Sorting a list to find the right order is one thing — making that order stick used to mean dragging items one by one. Now you can apply any sort and stamp it in as the permanent rank with a single click. Use it for backlog grooming, priority sessions, or any time you want the order you sorted by to become the order itself.
How to use it:
Working with deep, nested work has been overhauled. The Items table now gives you a dedicated toolbar to collapse and expand the whole tree to any depth, plus new dedupe controls in the filter bar so cross-linked items don't clutter your view.
How to use it:
Until now, PRs only attached to items through commit messages or branch names. If a PR slipped through that net, there was no way to tie it back. You can now link any PR to any work item by hand — directly from the GitHub tab.
How to use it:
Every applied view option — Hide Subtasks, Include Archived, hierarchy mode, and others — now appears as a green pill in the filter bar across every module (Items, My Work, Portfolio, Boards, Gantt). At a glance you can see exactly what's shaping the view you're looking at, and clear individual options without digging into menus.
Members no longer see the Analytics module. This is a step toward our upcoming permissions rollout, which will give you fine-grained control over what every role can see and do.
If you use DevStride through MCP (for example, inside Claude or another AI client), you now have the same subtask filtering controls available in the UI — show, hide, or include subtasks in queries the same way you would from the app.
Cmd+Enter (or Ctrl+Enter on Windows/Linux) to commit it — no need to click away from the field.
