• Project Notes are now Project Notes and Stories
  If you follow Scrum or Scrumban, you can now use this panel screen in projects to define your user stories, functionalities, features. You can still use this also as notes of course. Sam does not make a real difference between the two. A Story is a Note after all. It is not a task although it might have tasks attached to it.
  
• You can also archive Notes and Stories.
  This is useful if you have notes you want to discard or hide because they are no longer relevant. Or if you want to archive stories you want to retire from your backlog.
• You should consider Project Notes / Stories as the backlog of the project. They are not tasks though. A task is something to do, assigned to somebody. A Note or Story is the context of a task or a group of tasks.

• Happy New Year!
• Project Notes, Logs and Emails have now a filter. You can select to "show only star" documents. Star is a way to highlight a note or log or email for others in your team. Depending on the project type, you may use "stars" to mark notes you are actively working on, or emails with very important information in them.
  If you have many more non star documents, the ability to filter and show only star documents can help you a lot. You will not miss any important documents with this feature.
• New task category "Sooner".
  In addition to Soon, Rush and Later, you may now use "Sooner" for a task. This is mostly useful to sort tasks in your dashboard. Especially if you have many active tasks. Sam still schedules for you all your tasks. It does not treat Sooner any differently than Soon. But a "sooner task" will appear higher in the list, so you can focus on it first. Rush will still be treated with the highest priority by Sam scheduler.
• New logo and icon, if you reinstall or refresh your browser only.
