This week extends the new document editor with media blocks, true block colors, multi-block selection, and a Listen button that reads your documents aloud. We also shipped calendar events with recurring invitations and RSVP that work with external calendars, Slack-style scheduled messages for chat, a Board trash with restore and permanent delete, and renamed voice channels to "meeting channels" across the app.

New Features​

Document Editor — Media Blocks, Listen Aloud & Multi-select​

The document editor keeps getting richer this week:

  • Video, audio & file blocks — drop in videos, audio clips, and file attachments, each with a clean placeholder that opens an Upload or Link panel; images now use the same flow so cancelling an upload never leaves an empty block behind (#2941)
  • Listen to your documents — a new Listen button reads a whole document — or a single block, or any selection — aloud through a floating player you can drag, scrub, and speed up, and it keeps playing as you move between pages (#2941)
  • True block colors — set a background color or text color on a block from the six-dot menu, and new lines no longer inherit the previous block's color (#2945)
  • Toggle headings — toggles can now carry an H1/H2/H3 summary that shows up in the table of contents, just like Notion (#2946)
  • Multi-block selection — drag across the margin or shift-click to select a range of blocks, then duplicate, delete, move, color, or turn them into another type all at once (#2941)
  • Copy a block — copy a block (or a whole selection) to your clipboard from the six-dot menu to paste elsewhere (#2941)
  • Editor polish — /h1, /h2, /h3 shortcuts for headings, tidier spacing between stacked images, and a fix for tables that left an empty shell behind when dragged (#2944)

Calendar — Events with Recurring Invitations & RSVP​

A standalone calendar event system that plays nicely with external calendars (#2926):

  • Send real calendar invitations — create events with participants and recurrence, and invitees receive proper calendar invitations they can accept or decline from Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar
  • RSVP both ways — RSVPs flow back into Copera, and you can RSVP to events directly inside Copera too
  • Invite, update & cancel notifications — get in-app and email notifications when you're invited to, updated on, or removed from an event, with per-recipient preferences and the event details one click away (#2934)
  • Event reminders — automatic reminder emails before an event, in each recipient's time zone

Chat — Scheduled Messages​

Send messages on your own schedule, Slack-style:

  • Schedule any message — pick "later today", "tomorrow", "Monday", or a custom date and time from a split send/schedule button in the message box (#2941)
  • Manage what's queued — a Scheduled Messages button appears in the actions bar whenever you have messages waiting, where you can edit their content, send them now, or delete them (#2941)

Boards — Trash with Restore & Permanent Delete​

  • Board trash — deleted boards now go to a trash you can open from the board navigation, where you can restore a board or delete it permanently (#2941)
  • Delete with awareness — deleting a table or a column now shows you exactly what depends on it before you confirm, so nothing important disappears by surprise (#2936, #2937)

Public Documents — Full Support for New Blocks​

  • Shared documents look right — publicly shared documents now render the new toggles, callouts, columns, and compact tables faithfully, and a pre-publish warning lets you know when private content (like inline comments or transcriptions) will be hidden from public viewers (#2935)

Bug Fixes​

  • Chat & email — typing in the chat and email composers no longer adds an extra empty line, and sent messages no longer carry surplus spacing at the bottom (#2947)
  • Editor — the inline "Ask AI" prompt's "Open in chat" now opens your conversation on the current Ask Copera AI page (#2942)
  • Ask Copera AI — completed tool steps (like "Searching the web…") now show a checkmark when you reopen a conversation instead of being stuck on a spinner (#2940)
  • AI everywhere — AI responses that contain raw HTML or unusual formatting no longer break the document; they now render cleanly (#2935)
  • Calendar — one-off events no longer carry a stray daily-repeat rule (#2934)

Improvements​

Meeting Channels (formerly Voice Channels)​

  • A clearer name — voice channels, gathering spaces, and the old meeting feature are now consistently called "meeting channels" and "meetings" across the app, notifications, and emails (#2943)

Editor AI — Selection Awareness​

  • Send just your selection to AI — when you open the editor's AI prompt with text selected, it now sends only that selection (shown as a single chip) instead of the whole document, across docs, board rows, chat, and the email composer (#2939)

Virtual Office​

  • Presence at a glance — the Virtual Office nav button now shows a stack of avatars for who's currently inside, and only grows taller when someone is there (#2938)
