Once a title is selected, the editor sidebar suggests relevant content block templates you can add to the doc.
• GitHub App Settings - There is a new GitHub App Settings option to skip automatic Auto-sync approval on draft PRs.
• Import Data From Other Apps - Swimm now supports importing data from other apps such as Notion & Confluence so you can centralize all of your data in one place. To start importing, simply click the New icon on the repo page, and select the desired import option.
• Import Multiple Markdown Files - You can now import multiple Markdown files at once! Simply click the New icon on the repo page, and either manually upload from your computer or scan your repository to detect all existing Markdown files to import to Swimm.
• Auto-Join Swimm Workspaces - If you are an Admin of your team's workspace, you can now enable auto-workspace. Join with your company's email domain rather than having new members request to join. Note, this is currently only available to members signing up through Google. You can configure Auto-Join under the Invites component on the home page.

Improvements:​

• Creating Docs in Playlists - You can create new documentation for your Playlists inside an existing Playlist. Rather than having to create documentation first and then add them to your Playlist, you can now create docs from within the Playlists without needing to switch contexts.

We're pleased to announce the availability of Swimm 0.9.7❗ 🌊🚢🏊🚀🆕💥🎉✨

New features:​

• Mermaid Diagrams in Swimm - You can now add diagrams and charts to your documentation in Swimm, using mermaid syntax in the editor. Type /mermaid to start editing your mermaid diagram, or use templates from Mermaid Live Editor.

• Admin Rules- Admins in Swimm can now automate workflows using Swimm's GitHub App. Admins can set conditions and actions to promote documentation creation and consumption.

• Continuous Publish - Admins can now allow publishing docs from a repo to the Cloud, so that even when users don't have access to the repo, they will still be able to view those docs. Published docs are kept in sync with Swimm's GitHub App.

• Multi-repo Docs - Multi-repo docs are docs that contain one or more snippets from more than one repository. With Swimm, you can now create docs with code snippets across multiple repositories. Here's how: when opening the Snippet Studio, select snippets from any workspace repository. Note that selecting Smart Tokens and Smart Paths from other repositories is not currently supported. Snippets in a Multi-repo doc from other repositories are always Auto-synced from the default branch. When there are outdated or Auto-synced snippets in a Multi-repo doc, they can be resolved directly from the Swimm App (not from Swimm's GitHub App).

• Global Search - You can now search from anywhere across code-coupled docs, cloud docs, and Playlists in your workspace. To search, use ⌘+K (MacOS) or CTRL+K (Windows/Linux) or the search icon at the top right corner. For code-coupled content, Swimm will perform a global search only on the default branch and on committed docs/Playlists.

Improvements:​

• New Section for Docs and Playlist Versions - Instead of viewing multiple files for each version of a doc, you can now see the most relevant version of the Doc or Playlist. Docs with versions in-progress will have a small stack icon near their name. When you click the icon, you’ll see all versions of your Doc and Playlist (drafts, pending, and committed).
• Multiple File Import - Swimm now supports the ability to import multiple Markdown files. You can choose whether you want to import files from your computer, or Swimm can scan your repo and detect all of your Markdown files to create Swimm docs.

Bug fixes:​

• Fixed: when creating a doc from a PR and discarding the generated draft, the draft is now removed.

• Changing the Order of Repositories- You can now change the order of repositories displayed on the left-side navigation. To change the order, hover over any repository and drag the repository using the new 8-pin icon. Note, that changing the order only affects your Swimm account and not other members' accounts.
• Recommended Files to Document - Based on Swimm insights about your repository, we now make recommendations for files that you may wish to document. Recommendations can be found under "Insights" and are a great place to get started.

Improvements:​

• Doc from PR - Additions or changes in any package-lock.json or yarn.lock file will not appear in a doc created with the Doc from PR feature.
• Adding Tags to Doc Drafts - It is now possible to add tags to a doc draft before the doc is committed. Tags are saved in the doc when the draft is committed.
• Timeout Added to Swimm Verify Checks - A timeout was added to the Swimm Verify check to let users re-run a check which didn't finish due to an internal issue.
• Slack Notifications - When a user renames an existing doc and commits it, no Slack notifications are sent to the Admin-defined channel in Swimm's Slack app.
• CodeBlock Syntax Highlighting - Now, CodeBlocks will display a colorful theme and a language selector.

We're pleased to announce the availability of Swimm 0.9.5❗ 🌊🚢🏊🚀🆕💥🎉✨

• Cloud Docs- You can now create and store docs in the Cloud without connecting to a GitHub repository. Cloud Docs are great not just for developers but for any other roles in your organization (such as Customer Support, Sales Engineering, or Product Management) to store knowledge about processes, methodologies, or other internal technical documents such as PRDs, Sprint Retros, or other docs you wish to keep internally across your organization.

Improvements:​

• Commit Multiple Changes - You can now commit multiple changed documents in a single commit. There is a new section at the top of the home/repo page called "Commit Changes".

• Creating Docs from PRs - When creating a new doc from a Pull Request and manually entering a PR number, the new doc will be created on the PR branch instead of the default branch.
• Doc Requests - A doc request will automatically be marked as completed once you've merged its associated doc to the default branch. Note, that this requires installing the Swimm GitHub App.
• Swimm Verify Check Run - You can rerun an existing Swimm Verify check run via the Swimm GitHub App in cases, for example, when a check run is canceled or if there is an issue with the initial check run.
• Providing Feedback to Swimm - We improved our feedback form which is available in the Help Center.
• Keyboard Shortcuts - Improved the keyboard shortcuts section for Swimm’s Editor - also available in the Help Center.
• Help Articles - The Help Center now has a new section with many helpful articles to help you get started with Swimm.

We're pleased to announce the availability of Swimm 0.9.4❗ 🌊🚢🏊🚀🆕💥🎉✨

New features:​

• Sharing Doc Drafts- As an admin, you can now let users share doc drafts with teammates. This ability can be configured on a repository level via the Integrations & Settings page. The default setting is the Local Drafts . Once an admin selects the Cloud Drafts option, new drafts created by any user will be stored in the cloud for 30 days unless committed before then. Users can share a doc draft by clicking the share icon from the top right corner of the edit doc page and clicking on the Copy Link .

• Doc & Playlist Creation Hub- Creating new docs has never been easier. Simply click the "New" button on your repo page and see all the options to start creating new documentation.

Improvements:​

• Viewing and Edit Docs - When viewing or editing a doc with snippets, the referenced files section displays only filenames without their full path. You can still hover on a filename to see the full path.

• Adding Tags - When adding a tag from a specific doc, the list of workspace tags is ordered alphabetically.

Bug fixes:​

• In the GitHub App, when a PR only contains a Swimm doc change without any changes to the code, no Swimm comment will be added to the PR.
