Work smarter with Stacks

As you already know, Stacks bring all your work materials into one organized space, even when they live across different apps.

Instead of moving between folders, email threads, and documents, you can group everything by purpose or project, and shape your workspace around how you like to work.

Try this quick demo below to see how easy it is to create, organize, and share a Stack.

What sets Stacks apart

Stacks organize content by purpose, not by storage location. Unlike folders that rely on where things live, Stacks connect resources across apps into one clean, guided experience.

Internal and external sharing: Stacks aren’t just for internal organization, they’re also designed for sharing work externally. You can use a Stack to bring together files, links, notes, and context from different tools into one clear, structured view. Instead of sending multiple links or documents, you share a single Stack, organized the way you want.

Stacks work just as well for internal alignment as they do for sharing with clients, partners, or stakeholders, with full control over structure, context, and access.

This flexibility makes Stacks easy to adapt to many different workflows.

Example of implementation

Onboarding:

A Stack with tools setup, policies, intro videos, and role-specific tasks.

Team member best practices

Using Stacks effectively helps you stay aligned, work faster, and reduce the time spent searching for information. When everyone follows a few simple best practices, Stacks become a shared workspace that keeps projects organized and makes cross-team collaboration smoother.

1. Build Stacks around repeatable workflows

Create Stacks for the tasks you perform often, like weekly planning, client prep, project handovers, or onboarding new team members. This turns your workflow into a reusable, organized system instead of starting from scratch each time.

2. Map your workflow into the Stack order

Arrange items in the same sequence you move through the work:

  • context

  • key resources

  • tools

  • final deliverables

This turns your Stack into a guided path, not just a collection of links.

3. Use Stacks as a “single source of truth” for projects

Pull in everything (files, notes, tasks, references) from all your apps. When your workflow lives in one place, you reduce tool-switching, misunderstandings, and time spent searching.

4. Share Stacks at key workflow moments

Use Stacks to support the flow of work:

  • before meetings, to align everyone

  • during a project, to keep updates centralized

  • at handover, to give complete context

This keeps your workflow clean and consistent across teammates.

5. Keep Stacks updated as your workflow evolves

As tasks shift, priorities change, or files get updated, adjust your Stack so it always reflects your current work. A well-maintained Stack keeps your workflow smooth and reliable.

6. Clone successful Stacks to standardize workflows

When a Stack improves your workflow, duplicate it for similar projects or share it with your team. This spreads good habits and creates consistent ways of working.

7. Use personal Stacks to speed up daily tasks

Create Stacks that support your personal workflow:

  • quick-access tools

  • templates you use often

  • reference materials

  • These become your

    “command

    centers” for faster execution.


Over time, these habits turn Stacks into a reliable workspace your team can trust to stay aligned and move work forward with less friction.
