Changelog
Sharkly updates are published by date. Each update is grouped into three categories:
New product capabilities Changes to existing workflows, performance, or polish Defects and regressions
2026-08-20
New
- Multiple account sign-in and switching: keep more than one signed-in account and switch from the account menu. Expired accounts can be reauthenticated.
Improvements
- Jira sync troubleshooting: sync failures show a more specific underlying Jira error, with retry and focused troubleshooting guidance.
- Inbox Space filters: the Space picker now matches My tasks and lists only Spaces you have joined.
2026-08-19
New
- Multiple assignees: a Space can allow several people on one task. Everyone in that set is equivalent; there is no primary owner. Agent / Crew stay on a separate execution slot.
- Filter tasks by custom field in the CLI:
sharkly task list --field field=value. Type-aware exact match; repeated--fieldflags are ANDed and combine with existing filters. - Jira import then sync: the import wizard can enable bidirectional sync with the credentials already entered. An intranet proxy computer chosen in step 1 is reused for the sync connection.
Improvements
- Desktop chat attachments can be downloaded directly; after download, the file's folder opens.
- The Jira import wizard can copy vendor diagnostic details when the connection check fails.
2026-08-18
New
- A task can have multiple assignees, enabled in Space settings. Import and sync keep every assignee instead of only the first.

- Task detail conversation styling is cleaner.
Fixes
- Import history no longer stays on Importing after the import has finished.

- New users can select a Computer after creating an organization; the picker is no longer empty.

Improvements

- Slack status notifications make the task ID clickable and bold the current status.
- The task detail right panel can collapse. Long-running Agent output still shows which Agent it came from.
