Version 0.5 is where Collabique stops being just a structured document workspace and starts becoming a mixed-content knowledge system. Version 0.4 made pages hierarchical, draft-aware, and AI-editable. Version 0.5 builds on that by making pages schema-aware, format-flexible, and much more capable of holding structured information alongside writing.
That is the real shift. A page is no longer only a rich text document, a chapter rollup, or a draftable node in a page tree. It can now also carry typed metadata through project-defined templates, and its revisions can store different body formats, most importantly sheets. This changes the product in a fundamental way. Collabique is no longer just organizing documents. It is starting to organize documents and data together.
The metadata system is a big part of that change. Projects can now define reusable metadata templates, and pages can inherit or attach to them. That means pages are not only described by title, body, and hierarchy anymore. They can also carry structured fields like references, dates, enums, numbers, booleans, and text. Just as importantly, that metadata becomes part of the page experience, not hidden configuration. It shows up in the page rail, it can link pages together explicitly, and it can be queried and reused across the workspace. The product starts to feel less like a set of pages and more like a connected information model.
Sheets are the second major leap. In earlier versions, Collabique had one main document world with different display modes layered on top. In 0.5, revisions themselves can now represent a sheet body format backed by JSON and rendered through a separate pipeline. That makes sheets a first-class page type, not a hack inside rich text. And these sheets are not passive grids. They can reference pages, pull metadata from them, compute values like summaries and word counts, and even populate themselves from parts of the page tree. That is a major expansion of the product’s ambition. Collabique starts to look not just like a writing workspace, but like a lightweight system for structured planning, tracking, and reporting.
The document pipeline also gets broader. Rich text pages can now embed other pages more directly, split into sibling documents through explicit breakpoints, and move through a more general processing layer. That makes authoring feel more modular and more intentional. Documents are no longer only edited as isolated units. They can be composed, forked, and connected in more deliberate ways.
AI editing matures in the same release. In 0.4, AI could propose changes inside a review flow. In 0.5, that proposal system becomes asynchronous and streamed. Instead of waiting for one completed result, the browser receives the proposal progressively, then drops into the same accept-or-reject review loop once the output is finished. That makes the editing workflow feel more like part of the product’s live system and less like a blocking helper bolted onto the side.
So the move from 0.4 to 0.5 is not just a feature expansion. It is a broader definition of what a page can be. In 0.4, Collabique treated pages as structured, draft-aware documents. In 0.5, it treats them as flexible knowledge objects that can combine writing, schema, references, and tabular structure inside the same workspace. If 0.4 said, “your work can be shaped here,” 0.5 says, “your knowledge can be modeled here.”
