Introducing the Quip Collaboration Platform
Built for
the mobile, modern workforce, the Quip Collaboration Platform
includes:

be embedded directly into any Quip document. Live Apps bring all
relevant content for any project into a centralized document,

get work done. With Live Apps, teams are empowered to add features
including Salesforce records, kanban boards, partner-built apps and
more to any Quip live document, with a single click. Live Apps from
Salesforce introduced today include:

planning, the new Calendar Live App enables teams to quickly and
easily visualize, comment, track and collaborate on product
launches or events to create deep alignment.

Salesforce Record Live App, teams can view, edit and update
Salesforce records from right within Quip.
- Kanban Board (@kanban)—Great for project management
across industries, kanban boards enable users to visualize and
optimize workflow. With the Kanban Board Live App, teams—especially
engineering, manufacturing and sales—can stay organized with
interactive cards, columns and color-coding. Users can simply drag
and drop cards between columns to organize team work and keep
projects moving forward.

build their own custom Live Apps on the Quip Collaboration
Platform. Partner Live Apps that are already being developed
include:

software development tool, Jira, directly within any Quip document,
ensuring that conversations are always happening at the right
time.

documents directly into Quip, delivering fast, clear and visual
collaboration.

metrics and analytics about web and mobile apps directly within
Quip, enabling software teams to collaborate on the customer
experience, code, infrastructure and more.
- Workflow Templates—Pre-built Quip documents and
spreadsheets for specific industries, projects and team functions,
that enable teams to work together, faster. Each Workflow Template
contains the layout and Live Apps best suited for a task or
project, such as developing a product roadmap, preparing for a new
product launch, mapping out sales territories and more. Templates
in development include a Territory Planning Workflow Template for
sales managers, a Launch Plan Workflow Template for marketing teams
and a Product Roadmap Workflow Template for product managers.
In addition, Salesforce also introduced Salesforce Files Connect
