⚡️ Mixed Formatting in New Outliner
-----------------------------------

The new outlining experience is finally here! You can select multiple formats on the same indent level, with tasks, notes, and paragraphs in the same block. We moved the 🔽 Fold / ▶️ Unfold button to the left, next to the Drag Icon (⋮⋮).  [Learn more](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/7661044595219).

⚡️ Natural Language Due Dates
-----------------------------

Taskade now supports Natural Language Processing (NLP) for task due dates. Simply add a task and start typing [/slash](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/5119502628627) 'Friday 8 am," and Taskade will automatically convert the natural language input to a due date. [Learn more](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/7525966494227--Taskade-Natural-Language-Guide).

You can also use natural language in the new Drag Icon (⋮⋮) menu. Click (⋮⋮) to the left of your task and type a date/time combination to see a due date suggestion based on your input. Hit Enter to confirm, and you're good to go!  🥳 [Learn more](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/7332744669075-Drag-Icon-Menu).

Press ⌨️ ⌘ + K (Mac) or CTRL + K (Windows) to open Quick Add and add tasks in seconds. [Learn more](https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/7332348536979--Quick-Add-Shortcut).
