NEW! Tana Publish: Page

Tana has launched a “Publish Page” feature that turns structured workspace content into polished, shareable web documents—complete with formatting controls, live collections, and optional per-item pages. The practical payoff is simple: instead of copying and pasting notes, highlights, or research summaries into email or docs, users can right-click a structured block (or publish a whole page) and generate a clean link others can read immediately.

The walkthrough starts with meeting notes built from Tana “super tags.” A meeting node includes fields like meeting date, attendees, agenda, and a written summary plus decisions. Publishing is triggered from within the workspace—right-clicking a bullet and selecting publish preview—then producing a visually laid-out document on the web. Formatting isn’t one-size-fits-all: each field can be rendered as a label/value pair, a heading with paragraph text, a list, a quote, or a paragraph-only display. Indentation in the source structure maps to hierarchy on the published page, so nested sections become headings and list items automatically.

Access and lifecycle are also straightforward. Published pages use a shareable URL containing a random string, functioning like “anyone with the link can view,” with no authentication or invite-by-email controls yet. Unpublishing removes the page from public access; attempting to open the old link results in an error.

A second example shows how Publish Page supports “book reviews” using a live search and a card-style overview. A page titled “my book reviews” includes a live query that pulls in all items tagged as book review. When published, the overview can display ratings and review text in a cards view. If content changes after publication, updates require an explicit “publish changes” action rather than auto-updating.

The feature also supports drill-down publishing. Individual book review items can be published as their own pages. Once those exist, the overview cards can switch from showing full text to linking out to each item’s dedicated published page—creating an interconnected reading experience where a short summary lives on the collection page, while the full review sits behind a click.

The third example targets longer research workflows. A “question” super tag gathers synthesis material plus related claims and thoughts into a tabbed published layout. Referenced nodes’ fields and content can appear in the published output, including nested information from linked super-tagged items. There’s limited control over what’s shown: hiding fields is done via a “hide field condition” set to always, rather than context-specific hiding. For longer documents, users can instead publish only a specific section (like synthesis text) as a standalone page, with formatting options such as rendering the date as a quote.

Publish Page also handles rich media. Videos can be embedded by pasting a video into Tana, and images can be added both as inline content and as a draggable header image that becomes the page’s top banner and also appears in card previews. Overall, the launch positions Tana as a system for turning structured knowledge work—notes, reviews, and research—into readable, attractive web pages with minimal friction and clear sharing controls.
