What is Conceptboard?

Conceptboard ships sparingly; Smart sections brings hierarchy and real accessibility to the canvas

Conceptboard ships infrequently, with long gaps between releases and mostly small canvas refinements. The latest and most substantive addition is Smart sections, which adds hierarchical organization to large boards with full keyboard navigation and screen-reader support. Earlier 2026 work was limited to cloud-storage integrations and minor copying and styling tweaks.

What is Document360?

Document360 rebuilds its public API and turns docs into an agent-readable surface.

Document360 ships a dated release every two to four weeks and the last six months have been dominated by two threads: making the knowledge base machine-consumable, and hardening enterprise access control. The AI thread runs from the March MCP server through publishing and workflow tools in June and per-reader-group AI restrictions this month; the access thread runs SCIM provisioning, multiple JWT configurations, and reader permission inheritance. This release adds a ground-up API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys.

Conceptboard vs Document360: editorial side-by-side

C2.5

Conceptboard ships sparingly; Smart sections brings hierarchy and real accessibility to the canvas

◆ Current state

Conceptboard ships infrequently, with long gaps between releases and mostly small canvas refinements. The latest and most substantive addition is Smart sections, which adds hierarchical organization to large boards with full keyboard navigation and screen-reader support. Earlier 2026 work was limited to cloud-storage integrations and minor copying and styling tweaks.

◆ Where it's heading

The pace is slow and the changes incremental, but accessibility is an emerging emphasis, with Smart sections leading on keyboard navigation and screen-reader descriptions for canvas content. Cloud integrations and visual customization round out the recent work. The direction reads as steady refinement of the existing whiteboard rather than expansion.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued low-frequency releases focused on canvas usability and accessibility, possibly with more board-organization and integration features. The sparse cadence makes a confident near-term call difficult.

D6.3

Document360 rebuilds its public API and turns docs into an agent-readable surface.

◆ Current state

Document360 ships a dated release every two to four weeks and the last six months have been dominated by two threads: making the knowledge base machine-consumable, and hardening enterprise access control. The AI thread runs from the March MCP server through publishing and workflow tools in June and per-reader-group AI restrictions this month; the access thread runs SCIM provisioning, multiple JWT configurations, and reader permission inheritance. This release adds a ground-up API v3 with OAuth 2.0 and scoped keys.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is being rebuilt around programmatic access rather than portal usage. MCP made the knowledge base writable by an assistant, llms.txt made it discoverable to crawlers, copy-as-Markdown and open-in-ChatGPT made articles portable, and API v3 now gives all of that a permission-aware substrate the old v1/v2 endpoints could not support. The same permission model is showing up on the reader side too — Eddy AI features are now gated per reader group — so authorization is becoming the shared spine across API, AI, and reader access.

◆ Prediction

Expect the advanced API v3 endpoints to keep expanding as a paid add-on and the MCP server to be re-plumbed onto v3's scoped-key model, since MCP currently sits outside the new authorization scheme. A v1/v2 deprecation notice is the other likely follow-up.
