Architect vs. User modes
Today we’re introducing a new way to keep Fibery calm and safe for everyday work: Architect vs. User modes. Admins and Architects can now switch between two modes:
- User mode: a cleaner, focused interface for daily work. Advanced controls are hidden: no accidental field edits, no surprise layout changes, fewer dangerous actions like Delete Relation Field in your face.
- Architect mode: the full power view for workspace design.
Architect mode can be toggled in two different ways:
Fastest way is just click Shift two times, like Shift + Shift. It’s a very easy shortcut to remember and use, and we really recommend to give it a try.- You can find a new icon on the top of the left sidebar and click it.
This change should make Fibery feel less cluttered for architects during routine work, while keeping all the powerful configuration tools just one toggle away.
Notes:
- On mobile, User mode is the default, so casual use stays simple.
- If you don’t have architect access in any space, you won’t see the switch at all.
This feature is still experimental, but enabled by default. If you hate it, please let us know and disable it in Settings → Experimental Lab.
Fibery AI updates
Quite many things were improved in Fibery AI in this release. You can still find (and try) Fibery AI in the left sidebar.
Search Tool for AI Agent (including Document)
We’ve improved how the AI Agent finds information in your workspace.
Previously, broad questions or anything involving document content could trigger very heavy queries: the agent fetched lots of entities, then loaded content for all of them before trying to answer. This was slow and inefficient, especially as more document views appeared.
Now the AI Agent has a dedicated search tool powered by Fibery Search. It can search across entities in all databases and Documents.
The agent will use this search tool when keyword-style search is enough. The result: faster, more focused answers, especially for questions that touch a lot of content.
Set context from a link
When user provides a link (i.e., Fibery), AI fails to understand what it is. Now it parses such things and includes entities into context.
Update Documents via AI
Now Fibery AI:Build can update documents, including full replacement of content, appending to existing content, renaming documents and moving documents to another Space
Create List View via AI
Previously, Fibery AI:Build was unable to manage list views. Now it can create, update, delete list views, group by relation fields, create filters and show/hide fields.
Claude Code + Fibery MCP
Now we support Claude Code in our remote Fibery MCP, too!
- Open up your terminal and run
claude mcp add --transport http fibery https://mcp-eu-svc.fibery.io/mcp - Then, start a Claude session, enter
/mcpand authenticate via browser
We also improved how MCP Client fetches schema with or without 1st level relation and encourage step-by-step discovering of schema instead.
Validation rules updates
Validation rules are getting better and better.
Access to User who made changes in validation rules
Now you can create validation rules based on a User who made changes. As a result, new validation rules use cases are possible now:
- Administrators can set permissions for specific fields or actions, restricting them to certain users or roles.
- A workflow system allows changes to be made by one user, reviewed by another, and approved by a third.
- Specific users or roles can be designated to perform state transitions, ensuring that only authorized personnel can make critical changes.
Few examples:
- Do not allow change fields for users in Mobile team:
[User who triggered Rule].Teams.Filter(Name = "Mobile Team").Count() = 1 - Do not allow change dates for assigned users, only manager can do it:
[User who triggered Rule] != [Step 1 Feature].Manager - Do now allow changes for users that are not in Manager role:
[User who triggered Rule].[User Role].Name != "Manager"(here we assume that User has a single select User Role)
Other validation rules improvements
- Admins will get notifications about broken validation rules now.
- Architects can setup validation rules now (in the past only Admins would be able to do it).
Improvements
- UI: Previously, action order in “More” menus of Views and Documents was inconsistent. The sidebar item and its panel menu showed the same actions in different order. We’ve fixed this — actions are now aligned and follow the same order in both menus.
- Whiteboard: The bottom toolbar has been updated with cleaner icons, better tool grouping, consistent buttons, and clearer selection.
- API: A method to get temporary public File Url added.
: We’ve purchased fibery.com domain for $10K. Still not sure why.
Fixed Bugs
- Documents / Rich Text:
- Fixed a case when select text and the context menu bar pops up, the right side of the menu bar is off-screen and there is no way to get to the options on the right
- Fixed a case when a user links to a header from another fibery item, it just directs this user to the document, not to the specific header within that document.
- Context menu is no longer partly hidden by pop-up
- Fixed a bug in Firefox: Oops error if press Cmd+Backspace while writing something in check item
- Fixed error Node.removeChild: The node to be removed is not a child of this node
- Fixed scroll to anchor
- Automation Rules: Fixed a case when enum values were not duplicated with rules/buttons
- Integrations
- HubSpot: Custom properties with fieldType: rich-text were synced as plain text
- Periods: Database page no longer fails with the Periods Database if you sync interval is 10 years
- Discourse: Not all posts were fetched
- Gallery View: Now we do not fetch all resized card covers at once
- Whiteboard:

- Comment Anchor on whiteboard fixed
- UI: Fixed a case when Fibery crashed when quickly navigating db page → app access page → db page
- Database Rename: Fixed a case when Board view gets broken on database rename when adding a second database sometimes
- Files: from-url upload no longer fails if it takes more than 60 seconds
- Validation rules:
- Fixed a case when validation rule and switching name to the formula did not work as expected
- Fixed validation rule error on importing data to the existed database even if there are no records updates, only new ones created
- Fixed truncated validation error messages on Board View/
P.S. Your feedback is welcome, as always! Especially about Shift + Shift shortcut.
