Introducing YouTrack Lite

With YouTrack Lite any team member can choose to view and organize their tasks any way they want. Start with a minimalistic to-do list view of open issues, or use the table view of tasks where you choose which details to display so you can see who is doing what and when. Columns in the table can be removed, added, and repositioned in just two clicks. Use fullscreen mode on your issues list to avoid any distractions.

In YouTrack Lite all recent issues and articles are never far away with the recent items panel. Issues open in a quick-view pane that lets you easily review them without losing context. Save any of your issue filters and access them along with your drafts from the left-hand panel.

In YouTrack Lite you can use text styling options for issues and comments. Easily add headings, format text, create lists and tables, add checkboxes, and embed files – everything you need to make your work communications nice and clear. The same handy text editor used for Articles in the Knowledge base is available both in YouTrack Lite and in YouTrack Classic. And if that’s not enough, the option to switch to Markdown editing is also available.

Apply filters to the issues list to build a view of tasks you need to see. In YouTrack, you are able to see all the team tasks in one place or filter the list to view the relevant tasks from any angle. You can add any issue field and use it to filter the list.

Filtering works independently from the columns in the issue table, so the way the tasks are represented in the list is up to you, no matter what columns are displayed. You can filter issues with absolute precision while displaying only the details you need.

Search at any time, and use the powerful query mode just like you did in YouTrack Classic. For example, to filter issues created 1 day ago that match the word 'Lite' use the query: created: {minus 1d}..today 'Lite'

YouTrack Lite provides flexibility for any member of any team to organize their workspace, with options for simple or structured task representation to fit your needs and the ability to hide all unnecessary details.

Whenever you need to get into specifics of software development projects, YouTrack Classic is just one click away. Work with YouTrack Classic if you need to view advanced details, such as VCS changes, code reviews, and time tracking, or use keyboard-centric navigation and commands.

Switch between YouTrack Lite and YouTrack Classic at any time in the Appearance menu under your avatar.

In addition to options for importing your projects from other trackers, you can now migrate your knowledge base from Confluence to YouTrack to keep all your team’s assets in one place.

We’ve added Space to the list of available VCS integrations. YouTrack will fetch commits from Space and display them in corresponding issues. Once you’ve set up Space integration, you can use commands in Space commit messages to resolve issues in YouTrack and easily navigate to the commit page right from your issue.
