Updates and improvements shipped in Superthread throughout the first half of 2023 🚀

Aug 25, 2023

Features

  • Space homepage redesign – we’ve refreshed the way boards and pages are displayed in the space homepage:

    • View boards or pages side by side with the new ‘2 column’ layout option.

    • Boards previews are now more compact so that you can see more cards at once.

    • Pages now display their custom icon and any subpages (if present).

    • Favourite or copy a link to a board or page directly from the space homepage.

  • Comment threads – click the reply button on a comment to create a thread. Threads let you discuss a topic in more detail without cluttering a card or generating excessive notifications. Only people participating in the thread will be notified of replies to it. This includes the person that posted the original comment, people who replied to it, and anybody @mentioned in it.

  • Sort cards in a Board – you can now sort the cards in a board by due date, created date, or last updated timestamps.

Improvements

  • Move cards – you can now move cards to another board by selecting the ‘Move to board’ option from the 3 dot menu on a card (don’t worry, drag and drop still works too).

    • Add tags whilst creating a card.
