Spring is a time of improvements and polishing. Enjoy dozens of fixes and small improvements in this release.
Manage User Groups in one place
Fibery has a unique approach of re-using Databases for User Groups instead of introducing an isolated setting. This approach is great long-term, but first you have to figure it out 
which few people can without resorting to the user guide or support.
Today we are introducing proper User Group management to make it easier to start using groups as well as manage the existing ones. If you already have a Database with Teams, Roles, or Departments you can make it a User Group DB to share Spaces, Databases, and individual Entities. If you don’t yet have a relevant Database, you can create a new one.
Check out our user guide for details.
Filter by user role
To get a list of Admins, to count the number of Observers, or to display a Smart Folder with Guests, filter by User Role:
Comments Sidebar in Whiteboard
Now, you can access and manage comments from the right sidebar by clicking the comments button in the toolbar. Selecting a comment or thread will instantly takes you to its location on the board and expand the comment panel.
Improvements
Quite many improvements today here and there:
- Pricing:
- Five months after the announcement , restricting the login methods is, finally, a Pro/Enterprise feature now. Won’t affect you if you were a paid customer before Nov 1, 2024
- If you first decided to switch from a paid plan to Free but then changed your mind
, you can cancel the scheduled downgrade in the billing settings
- Five months after the announcement
- Sidebar:
- Views in + menu in the sidebar got collapsed into a single View menu item. There were just too many items in the menu, so now it easier to find what to add
- Drag and drop style that was added to sidebar was applied to reordering Rules, Buttons and Access Templates
- Users:
- You can now Invite users from the User DB’s screen, not just via settings
- You can now delete a User on any View via the usual context menu
- Integrations:
- Email: Radically reduce quantity of Contact name updates in email integration. It caused unnecessary load on integration syncs
- Zendesk: Brand field added into sync
- Table View:
- Styles on Table View were refreshed and streamlined
- Create entities with required fields on Table View inline, without a distracting popup
- Automations:
From today, if there is a field value defined in the automation action, it will override ‘default inheritance’. If nothing is defined (which is what 99% of automations do) the ‘default inheritance’ will continue to be applied 
Views:
Now you can display State unit as an Icon on all views. Click on Field in settings, and select Display as → Icon.
Removed features
We rarely sunset features, but sometimes we do. Automatic patterns finding & clusterization for Highlights was removed, since it’s quality was far from great and usage was very low. We decided to shutdown this feature for now and not spend time on improvements in near future.
