I regularly get overwhelmed by the number of open Spaces and views on the left in Fibery. Therefore I prefer Spaces to have an automatic closing system when you open another Space.

I would want to be specify something like “No more than (two) Spaces open”, so when I open a third Space, the most recent one also stays open, but previously opened Spaces are closed. I.e. “Maximum number of simultaneously open Spaces”

Why 2 spaces open? As far as I know ‘close one when you open a new one’ is more or less ‘standard UX’ in menu views. Can image that my clients can’t understand it when two spaces are open :sweat_smile: Because the logic is then less obvious.

I often am bopping back and forth between a couple views in different Spaces.

Yes I’m doing the same myself but UX wise I don’t know if it’s wise. Do you know an application that keeps only 2 parts open?

Such automatic things may confuse people. What if you want to keep 2-3 spaces open to quickly get back after some side task? People are different and here the desired behavior can be different as well for various people. Maybe some personal setting in future can be added though.

Just found out that ClickUp’s newest design pretty sums up what I meant in the above post :sweat_smile: [image]
