What's new

The latest from SmartRetro.

Features, fixes, and improvements as they ship — newest first.

A full product reference is now public at /docs, and help is one click away from the sidebar, command palette, and account menu.

docs

There’s now a written guide to the whole loop — connecting sources, reading signals, running retros, and keeping follow-through visible.

Read it anywhere

Browse the guides at our documentation: getting started, the core loop, integrations, account and admin, and an FAQ. Every article links back to the product surface it describes.

Help where you get stuck

Inside the app, the sidebar and account menu carry a help link, the command palette has a Docs entry, and empty states now point you at the relevant guide. The feedback box also takes “I have a question,” so a how-do-I never has to become a support hunt.

The team switcher is now the center of the app. Signals, retros, and action items all read through the team you're in — or an aggregate view across every team you're on.

Everything in SmartRetro belongs to a team, so the app now puts the team front and center.

Switch scope in one place

The sidebar has a team switcher at the top. Pick a team and every page — Home, Signals, Retros, Action items — stays in that team’s scope until you switch again. On several teams, choose All my teams to see everything at once, with each row tagged by its team. Your choice sticks, and it’s in the URL so a link you share opens in the same scope.

A calmer sidebar

The navigation moved to a left sidebar you can collapse for full-width reading, with a “Listening” card that honestly reflects what SmartRetro is watching right now — and says “Not listening yet” when no sources are connected, rather than implying coverage you don’t have.

See the documentation for the details.

SmartRetro now surfaces positive patterns too — the practices that held up — not just the friction. The retro brief gets a 'Worth preserving' section alongside what needs attention.

Team memory shouldn’t only be a list of problems. SmartRetro now detects positive patterns as well as corrective ones.

Worth preserving

When a commitment gets followed through, or a blocker gets cleared quickly, that can surface as a positive pattern — evidence-backed, tied to what actually happened, never vague praise. The retro brief now has a Worth preserving section next to Needs attention, so a retro can reinforce what’s going right, not just fix what isn’t.

As with every signal, these link back to their source, and your team decides what to do with them.
