Regarding the “my work” homepage, I like the idea. But ideally we customize this, so that the company determines what all users see here. So either:

• The admin can choose an existing view that is shown here
• The admin can change the filters / sorting etc of the “my work” widget

Agreed that we should be able to customize it. I think as I mentioned here that we Fibery should extend “Workspace | Personal” to home page as well.

• Workspace should be Architect defined.
• Personal can be widgets user’s want to add.

Exactly what we are going to do

My Work widget discussion

so far we have this solution in mind. It emulates Workspace | Personal switcher in the sidebar, so should be familiar. Admins will be able configure Workspace home page for all people A user will have no control over Workspace tab Home page (maybe only hide widgets) A user will have full control over Personal tab in Home page [Screenshot 2025-06-27 at 2.02.22 PM]

Let us decide wich view will be opened by default or remember last opened view please

The new home page is pretty cool! I hope it helps newer team members/contractors in my workspace although it doesn’t quite serve me just yet.
I think the current implementation of My Work is a great place to start. There can always be other widgets.

Plus, when you have multiple panels open, tabs will automatically split to show them side by side — making it easier to work with several things at once.

So far I really dislike this actually. Maybe it’s just the way that they are displayed and, in particular, that they both (two tabs, 1 “real” tab/view) have Close buttons, and using one of them only closes on pane when almost universally what I want to do is close BOTH panes of that single view. Is there a way to do that anymore like there used to be before the addition of this “split tab” thing?

I personally don’t mind it, but pretty much all of my colleagues have expressed some level of dislike for this “double tab” feature. They expect normal tab behavior as they find in browsers. They think of two panels as existing in one page and that the tab should be for the entire page. I wonder if it would be better if the tab just included the names of both panels, and there’s one “x” that closes the entire tab.

[Tommy_Hedley]

I personally quite like the double tab implementation, but I agree that it would be nice to be able to close an entire double tab at once. Would and additional whole tab ‘X’ be too cumbersome?

We’ve been thinking about this, but I’m planning to redesign the tabs a bit, so there might be a single close tab element instead of two for each panel. Thanks for the feedback!

[timothy]

Personally I really like being able to close tabs individually from the top. However, if there was another “X” that allowed me to close the entire tab, that might satisfy everyone? It would also increase productivity by reducing a click…

[daoud]

Additionally, I find it confusing there are only tabs for the two open panes even though the UI may also have a 3rd collapsed pane (assuming you’ve clicked through a pane to another pane and then a 3rd pane). So there are these dupe “tabs” for the two open, but not the collapsed pane (could be on the left or right)?

I’m curious what UX problem was meant to be solved by making tabs for panes rather than just leaving it how it was: close each pane at their upper right, close all panes by closing the tab?

[alex]

Have you ever used split view in the Edge browser or in Arc, or tab groups in Chrome? It’s the same idea here, to give the user visibility that there’s a split view within the tab. Some people find it useful, some don’t. Thanks for the feedback, we’ll think about how to improve it.
