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 Wiki.js?

Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.

Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

Conceptboard vs Wiki.js: 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.

6.3

Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.

◆ Current state

Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

◆ Where it's heading

The v3 betas have moved from editor features (live notes, math, draft recovery) toward governance and machine access: personal access tokens in beta.672, then MCP and page lifecycle rules here. The project is building the controls an organization needs before trusting a wiki to AI clients and to long-lived content.

◆ Prediction

Expect more MCP tools and PAT scope options in the next betas, and lifecycle rules tied into notifications for review and expiry.
