Aha! Notebooks — Your Product Documents, Whiteboards, and Tasks in One Place

Editor's note: Aha! Notebooks has been split into Aha! Knowledge and Aha! Whiteboards.

Thinking through big ideas and collaborating with the team on them is essential. This is why we have been expanding the functionality of notes, whiteboards, and task management in Aha! software — giving you more options for iterating and getting work done with your team. Today, we are sharing our biggest enhancements yet to our digital notebook for product builders.

We are excited to announce that Aha! Notebooks (formerly Aha! Create) has a new home screen for quick access to notes, whiteboards, and nearly 50 guided templates. It also includes the ability to track tasks.

The beautiful home screen enables you to see everything you are working on in one view. Quickly access your most recent notes and whiteboards and track a checklist of to-dos. Dedicated pages for managing your to-dos and documents help keep you organized.

The product's new name better reflects the comprehensive solution it provides. Aha! Notebooks has come a long way since we launched it just over six months ago. It is clear that it solves a real need for product builders who want one place to document information, think through concepts, and collaborate with others.

It is worth a reminder that everything in Aha! Notebooks is already included in other Aha! products at no additional cost. If you are an Aha! Roadmaps customer, you now have a new way to add Aha! Notebooks users to your account — so other people in your organization can view, edit, and create documents in selected workspaces. It is time to streamline how you go from brainstorming to structured planning — consolidating tools and saving costs at the same time.

Let's take a deeper look at how you can use Aha! Notebooks to fire up your creativity and stay organized:

See an overview of your work

When you open Aha! Notebooks, you will land directly on the new My work page. Here you can see everything you are working on at a glance. Track to-dos based on when they are due — today, this week, and later — and quickly access your most recent notes and whiteboards. Or create a new document. Below, we selected a template to get going fast.

Keep track of to-dos

Head to the To-dos page for a focused view of your personal tasks. Here, you can create new to-dos and quickly filter existing ones by due date and status so nothing gets missed. See what needs to be done and when — so you can plan your day and decide where to focus first.

Quickly find what you need

Spend less time searching and more time getting work done. Below, we are on the new Documents page. Thumbnails make it easy to scan the notes and whiteboards that you recently worked on — so you can locate the one you want. Click on the Shared with me page to jump back into documents you have been invited to contribute to.

Product managers need a creative space to jumpstart the planning process and gather input. Aha! Notebooks provides exactly what you need to do that and so much more.
