What is Home for?
Home is centered on a source-linked Daily Briefing and Ask anything. It brings together relevant priorities, upcoming work, and signals across the Workspaces you can access. Follow a source link when you need the owner, due date, state, or underlying evidence.
Why did the Recorder not turn something into an Action Item?
A conversational suggestion is not always a commitment. Open the meeting's Notes and, when available, Transcript. If the work is real, create or update the Action Item with one named owner and a clear completion condition.
The meeting's Actions tab serves a different purpose: it contains prepared follow-ups such as emails, posts, tracker updates, prompts, or follow-up meetings.
Why does Chat give a broad or irrelevant answer?
Start a new Chat, use Add context, and choose the intended Workspace, document, or Topic. Remove unrelated context and ask for a specific period, decision, or output. Follow source links before relying on an important claim.
Why is a Workspace page stale?
Check the page's refresh state and open About this page to review its purpose, perspective, source inputs, and update behavior. Retry a failed refresh when appropriate, or edit the page directly when a human correction is needed.
Where do I manage Workspace pages?
A favourite Workspace can expose its pages directly in the navigation. Open Settings → [Workspace] → Pages for the full Structure tree, page creation, archives, recompilation, and Background documents. Some helper copy still says Documents during the terminology migration.
Why can I not find the Updates or Changelog tab?
The current meeting view uses Notes, optional Transcript, and Actions. Some older accounts or articles may still show a Changelog workflow. Use the controls present in your account; do not look for an Updates tab unless your rollout exposes it.
How is In Parallel different from Jira, Asana, Linear, Notion, or Slack?
Delivery systems manage detailed implementation work. Document tools hold source material and long-form artifacts. Communication tools handle conversation. In Parallel maintains shared execution context: what matters, what changed, who owns the next step, which risks are developing, and why decisions were made.
Workspace pages can now hold selected durable narrative inside In Parallel, such as a Charter or Runbook. They do not require you to move every document or delivery task into the product.
Does every Workspace use the same pages?
No. Teams choose page types that fit the work, such as a Charter, Runbook, Retro Log, Opportunities page, or Decision Log. Pages work alongside briefings, meetings, signals, goals, Topics, documents, and Chat; no single page type is required for every Workspace.
Do I need to use In Parallel every day?
You do not need to keep the In Parallel web app open all day. It supports the tools and routines you already use: talking points help you prepare for meetings, briefings bring relevant changes to you, and connected AI tools can retrieve authorized Workspace context through the In Parallel MCP connector.
Opening Home, Chat, or a Workspace page is another form of daily use when you need to inspect the sources, ask a focused question, or correct the maintained context. The value comes from having current context available in the flow of work, not from adding another application that you must constantly monitor.
