Hello Folks, this beta is the release candidate focused on speed, day-to-day workflow polish, and nudges to get Pro. It includes a major list-rendering upgrade, improved paste responsiveness, cleaner copy controls, new link display settings, fixes for ChatGPT links, smoother plugin account flows, and clearer Pro trial prompts.

Here's what's new in this beta:

Feature: Legend List Upgrade: The web list renderer now uses Legend List v3, which improves scrolling and rendering performance across the board on mobile devices, in larger documents, and in dense panes. This also keeps your current viewport steadier when items are added above it.

Fix: Large Paste Performance - Large multi-item pastes now process in smaller async chunks so Legend can keep responding while the paste is being parsed and inserted. Undo is also protected until the paste finishes, so long paste operations do not leave a partial undo state. Community report: Large multi-item paste lag

Feature: Copy Selections Without Prefixes - A new General setting lets copied full selections omit prefixes such as headings, bullets, tasks, and numbered lists. This makes it cleaner to move selected text from Legend into other apps. Copy without bullet prefixes

Feature: Link Display Settings - Link display can now be set globally from Display Settings and overridden per link from the link menu. Use Plain mode when you want compact text links, or Inline mode when supported app/plugin links should show richer inline styling. Community report: Ability to choose link type

Plugin Account UX - Browser plugin tiles now open your first linked account when available, use account chooser pages when multiple accounts exist, and include a clearer Add Account flow for Google/Gmail, Slack, and Jira.

Fix: ChatGPT Browser Plugin Links - The ChatGPT plugin now opens chatgpt.com by default and recognizes both chatgpt.com and older chat.openai.com links.

Trial and Upgrade Prompts - New welcome, trial-ending-soon, and trial-ended modals make the Pro trial state clearer. Trial prompts now show remaining days, use clearer Upgrade actions, and include a fixed mobile downgrade path.

As always, thanks for being part of the beta community. Please keep reporting issues and suggestions in the forum.

Hello Beta Testers! This April beta is focused on making Legend safer and more predictable in daily use, with fixes for Google Calendar, popup pane functionality, Google Drive attachments, dates, links, hotkeys, and several community-reported issues.

Google Calendar Confirmations – Legend now asks before making changes that can affect synced Google Calendar events, including moving or deleting events. We are moving to 'prompt' permission by default; you can always set it to 'write' (edit w/o prompting) in calendar settings. Calendar change confirmation

Google Drive Permission Reliability – Google plugins are now enabled based on the access actually granted to Legend, not just the access requested. If Drive access is missing or invalid, Legend now shows clearer guidance instead of opening a broken picker. Drive picker fails on the second account

Fix: Insert Dates at Cursor – Adding a date from the right-click menu now inserts it at the cursor position instead of the end of the item, and dates added at the start of an item no longer add an extra leading space. Date insertion spacing

Fix: Popup Pane Reliability – Popup panes now handle multi-select actions correctly, keep typing after indenting, and support hotkeys while working inside a popup pane. Popup pane issues: multiselect, hotkeys, typing after indent

Fix: Document Item Counts – Deleting items no longer double-decrements document counts, so item totals stay accurate after deletion. Item count after delete

Fix: Links in Notes and Sticky Notes – Note links now insert correctly when pressing Enter, and existing sticky note URLs can be opened, cleared, removed, or edited more reliably. Link management in sticky notes links

Hotkey Improvements – Added expand hotkey support, enabled Ctrl+L, and now reject duplicate hotkey assignments to make shortcuts more predictable. Hotkey improvements

Tag and Command Palette Polish – Tags now render with their custom colors, and long tag names no longer break the command palette layout.

Community report: [Tag colors and long tag names](https://community.legendapp.com/requests/post/weekly-bug-submissions-G7shykXBXsZcL1L)

Fix: Highlight Rename – Renaming a highlight across all panes. Highlight across panes rename

Fix: Calendar Dated Items in Outline/List – Items with dates no longer disappear from Outline or List view after calendar filters were changed in Calendar view.

Fix: Inferred Overview Headers – Overview headers using inferred hierarchy now stay visible after the document loses focus, and inferred-only headers correctly show their chevron.

Fix: Add Item Button Alignment – The “Add item” button icon and text now align properly.

Fix: Permanent Delete Cleanup – Permanently deleted panes and documents now clear out more reliably and disappear from Trash after deletion is complete.

Fix: Google Auth in Electron Browser Pane – Google authentication links now open inside the Electron webview instead of unexpectedly opening a separate browser window. Known Issue: passkey is not supported, and some flows still go to system browser.

As always, thanks for being part of the beta community. Please keep reporting issues and suggestions in the forum.

Known issues

These are still on our radar:

1. When adding a new item and quickly tabbing in / changing from bullet to text, there may still be an unintended undo effect.

2. There is a brief blinking effect where a change may disappear and then quickly reappear.

Thanks for testing and sending feedback—please keep the reports coming!

Hello everyone,

We’ve been testing an upgrade to our sync system for over a month, and we’re now making it available in Beta. This upgrade brings us to the latest LegendState release, and we’ll be working to iron out issues that have accumulated over the past several years.

To ship fixes quickly in the past, we addressed various sync issues by adding band-aids for specific scenarios, such as expand/collapse, user-change undos, and more. In this release, we’re removing those patches and focusing on solving the problems directly at the sync layer.

Known issues

1. When adding a new item and quickly tabbing in / changing from bullet to text, there may still be an unintended undo effect.

2. There is a brief blinking effect where a change may disappear and then quickly reappear.

Based on our month-long testing, we expect an overall improved experience. However, sync failures have always been difficult to reproduce consistently, so please let us know if you encounter any issues.

Hello everyone,
This marks the last merge before pushing the current code base into Production over the weekend. The patch adds to the previous Beta release with:

• Fixed user reported error for Board dragging not taking effect and dragging visual glitch. Known issue: persisting across clients lags, this is fixed in sync upgrade ETA Monday in Beta.
  

  

• Patched an issue with quick tag where disjoint multi select would end up tagging all lines.

Enjoy,
-Yonz
