While each release of Workbooks is built around a small set of key features, we know that smaller changes can also make a difference. The technique of "Continuous Improvement" is one we apply to the service. Continuous improvement implies a continual effort to improve things by making many incremental changes, each of which is evaluated and tested separately.

We've already blogged that the next release of Workbooks improves the way tabs are laid out on forms.

Today's example is that we're also changing the user interface for "watching" items so that it becomes more intuitive. In Workbooks, items which are "watched" by you and items which are assigned to you are shown in your "My" views - views such as "My People", "My Organisations", "My Cases" and so on.

What was previously a checkbox which could be lost within a form and whose location wasn't always consistent has now become a neat and obvious "Watch this" button complete with a star icon which toggles when it's clicked. Much better.
