Hi folks. Enjoy this modest release in our super turbulent times… Take care of yourself! 
Gantt View
Today we’re releasing Gantt View for Pro and Enterprise plans. Gantt View is a new old and familiar way to create plans. You can think of Gantt View as List View + Timeline View.
You may wonder how it is different from Timeline? Well, we wondered as well initially, but there are many differences and we decided to create a new View to handle them:
- Gantt View visualizes hierarchy much better, so you can see hierarchy like Product → Epics → Features → Tasks → …
- You can re-order entities vertically, it is handy when you want to control the order of execution better
- You can show/hide fields in the left hierarchy panel and on the main timeline panel
- Gantt view has no backlog, it shows all entities according to filters
- Planning usually much faster on Gantt, since you can quickly create new items and plan them on dates with a single click
- One lane is always occupied by one entity in Gantt View
Timeline View is still useful for visualizations of large amount of information, but in most cases Gantt View will handle planning better.
Limitations:
- It does not support unlimited self-relations. For example, if you have nested Tasks, only two levels of Tasks will be visible.
Check Gantt View User Guide and give us any feedback, we will polish it for ~2 more weeks based on your ideas (and it still has ~20 known open bugs, but maybe you will not notice them 
).
Fibery AI: Build mode (experimental)
Fibery AI got a new Build mode and refreshed UI (check the user gude)
In Build mode you can:
- Create, update or delete entities in batches
- Add, delete or update fields (including formulas)
- Create, update or delete spaces, databases and relations
- Create, update or delete table or board views
And mix all these things together in totally unexpected ways 
.
Fibery AI Build opens up really powerful scenarios (and I don’t say these words lightly). We ourselves just started to comprehend the enormous power of this tool… Some trivial things it can do:
- Create spaces for your process and add sample data to databases fast for demonstration or testing. For example, you can describe your process and ask to create a space for it, or just ask for something crazy like “We are 500 people company that uses SAFe (my condolences), ask me questions about our process and generate a solution for us”
- Merge two databases (video)
- Split a database (video)
- Move or copy a field from one database to another (and keep the content) (video)
- Convert text field to single select and keep all values
- Convert single select field to a database (video)
- Add new Tags database, add many-to-many relation between Tags and Content databases, create and set relevant Tags for all Content entities (video)
- Batch update entities based on some fuzzy or exact conditions, like “find all features without Product Area relation and set a relation to some product area that fits best” or “move not-completed tasks from Release 1 to Release 2” (video)
Limitations. Build mode does not support some things so far. For example:
- It can’t create/update Automations
- It can’t create/update Reports
- It can’t create/update Views like Gantt, Timeline, Feed, Form, List, or Map
- There is no easy undo. In general all schema changes and data deletions are reversible from Audit History, but data modifications will be hard to restore.
Build mode is experimental and only accessible to Admins. If you are an Admin, you can enable it in Settings → Experimental Lab.
This is a completely new way to operate on Fibery data, and we are eager to hear any use cases you tried and succeed (or failed) with. Don’t hesitate to experiment and share them 
.
Import data even if you are not a Creator
Previously, import has been reserved to Admins and Creators. Now, anyone who has the permission to create entities can import them as well, even a Submitter. Navigate to any Table View and select Import from… from the actions menu:
For non-Creators the import is naturally limited to existing Databases and Fields.
Import or sync Space from elsewhere
Bring the data from somewhere once (import) or regularly (sync) when creating a Space:
Previously, you could only do this via the template gallery (not the most obvious place), now it’s more discoverable.
Automatically merge existing duplicates before requiring unique values
You are tired of duplicate data, so you decide to utilize the brand new unique values functionality. You enable the toggle…and there are 205 existing duplicates found 
. Now you can merge them automatically given there is no conflict in the data:
We can always automatically merge rich-text Fields and to-many relations by combining the data. The rest of the Fields should have either identical or empty values—otherwise, we’ll ask you to resort to manual deduplication.
Check out our unique values user guide for the detailed example.
Whiteboard: Lock/Unlock section
You now have two flexible locking options to keep your designs safe and organized:
- Lock All – Locks both the section and all its content.
Prevent any changes to the section or its elements. Nothing can be moved, edited, or selected. - Lock Background Only – Locks just the section itself.
Keep the section in place while still allowing edits, additions, or removals of the elements inside.
Improvements
- Required fields: Forms and required fields got some unity. Fibery automatically adds all required fields to form on new Form Creation. It is not possible to remove required fields from Form View. If there are some public Forms for a database, Fibery shows a warning when marking fields as required, listing affected public forms
- Import & integrations: switching from a new suggested Field to an existing Field when mapping the source data to Fibery is now more discoverable
- Integrations: from now on we do not disable auto updates on rate limit error, and we introduced min delay in case of rate limit error.
- Navigation: Old Spaces section was completely eliminated and all spaces moved to the top level for all accounts
- FIbery AI Smart Agent: Semantic search tool added, so if you have AI search enabled in Fibery already, Smart Agent will use it to find things.
Deprecations
Chatbots were removed from Fibery. It was an early and not very successful attempt to create something useful with AI and agents, but Smart Agent completely replaces them, so use it instead. According our stats, chatbots got about 200 questions per months on all accounts, and it is not good enough to keep them as a separate feature.
Fixed Bugs
- Views: Missing scroll bar in Fields/Filter/Sort/Color when many databases selected
- Integrations: Integration connector is unreachable: I want to change URL to the connector but doesn’t have such option
- Dates: The date can be replaced with the wrong one when changing the year for some date formats.
- CSV import:
- Enum ordering gets changed after Importing new data
- Missed text for empty search result in ‘new relation’ list
- Merge entities:
- Can’t merge entities if merged entity has value in ‘require uniqueness’ field
- ‘0’ value is missed during merging entities
P.S. Your comments and ideas are welcome, as usual 
I certainly wish I could help more! Word of mouth is powerful and somewhat a product of chance but also… there are patterns, perhaps even some rules. Can you make Fibery AI sexier, be less humble about it?
