• View customizable insights with filtering by work item type, priority, and other properties
• Monitor active projects with completion percentages at a glance
• See detailed breakdowns of work items by state across all projects
• Export data as CSV for further analysis in your preferred tools

⚡ Enhancements

• Slack Integration
• When you create a work item using the Create New Issue shortcut (from the three-dots menu in Slack), any updates to fields like State or Assignee will now automatically sync back to the Slack thread.

• You can now set a default Slack channel for each project from the Slack integration settings page. Once that’s set up, Plane will automatically post to the selected channel whenever a new work item is created in that project.
