WorkForm updates

Edit and view modes, settings revamp, and share model control

WorkForms now supports a clean dual mode system with edit mode and view mode. You can build and preview your forms in real time, seeing exactly how they’ll look as you adjust fields. The settings page is redesigned for clarity, with more intuitive layout and customizable options so form creators can configure visibility, notification behavior, and access with less friction. A new share model gives you deeper control over who sees or fills out your forms. You can set which users or roles are allowed access, making distribution safer.

WorkCanvas updates

Gantt element, dependencies, and canvas protection

WorkCanvas gets a project planning boost. A new Gantt chart element lets you drag tasks, create dependencies, and visualize timelines in a familiar project format. Canvases can now be password-protected to restrict access and protect sensitive diagrams or blueprints you share with external collaborators.

AI updates

Smarter automation logic with AI actions on mirror columns

AI’s reach expands into mirror columns. You can now run AI actions whose inputs or outputs interact with mirrored data from other boards. This lets you build automations that respond to data from linked boards. For example, if a status changes elsewhere, AI might trigger a related update here.

Synchronized permissions

Synchronize the board permissions with managed templates

If your workspace uses managed templates (parent templates) to standardize workflows, you can now sync board permissions from those templates to all derived child boards. That means you define structure and access once, and all future boards based on that template inherit those settings automatically.

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. Work forms with confidence. Use edit/view modes when designing forms so you see the final layout as you build. Tweak field order or settings with immediate visual feedback.
  2. Lock down who can use forms. Use the share model to restrict form access (e.g. to clients, team members, or public) to protect sensitive data.
  3. Plan visually in canvas and protect it. Use the Gantt element to structure timelines. When sharing canvases with external users, enable password protection so only authorized parties can view.
  4. Use AI on mirror columns. If you mirror data from other boards, start building automations where AI reads that data and produces actions in the current board, for example conditional updates or alerts.
  5. Leverage synced permissions across templates. For recurring project types, use a managed template with locked permissions to ensure all new boards follow the same guardrails.

January 2025 updates continue monday.com’s trend of blending control, clarity, and smart automation. The WorkForms enhancements make form workflows more dynamic and secure. WorkCanvas gets serious project visuals with Gantt plus access protection. AI’s scope grows by touching mirror columns. And governance becomes easier with synced permissions on template boards. Together, these changes support teams that want structure without rigidity.
