Changelog
New updates and improvements shipped in Superthread π
Mar 24, 2023
Features
- Views β we've overhauled the design of our Views feature to make it easier to filter across your workspace to create custom views of only the cards that you want to see.
- Filter on card status β for example, show me all the cards assigned to me that are not in βDoneβ.
- Create a View from a Board β when applying a filter to a board, you'll now see a 'Save' button which can be used to save the current filter as a new view.
- Favourite Views β add any view to the favourites section of you sidebar.
- New app theme β weβve update the default βlight modeβ theme throughout the app to better match our new website. This also lays the groundwork for an upcoming dark mode π
Improvements
- Card relationships β marking a card as blocked, or blocking just got a lot more useful:
- Filtering support β you can filter a board or view to show you all the cards that are βBlockedβ, βBlockingβ, 'Duplicates', or 'Related'.
- Activity feed β when a relationship between cards is created or updated, youβll now see a history of that in the cardβs activity feed.
- Real time syncing β teammates that are viewing the same card will now see card relationships update in real time.

Features
- Drafts for card comments β when writing a comment on a card, if you need to close the card to double check some information, you can now re-open it and pick up where you left off without your unfinished comment being lost.
- Child cards progress meter β when viewing a parent card, you can now see the total number of cards and a progress meter for them.
Improvements
- Sidebar drag and drop β we've been working hard behind the scenes to make dragging things up and down the sidebar feel a lot nicer. Hopefully you should be able to consistently drop things exactly where you intend to, every time.
- Real time syncing for spaces β making changes to the contents of a space will now also be synced in real time to other users. This includes renaming the space, changing its icon, and modifying the boards in it (such as adding boards, re-ordering boards, updating board names etc).
- In search results, spaces that match your search term will now display if you are a member of the space, or not.
- We've simplified our importing process to no longer allow Trello or Jira imports into private spaces. This means your teammates can easily find the cards they have been assigned to after the import finishes.
- We've tweaked the behaviour of the dropdown for choosing the status of a new list to make it easier to keyboard navigate.
- We've tweaked the colours and contrast of items in the sidebar, and added a new settings icon.

- When viewing a parent card, creating or archiving one of its child cards will now update in the small card in the board immediately.
- Members that have been removed from your workspace will no longer be displayed as a member of Space-ID 1.

- Links to untitled blank pages are now clickable again.
