You can now format Notes using our new slash commands. This helps to speed up writing meeting notes, specs, and documentation.
To use, head to Hive Notes:
  • Type
    /h1
    or
    /h2
    to add headings
  • Type
    /code
    to insert a code block
  • Type
    /image
    to upload an image
  • Type
    /attachment
    to upload a file
You can now @mention a project’s owner(s) directly from an action card comment using
@project-owner
(it will also autocomplete if you start typing “owner” or “project”). This makes it much faster to loop in the right person without having to search through project settings or member lists first.
We also improved visibility in the Following modal by adding a dedicated Project owners section. Project owners are now clearly separated from project members, making it easier to understand who is responsible for the work at a glance.

Tables in Notes now start in a more useful default format. New tables default to a 3x3 grid and full width for a cleaner layout.

This is helpful for anyone building quick trackers, checklists, or lightweight tables inside Notes.
We've rolled out the first version of Buzz's newest functionality:
AI Proofing
. Buzz now automatically reviews PDFs for spelling, clarity, tone, and accessibility, helping teams catch issues faster without manual scanning.
Suggested edits appear directly in Hive, so feedback stays in context and is easy to act on. This reduces review cycles and keeps work moving without extra back-and-forth.
You can access AI Proofing from the ✨ icon in the proof window.

Please note: To access Buzz Proofing, you must have Proofing & Approvals and Buzz enabled in your workspace.
To speed up formatting and reduce time spent digging through toolbars, Notes now support slash commands for quickly inserting common blocks.
In Notes, simply type "
/
" on a new line to open the command menu (for example: insert a divider, table, or action embed).

When saving a project as a template, you can now edit the template name directly in the flow.
In any project, open the project menu (three dots) and choose
Save as template
.

This allows teams to keep their template library organized.
Workflows can now use
form submission fields
as condition inputs, so users can trigger automations based on what someone submitted in a form.
For example: If a form field equals a specific value, automatically assign an associated label or update status.
When creating a workflow, select "Form is submitted" and choose a form. In the "Then" statement, click the filter icon to set conditions based on form fields.

The number of conditions set will display above the "then" trigger.

Harvest time tracking now supports
per-user OAuth
and uses the
Harvest Platform widget
for a more native timer experience.
To access this, Enable
Harvest
in Apps. Connect your Harvest account when prompted (each user connects their own account). From here, start/stop timers from Hive using the integrated Harvest timer experience.
This helps create cleaner individual authentication (no shared credentials) and faster, more familiar Harvest timer flow from within Hive.
Tables in Hive Notes are now easier to format and edit.
New additions include:
  • A
    table selection toolbar
    for quick formatting (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, highlight)
  • Easier controls for
    adding rows and columns
  • Quick access to
    delete table
This makes formatting and maintaining Notes tables significantly quicker, especially for larger docs.

Thank you to
Alexander
from
Hive
for requesting this feature!
Timesheets can now auto-populate rows from action cards with assigned time estimates, even if no time has been logged yet. This helps to ensure the Total (allocated) view reflects planned work, not just recorded time.
To use this, open the Time Tracking app, go to Settings, and select "Automatically fill from: Time recorded from action cards". Your timesheet will populate with relevant actions — both those with tracked time and those with estimates in the selected date range — so you know exactly what you’re expected to log time against.
