What "Needs you" means
The list on your front page and in Entries of what waits for your choice in a workspace.
Some things in a workspace wait for a person to decide. Cranes never settles them for you and never hides them in Settings. They’re listed under Needs you at the top of every front page in the workspace and at the top of Entries, and the weekly team email lists them too. Each one goes away once it’s done, or when you choose to leave it.
A chapter shared with the team
Olive shared “How we price pilots” with the team.
For a team’s owners and admins. Someone shared one of their own chapters with the team. It’s already waiting to be learned with everything else. Choose Adopt as the team’s to make it the team’s position as written, or Leave it. See Adopt a chapter as the team’s position.
Something that may matter to the team’s thinking
A correction in Slack may matter to the team’s thinking. Cranes kept it in Design.
When a Slack channel, Linear, or Jira feeds a group, a correction there, or something a search there found, can be about the team’s thinking. Cranes keeps it in the group and never adds it to the team’s on its own. The group’s members see it here with the words it’s about. Choose Share with the team to add a copy to the team’s thinking, or Keep it in the group.
A Slack channel waiting for a place
Someone asked @Cranes in #pricing, which Cranes doesn’t read yet.
For owners and admins. Someone mentioned @Cranes in a channel nobody chose yet, so it couldn’t answer there; the person who asked was told so privately. Choose Choose to pick whose thinking the channel feeds, or Not now.
A source that stopped
Linear stopped: the group it fed was deleted.
For owners and admins. A source stopped reading because the group it fed was deleted, Cranes was removed from your Slack, or the service no longer accepts Cranes’ access. Choose Fix it to open the source in Settings.
You were added to a group
You’re in Design. Only the people in it read its thinking.
Someone added you to a group. Choose Open it, Leave the group, or Got it. You also get an email saying who added you.
Who sees what
Items about a shared chapter, a Slack channel, or a source are settled for everyone once one person chooses. Items about a group you were added to are yours alone.
