Sidebar improvements

Left pane personalization with pins

You can now personalize the left navigation pane to fit your workflow. Pin the boards, apps, or views you want instant access to, and remove ones you don’t use often. This keeps your workspace cleaner and faster to navigate.

Icon sets in WorkCanvas

WorkCanvas shape libraries

WorkCanvas now offers professional shape libraries directly inside the canvas. Instead of manually uploading or redrawing icons, you can choose from premade sets like AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and more. This saves time and helps maintain consistency in your diagrams.

Workflow improvements

Smarter workflow triggers and AI flow creation

The workflow tool has gained new powers, especially for Enterprise customers:

  • A new trigger called “when any column changes” lets your flow respond to changes in any column, not only specific ones.
  • A new action “find matching subitem” helps you locate and update related subitems in your workflow logic.
  • Perhaps the most exciting: you can now generate a workflow from scratch using AI. Just describe what you want to happen (“when X, do Y, notify Z”), and monday.com builds the flow for you.

Improved AI

Better AI inputs and clearer block descriptions

Several AI improvements offer more control:

  • Item updates can now serve as input for AI actions. Instead of static values, your AI steps can dynamically respond to what’s happening in item updates.
  • You can now add descriptive text to every AI block, specifying exactly how you want AI to interpret or act. This helps make AI behavior more predictable and tailored.

Practical tips

How to use these monday.com updates

Here are a few suggestions to make the most of these new tools in your workspace:

  1. Customize your left pane from day one. Pin the most used boards or apps so you don’t waste clicks navigating. Remove unused ones for clarity.
  2. Make diagrams faster with shape libraries. When mapping system architecture or process flows, choose from built-in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud icons instead of finding them elsewhere.
  3. Use generic triggers in workflows for flexibility. The “when any column changes” trigger is great in boards with many moving parts. It catches changes regardless of which column updates.
  4. Let AI help you scaffold automations. Use the AI workflow builder for ideas or first drafts of workflows, then refine as needed.
  5. Refine AI logic with descriptive block text. Where possible, add descriptive instructions inside an AI block so it knows your intention, improving output accuracy.

April 2025’s updates bring a balance of usability and power. Personalization features like pinning left pane items help with daily flow, while the upgraded canvas tools speed up visual planning. Workflow automation is smarter, and AI becomes more controllable with better inputs and block instructions.
