Retrospectives give teams a focused space to reflect, turn feedback into action, and keep the conversation connected to their work.
Run A Team Retrospective
•
Guided board - Teams sort feedback into Went Well, To Improve, and Action Items, with prompts and counts that keep the conversation moving. The Retrospectives guide shows how to find or create a board.
•
Add feedback - Participants add and edit cards directly in any column. Each card shows its author, and only that author can save later text changes.
•
Shared updates - Card edits appear live for other viewers, while authors keep their place as changes arrive from another window.
•
Move feedback - Authors can move their cards between the three columns from the card menu as ideas become action items.
•
Undo and redo - Authors can undo and redo their card changes through the menu or familiar keyboard shortcuts.
•
Lightweight reactions - Members with reaction permission can add emoji responses and see who reacted, making it easy to reinforce ideas without adding another card.
•
Live participants - The header shows current viewers, while pointers and text selections help people follow attention on individual cards.
Create And Reopen Boards
•
Flexible entry points - People can create boards from Docs, the Retros explorer, or a meeting, then reopen them from their linked retrospective files.
•
Board access - Creating a board requires Retrospectives access, currently included with Coordinator. Only members with access to its space area can open or contribute.
•
Connected workspace - Boards stay linked to the space area, subspace, or activity where they began, so browsing and exit navigation return to the right place.
•
Linked notes - Each board includes a draft article for longer context and comments. On desktop, open either beside the board without leaving the discussion.
•
Document details - The board menu shows its location, owner, and card count, with a rename action for members allowed to change the linked document.
•
Clear feedback - Loading, empty, unavailable, and error states help people understand when a board or card cannot be opened or saved.
Saving And Recovery
•
Save feedback - One board status brings together pending edits, connection problems, and recovery notices across your cards.
•
Save shortcut - In a standalone board, the save shortcut submits pending changes across your authored cards.
•
Retained edits - Interrupted edits stay available locally for recovery, with retry and reopen actions when synchronization needs attention.
•
Multiple windows - Authors can continue in another window while keeping each window's unfinished work separate. Recovery choices appear when several retained sessions need attention.
Meetings And Flexible Layouts
•
Meeting live app - Teams can create or reopen a retrospective on a meeting stage and use the same cards, participants, reactions, article, and comments.
•
Stable meeting view - Switching meeting layouts keeps the selected board visible, while choosing another retrospective loads it cleanly.
•
Responsive workspace - Opening a board on a narrow screen stacks the columns vertically, with feedback cards and Add Card actions spanning the available width.
Current Boundaries
•
Fixed format - Boards use the same three columns and do not yet support custom columns or drag ordering. Move cards through their menu instead.
•
Open sessions - Boards stay editable and do not yet include a formal close, guided voting phases, or export.
•
History boundary - Card undo and redo are available, but the History panel does not yet provide a restorable board history.
