the sys­tem for dif­fer­ent types of teams and processes. 
  • Uni­fied inter­face log­ic — con­sis­tent ele­ments and behav­ior across dif­fer­ent sec­tions, so you don’t have to get used to it each time.
  • Built-in mes­sen­ger — pri­vate, group, and project chats right where the work happens.​
We pro­vide more details about the main changes and how they help in dai­ly work. ​

​

Main changes in Work­sec­tion 2.0

In Work­sec­tion 2.0 we gath­ered every­thing that teams most fre­quent­ly request­ed. As a result, the inter­face has become sim­pler, access to what’s need­ed is faster, and the sys­tem itself is more flex­i­ble and per­son­al­ized. Now, every user can cus­tomize Work­sec­tion for their dai­ly tasks. 

1️⃣New inter­face and design system

The Work­sec­tion 2.0 inter­face has become sim­pler and clean­er. We aligned styles and nav­i­ga­tion to make it eas­i­er to nav­i­gate and quick­ly find what you need.​
​
  • Sidebar​​
The main menu is now fixed on the left and acces­si­ble from any page. You can now switch between projects, tasks, or reports with one click. The side­bar can also be cus­tomized to fit your needs: keep­ing only the nec­es­sary sec­tions and arrang­ing them in a con­ve­nient order.​
​
  • Quick task creation
The “+” but­ton on the side­bar is avail­able on all pages of the sys­tem. Cre­ate tasks from any­where: from com­ments, cal­en­dar, Kan­ban board, or using hotkeys Alt+N (Mac: Option+N).​​
​
  • Uni­fied styles​
​We aligned styles and behav­ior of ele­ments across all sec­tions. Now, if you under­stand one area, it’s clear in anoth­er. Onboard­ing is even faster. 
  • Clear work­space structure​
We sep­a­rat­ed pri­ma­ry and sec­ondary actions. What you use dai­ly is always at hand.
What is need­ed less fre­quent­ly doesn’t inter­fere with the process. ​​​
​

2️⃣Chats inside Worksection

​One of the most antic­i­pat­ed updates that we were con­stant­ly asked for is the abil­i­ty to com­mu­ni­cate with­in Work­sec­tion. Because in prac­tice it hap­pened that tasks were in the sys­tem, while quick ques­tions, clar­i­fi­ca­tions, and files were in Telegram or Slack. Because of this, impor­tant details could get lost.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, in addi­tion to com­ments on tasks, there is a built-in mes­sen­ger for quick dialogs, team dis­cus­sions, and file shar­ing. Now, you can resolve work issues in one envi­ron­ment with­out switch­ing to exter­nal messengers.​
​
Chats can be of dif­fer­ent types:  
  • Pri­vate chats — for one-on-one conversations.
  • Group chats — for work­ing groups and teams.
  • Project chats — auto­mat­i­cal­ly gath­er all project par­tic­i­pants into a sin­gle com­mu­ni­ca­tion channel.

Inte­gra­tion with the workflow

​From the chat, you can men­tion col­leagues and tasks, min­i­mize chats to the bot­tom pan­el for instant return, view the lat­est mes­sages, and instant­ly search for the need­ed conversation.​

Smart noti­fi­ca­tions

Mes­sages can be sent with­out noti­fi­ca­tions, sched­uled for send­ing at the right time or sent instant­ly using hotkeys. This way, the team sees only what’s impor­tant and is not dis­tract­ed by unnec­es­sary noise.


The Work­sec­tion com­ment feed is per­fect for dis­cussing tasks, while chats are for quick dialogs and urgent clar­i­fi­ca­tions. They allow for file exchanges, dis­cussing work issues in real time, and keep­ing com­ments focused only on task context.​

3️⃣Updat­ed detailed task card 

​We com­plete­ly updat­ed the detailed task card. Pre­vi­ous­ly, it con­tained only basic fields, and to make changes you had to switch to edit mode. In Work­sec­tion 2.0, every­thing can be edit­ed direct­ly in the task win­dow: open the card — and imme­di­ate­ly enter the required data. Changes are saved automatically. 

Quick open­ing of tasks

Tasks open direct­ly from the list with­out switch­ing to a sep­a­rate page. This speeds up work when you need to quick­ly open and make changes to sev­er­al tasks in a row.​​​​
​

Inline edit­ing

No more need to switch to edit mode: dead­lines, respon­si­ble per­sons, pri­or­i­ties, or sta­tus­es change direct­ly in the task card. All changes are saved instant­ly and are imme­di­ate­ly vis­i­ble to the entire team.​​​​
​

Per­son­al­iza­tion of fields

Every user can cus­tomize their order of dis­play­ing task prop­er­ties. Unwant­ed fields can be min­i­mized or hid­den alto­geth­er to focus only on what’s important.​​​​
​

New task properties

In addi­tion to the basic fields (respon­si­ble, dead­lines, sta­tus, pri­or­i­ty, tags, costs), the fol­low­ing were added:
  • Depen­den­cies — block­ers and oth­er depen­den­cies for trans­par­ent planning.
  • Reminders — auto­mat­ic noti­fi­ca­tions to avoid miss­ing deadlines.
Also, the task card offers emo­ji reac­tions for quick feed­back and infor­ma­tion about the task’s author. The task’s pri­or­i­ty is now dis­played as a num­ber and a name, allow­ing for imme­di­ate under­stand­ing of its importance.​
​​
​

New com­ment feed

We updat­ed the task com­ment feed in Work­sec­tion 2.0. Now mes­sages can be edit­ed and for­mat­ted, tasks can be cre­at­ed direct­ly from the dis­cus­sion, and unnec­es­sary or out­dat­ed mes­sages can be hidden.​​​
​
​

Sta­tus history

Changes to the task’s sta­tus are now dis­played in a sep­a­rate win­dow, rather than mixed with com­ments and oth­er events. In the sta­tus his­to­ry, you can view how the task pro­gressed and who changed it and when. ​​​​​​
​​​​​​​
​
​

The new detailed task card in Work­sec­tion 2.0 sim­pli­fies dai­ly work with tasks. You can imme­di­ate­ly edit the nec­es­sary data, cus­tomize the fields to your lik­ing, and see only what’s real­ly important. ​​​​​
​

4️⃣Table view of tasks 

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, a new task list view has appeared — the table view. You can cus­tomize the table columns to fit your needs, change their order, fil­ter and sort tasks. ​​​
​
  • Drag&Drop — drag columns and arrange their order to suit your workflow.
  • Show and hide fields — keep only the fields that are cur­rent­ly need­ed on screen, and hide unnec­es­sary ones. 
  • Inline edit­ing — change execu­tors, dead­lines, and pri­or­i­ties direct­ly in the table, with­out open­ing each task.
  • Sort­ing and fil­ters — group tasks by dead­lines, execu­tors, sta­tus­es, etc.​​​​​​​​​​​​​

5️⃣Saved dis­play modes 

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, it is pos­si­ble to save the task table set­tings and share it with the team if needed. 

For exam­ple, ​“My tasks for today”, ​“Over­due by depart­ment”, ​“Crit­i­cal bugs”, ​“Ready for test­ing”, etc. They save fil­ters, sort­ing, col­umn set and order, group­ing of tasks, etc. This pro­vides quick access to nec­es­sary infor­ma­tion with one click. ​​​​
​
​
​

6️⃣Day plan 

​This is one of the new fea­tures that teams wait­ed for the most. A con­ve­nient tool to see how tasks are dis­trib­uted through­out the day — and now it’s here. 

The day plan in Work­sec­tion 2.0 is a per­son­al plan­ner with tasks for each user. It allows you to: 
  • see all your tasks for the day on one screen with time esti­mates for each;
  • eas­i­ly resched­ule tasks using Drag&Drop;
  • track activ­i­ty with a visu­al load scale; 
  • swift­ly rebuild the day if a task is delayed; 
  • view the load of oth­ers and coor­di­nate the workflow. ​

7️⃣Open tabs

​In Work­sec­tion 2.0, there is a bot­tom pan­el for open tabs to keep every­thing impor­tant handy. It is fixed at the bot­tom of the screen and pro­vides quick access to active tasks, chats, and drafts. ​​​​
​
​
​

Quick access to tasks

Open tabs con­tain min­i­mized tasks, chats, and drafts. Keep every­thing that needs your atten­tion handy. ​​​​
​

Instant switch­ing

The tab pan­el always remains on the screen, and switch­ing between tasks, chats, or drafts hap­pens with one click. This is espe­cial­ly con­ve­nient when you are involved in sev­er­al dis­cus­sions or work­ing on sev­er­al tasks simultaneously.​​​
​

Less chaos at work

Open tabs help avoid clut­ter in the brows­er. You see your pri­or­i­ties, quick­ly return to the nec­es­sary infor­ma­tion, and main­tain order in your workflow.​​​​
​

8️⃣Updat­ed Kanban 

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, work­ing with large projects on Kan­ban boards has become sim­pler and more convenient: 
  • The inter­face is not over­loaded — thanks to hier­ar­chy and group­ing, it is easy to nav­i­gate even with a large num­ber of tasks. 
  • Mass oper­a­tions with tasks — high­light cards with one click, move them between columns, copy, move, or delete as needed. 
  • Quick edit­ing — change execu­tors, dead­lines, and pri­or­i­ties direct­ly on the board, with­out open­ing each task sep­a­rate­ly. The board updates instant­ly and does not require reloading.
  • Adjustable columns — cus­tomize the width accord­ing to the team’s needs.
  • Quick search through the back­log — it works not only on task names but also on descrip­tions, tags, and respon­si­ble persons.
  • Task hier­ar­chy — all sub­tasks are dis­played under the main task and can be col­lapsed, expand­ed, and dragged along with the group.
  • Clear struc­ture — the team can eas­i­ly nav­i­gate the sta­tus­es, and the man­ag­er gets a com­plete pic­ture of the work with­out distractions. ​​
​
​

9️⃣Updat­ed Gantt chart 

We updat­ed the design of the Gantt chart in Work­sec­tion 2.0 to make it more con­ve­nient for dai­ly plan­ning. Tasks and dead­lines can be dragged direct­ly on the time­line, switch between dif­fer­ent scales (days, weeks, months), and see how tasks are relat­ed. Changes update instant­ly — even for large projects. ​

  • Mod­ern design — with a clear struc­ture, col­or mark­ers, and scaling.
  • Edit tasks direct­ly on the chart — change project and task dead­lines, execu­tors, and pri­or­i­ties with­out unnec­es­sary windows.
  • Instant updates — all changes imme­di­ate­ly reflect on the chart with­out refresh­ing the page, ensur­ing the plan is always up to date.
  • Con­nec­tions and depen­den­cies between tasks — the sys­tem shows how changes in one task affect others.​
As a result, the chart pro­vides not just a plan but a real pic­ture of the project over time — with all depen­den­cies and risks.​​​​​​​​​
​

🔟Cus­tom Dashboard 

​​In Work­sec­tion 2.0, the main page acts as your per­son­al dash­board that can be cus­tomized to your needs. It con­sists of wid­gets — mod­u­lar blocks that can be added, resized, and rearranged. All data on the dash­board updates in real time.​​​​
​
Avail­able widgets: 
  • Tasks — all tasks in one list: you can fil­ter, sort, and quick­ly find the need­ed ones by dead­lines, projects, or executors.
  • Pri­or­i­ties — shows the most impor­tant tasks from all projects, to keep focus on what matters.
  • Projects — a list of all projects with fil­ters (favorites, yours, all). Allows for quick­ly find­ing and man­ag­ing nec­es­sary projects.
  • Chats — active dis­cus­sions in teams and projects. 
  • Events — all changes in tasks in one place. You can fil­ter and leave only what con­cerns you.
  • Activ­i­ty chart — shows team load and dead­lines, helps under­stand the work rhythm and plan ahead.
  • Project and par­tic­i­pant sta­tis­tics — key met­rics of projects and par­tic­i­pant per­for­mance: progress, com­plet­ed tasks, time spent. 
  • Peo­ple — a list of the team with roles and load, to quick­ly find respon­si­ble per­sons and assign tasks.​​​
The main advan­tage of the Work­sec­tion 2.0 dash­board is that you choose what you want to see on the main screen. What’s need­ed is always at hand, so there’s no need to search for infor­ma­tion in dif­fer­ent sec­tions every time.

AI tools in Work­sec­tion 2.0

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, built-in AI tools have been intro­duced — seman­tic search, auto­mat­ic sum­maries of dis­cus­sions, and AI assis­tant in task descrip­tions. But this is just the begin­ning — we con­tin­ue to work on mak­ing AI help teams work even faster at every stage of project management.​​​​​​​​​​​
​

AI search

When you enter a query of three or more words, the sys­tem auto­mat­i­cal­ly launch­es seman­tic search across task descrip­tions and com­ments. Unlike reg­u­lar word-match­ing search, AI search finds results based on context.​​​​
​
​
​

AI sum­ma­ry

When there are many unread com­ments in a task, a ​“Sum­ma­ry” but­ton auto­mat­i­cal­ly appears. One click on it — and you get a con­cise AI sum­ma­ry of the dis­cus­sion instead of hav­ing to read through all mes­sages. This is con­ve­nient when you return to a task after a break or join a project at a lat­er stage.​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
​
​
​

AI assis­tant in the text editor

​We have added the abil­i­ty to edit text with AI in the task descrip­tion field. You can cor­rect errors, rewrite text, change tone, cre­ate a to-do list, or trans­late into anoth­er language. 

Mobile app Work­sec­tion 2.0

We have com­plete­ly updat­ed the Work­sec­tion 2.0 mobile app for Android and iOS. It now has a mod­ern inter­face, adapt­ed for any screen size, and allows you to stay con­nect­ed with your team from anywhere.

Key fea­tures:
  • Mobile-first design — the inter­face adapts to screen size, intu­itive nav­i­ga­tion, swipes, touch­es, and scal­ing for com­fort­able work.
  • Most tools from the desk­top ver­sion — cre­ate and edit tasks, track progress, and com­mu­ni­cate with your team.
  • Push noti­fi­ca­tions — instant reminders about impor­tant events and changes in your projects.
Some fea­tures, like mass oper­a­tions or drag­ging cards in Kan­ban, remain avail­able only on desk­top. How­ev­er, you can quick­ly respond to changes, receive impor­tant noti­fi­ca­tions, view tasks, and man­age projects from mobile. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​

Easy start in Work­sec­tion 2.0

The tran­si­tion to Work­sec­tion 2.0 is a sig­nif­i­cant update, but we made sure you won’t need to get used to the sys­tem all over again. We pre­served the famil­iar log­ic and made it more con­ve­nient — so you can imme­di­ate­ly con­tin­ue work­ing with less stress.

Famil­iar log­ic of projects, tasks, and roles
The struc­ture of projects, access­es, and task man­age­ment remain unchanged. No need to learn again — you can start work­ing right away.

Per­son­al­iza­tion from day one
Cus­tomize fil­ters, task views, and wid­gets to your lik­ing — just as is con­ve­nient for you.

Quick tran­si­tion to the new version
All projects, tasks, and set­tings are trans­ferred with­out loss. You can con­tin­ue work­ing from where you left off or import tasks from Excel or CSV.​​​​
​

Why switch to Work­sec­tion 2.0 today?

We built Work­sec­tion 2.0 based on real prob­lems faced by teams. When tasks get lost, and switch­ing between tools becomes con­stant, under­stand­ing the over­all pic­ture becomes dif­fi­cult. In the new ver­sion, we sim­pli­fied this.
  • Speed and effi­cien­cy — less rou­tine, more time for impor­tant tasks.
  • Less visu­al noise — the inter­face doesn’t over­load and helps quick­ly find what’s needed.
  • Flex­i­ble plan­ning and con­trol  — more oppor­tu­ni­ties to man­age tasks and the team’s workload.
  • Con­ve­nience for new­com­ers — quick start and the abil­i­ty to work with­out long onboarding.
  • Trans­paren­cy of process­es — a com­plete pic­ture of what’s hap­pen­ing in projects and at what stage tasks are.​​
