Instant comments, instant loading, and full functionality on a bad connection.
Speed is not a feature you shop for, but it is the thing you notice when it is missing. Workflow is built so that almost nothing makes you wait.
Most of what you do in Workflow happens on your own device rather than on our servers, then syncs in the background. Projects, tasks and assets load instantly, filtering is immediate, and moving between sections does not stutter. Changes you make appear straight away and reach your team in real time.
Comments used to take a few hundred milliseconds between pressing send and appearing. That is now down to around a dozen milliseconds — effectively instant.
Workflow's initial load time came down from seven seconds to about 800 milliseconds, after we moved to a modern build. Accounts with a lot of tasks and assets used to slow down, especially on mobile, and that is much better now across every platform.
Tasks holding images, videos and Figma designs load roughly 300 milliseconds faster on average.
Because the work happens locally first, Workflow stays usable on a spotty connection and syncs when you are back.
