In 2016, the creation of ClickUp in California was a real revolution in the project management tools sector. Indeed, they reversed the balance and dethroned some of the big players in the market at the time. These include Monday , Notion , Trello , and Asana . With this new version, it seems that they are repeating the feat given all the resources allocated and all the new features to come!
As a reminder, ClickUp 3.0 is an all-in-one digital workspace that combines online task management, team collaboration, document creation, chat, and goal-based governance. ClickUp 3.0 is a cloud-based collaboration and project management tool that is suitable for businesses of all sizes and industries. Features include team communication and collaboration tools, task assignment and status, alerts, time tracking, a project dashboard, and other task-related features. The tool is highly regarded in the industry thanks to its various features, including views, custom fields, and software integrations.
This new 3.0 generation of ClickUp is incredibly powerful, simple, and ready to redefine everyday business productivity. In addition to substantial improvements in performance and reliability, it offers many new features that help organize all your work, helping you work smarter and be more productive. It's this combination that makes the new version a revolution in task automation. The team focused on improving current features and developing new ones—everything to satisfy current users and newcomers!
As Certified Consultants , LANE Digital Consulting has been present at every stage of ClickUp 3.0: from the teaser to all partnership meetings, all the way to the early release. Not only were we familiar with the strengths and features of the tool, but we also had the opportunity to lead over a hundred ClickUp projects and collaborations. This allowed us to acquire a great deal of expertise with the tool and its various applications, and now gives us another advantage: the ability to compare and leverage new components immediately. This way, we will be able to create instant synergies between our proven approach and methodology and the new capabilities offered by ClickUp 3.0.

What's new with ClickUp 3.0?
A completely new infrastructure has been built, bringing substantial reliability improvements. The new architecture has been designed with infinite scalability in mind and will support your growth.
The database has been completely rebuilt based on three fundamental principles: reliability, quality, and performance for an efficient workflow. In addition, its architecture is now service-based. Here are some examples of these changes:
Consistent uptime every month, exceeding our 99.99% promise
Real-time updates, no more refreshing
Task display is 80% faster
Notifications load instantly
Faster displays, especially in Spaces and Workspaces
ClickUp 3.0: Stunning design and better user interface
The new version of ClickUp 3.0 offers a more intuitive user experience with a clean, modern look. ClickUp has truly emphasized simplicity while increasing the ease of interaction with all its components. The signature remains the same, but from a visual perspective, it looks smoother and more refined.
Better personal spaces with ClickUp 3.0
ClickUp 3.0 focuses on the user experience. This not only concerns the overall design of the software, but also specific windows. They are now cleaner and more intuitive, modern and uncluttered, as you can see:
Inbox: Organize your tasks with a redesigned inbox that highlights your most important notifications and offers a side-by-side view of related work.
Home: The home page can now be customized; it's about time! It automatically puts your most important work first and provides the context you need to dive into your business faster.
AI & Search with ClickUp 3.0
With a new design and an AI -powered assistant now built directly into ClickUp, you'll see time-saving potential everywhere:
ClickUp AI: Save time by automatically generating creative ideas, summarizing long texts, and improving your writing skills (and that's just the beginning, ChatGPT watch out!).
Universal Search: Instantly find any file not only in ClickUp but also in connected apps (e.g. Google Drive, Slack, Figma).
Command Center: Create keyboard shortcuts that let you take action on anything, anywhere.
Global Action Bar: Quickly access key work and content with a toolbar that knows what you need.
As we've all heard, AI will probably be the hot topic of the year. Therefore, all software must be interested in it and adopt it or integrate it to a certain extent. We can't wait for you to discover and play with ClickUp AI , as you will see how easy and simple these features are. For example, if this seems abstract to some of you, imagine that you hold weekly meetings and take notes. Absent collaborators will be able, thanks to AI, to get a summary of your one-hour meeting in one paragraph. This may not be rocket science to some, but it is the heart of productivity: executing regular tasks and projects more efficiently. At LANE Digital Consulting, we believe that AI is and will continue to be a great tool for this (a tool, not a solution!).
More intuitive collaboration tools
ClickUp said, “If you can think it, you can build it.” You’ll be able to manage it better and with more granularity thanks to the most powerful and customizable version of ClickUp:
Canvas and Cards: Convert ClickUp into a dynamic surface you can customize with moving cards that let you visualize work your way (managers, we're talking to you!);
Custom Task Types: As a task manager, create custom task types to represent just about anything you want to manage in ClickUp (accounts, folders, projects, people, etc.). During our training sessions, we explained that tasks could be anything you wanted as long as you defined them with SOPs. No need for SOPs now, everything will be clearer!
Improved Automations: Manage a diverse range of use cases with advanced logic and new actions. Plus, automations trigger in real time (no more manual refreshes!).
Conditional Logic Element in Forms: You will now be able to build smarter forms that can handle your most complex workflows.
Custom Fields Manager: To manage, edit, and search custom fields in one place.
ClickUp 3.0 opens up a whole new world of possibilities—that's what we want! Nothing new here, but some useful improvements for us.
With Canvas and Cards, views will no longer be the solution to all our challenges. Just as before, to filter information, custom fields, display tasks in different visual representations, and obtain a funnel view of a department or projects, views were the cornerstone of the success of the ClickUp workspace. Indeed, canvases and cards will allow us to display information based on its type, importance, and so on.
We'll gain in intuitiveness, but also in ease of implementation. This could have an impact on the training we offer our customers. It will allow us to either allocate more time to training or devote more time to the complexity of configuring ClickUp. Either way, it's a win for all of us.
The same goes for custom task types and improved task automation . While previously we had to move outside of ClickUp and create synergies with Make (a silver partner by the way), some automations can now stay within ClickUp, which will save us time in installation and will be easier for customers to access. This is very good news!
Finally, regarding conditional logic in forms , we are happy that this feature is also appearing because many clients have been asking for it. Imagine you have forms in your ClickUp for recruiting needs. Previously, you had to create one form per job offer. Now, your first question will be to know which position the candidate is responding to. From this first question, the conditional logic will be implemented and will lead to +10 different forms. This will streamline your recruiting process in ways we could never have imagined before this new release!
Regarding the Custom Field Manager , we have already seen some companies reach the existence of +1000 custom fields, while repeating x50 times the same custom field due to a lack of communication and/or best practices across the workspace. This created frustration, wasted time finding the right custom field, and weakened automation since they could not rely on the same custom field… This will now become much easier, although best practices will still be necessary, of course.
What's next with ClickUp 3.0?
We can confirm that ClickUp 3.0 will be launched in two phases: Starting in early March 2023, Clickup is rolling out the ClickUp 3.0 experience to workspaces in beta and will increase the speed of invitations to those on the waitlist over the coming weeks.
Then, the general deployment of version 3.0 took place during April and the “migration” of workspaces during June 2023.
ClickUp 3.0 is a significant milestone in terms of quality improvement, finalization of existing features and future innovations.
LANE Digital Consulting sincerely hopes you're excited to hear about all these new features; we are! Not only is this a massive technological improvement from a tool perspective, but it will also continue to revolutionize the way we work and yours every day! And the great thing is, we'll be there for you throughout this new chapter!
So don't hesitate to make an appointment with us to discuss these new features or to implement them when they become available!
