Hi, thanks for the update. I have a question about mirrors. When I use (( it creates a mirror bullet FROM another bullet. Is there a shortcut to create a mirror TO.

I use workflowy for everything, agenda, calendar, notes, etc. So when I am taking notes in a meeting it would be great to just type a shortcut and mirror the bullet TO another list

Good that you’re working on the issue of pasting text into Workflowy.

But as for now, pasting from MS Word into Workflowy is still a mess…
Random line breaks are added in the middle of sentences … It doesn’t make sense.

As mentioned before, other outliners (like Legend) don’t have this issue pasting from the same source.

A workaround seems to be to paste into Wordpad first and then into Workflowy… But that is a needless extra step. 🤔

Nice additions, but the one update I would like to see more than all the others you’ve made in the past years is this: compatibility with other programs’ bullet formatting.

Please at least provide us with an export tool that doesn’t give us a bunch of black dots and weird formatting that forces us to erase one by one and then restructure to some semblance of a list, bulleted or otherwise. Exporting Workflowy notes is a mess.

I share bulleted lists directly with Workflowy with collaborators already and I constantly sing the virtures of Workflowy to the world, but Workflowy is not, and should not be, a word processing program. So when I do all my brainstorming and outlining in Workflowy, I’m stuck there. There’s no clean way to bring that into MS Word, or Google Docs, or even an email. Please please please fix this. Or if the solution exists already and I’ve been too daft to find it, please put me on the right track! Thank you.

Otherwise keep up the great work Workflowy team! I do love this product and use it daily.

Thanks,

Hi Greg, thanks for the feedback.

Re “compatibility with other programs’ bullet formatting.”

Does this image of a Workflowy list copied/pasted into Google Docs show the problem you described?

Hi Phil,

Hard to say. Does the program recognize those dots as bullets, or are they just characters? Will they move over if you press Tab or Shift Tab? Does deleting them remove the whole line as a normal billeted list would, or just the dot?

Generally, word processing programs use different bullet styles for each bullet level (i.e., parent, child). These appear to simply be character dots followed by a tab spacing.

Thanks for your response,

I think you’re mistaken. If you paste from Workflowy into MS Word you just have to “select all” and turn off “bullets” and you should have regular text.

Alternatively you can paste your text into Wordpad and that automatically deletes the bullets for you.

I just did a test with that. 🙂

Hey Rodolfo !

Excellent 🙂

Regarding the mirror, i’d like to see a shortcut to detach the mirror 😎

Keep doing the good work.
