November 20, 2025 / 🧑‍🎨 Gallery view, Open and preview files, Fibery AI: Build v2.0

Get some :fire: from our team to warm you up in this cold and rainy November.

:artist: Gallery View

Long-awaited Gallery View is live today :face_holding_back_tears:! Now you can better visualize entities with media files, like Employees, Books, Inventory, Products and create team directories, mood boards, company libraries, product catalogs, inventories boards.

Gallery View can show several databases at once, it supports files upload, drag and drop, batch actions, filters, sorting and color coding.

You can group cards by horizontal lanes, set different card sizes and toggle fill cover setting for better look.

Try it in the wild and let us know if you miss anything. Also it would be cool to see your galleries, do not hesitate to share them!

:rainbow: Open and preview files

No more unexpected files downloads and new tabs! Now you can open and preview some files in a light-box without downloading them (images, mp4 videos, PDF, text and photoshop files). Thumbnails for uploaded files are also generated where possible (including PDF and video).

We’ve also added Copy files URL action to … menu for a file. Now we are working on a new Files unit that will look better and be more customizable. Stay tuned!

:axe: Fibery AI: Build v2.0

Where to start… We released Fibery AI: Build mode a few months ago and relatively many people used it to build workspaces, handle data, create views, etc. However, there were many problems with it, including slowness, nasty errors that can break workspace, and lack of scalability.

We decided to re-write it from scratch and implement multi-agents architecture. Today we’re releasing this new fresh and shiny version. Here are the main differences that you will notice:

  • It works 2-3x times faster
  • It makes no stupid mistakes

List of sub-agents that can do (or not do) things:

  • Query Agent: Query data from Fibery, including rich text fields content
  • Schema Agent: Create and update spaces, databases, fields, formulas, relations
  • Data Agent: create and modify entities
  • View Agent: create and modify views
  • Automation Agent: create and modify rules and buttons (not as polished as other agents so far)
  • Guide Agent: Product guidance, best practices

Multi-agents approach provides scalability and we will add more sub-agents in near future (Report agent, Whiteboard agent, etc)

We also removed AI models selector, since under the hood different agents use different models and model selector does not make any sense now. Check this video with some progressive process of a new space creation.

Fibery AI: Build is still only accessible by Admins. Please try it and tell us how it works (or doesn’t work) on your use cases! :face_holding_back_tears:

:person_in_lotus_position: New Report screen simplification

Report creation screen is simplified. We’ve removed all data sources except Fibery, since they were astonishingly unpopular (less than 80 reports were created). We also removed pre-generated samples since they were rarely useful. Now the new report screen is clean (and fast).

:old_man: Batch migrate legacy public links

Recently, we introduced a new customizable way of sharing entities to web using access templates.

The old sharer-dependent public links will continue to work unaffected until the end of April 2026. Then we’ll unceremoniously migrate them to the new mechanism using the safest (and least powerful) Viewer template — read more in our transition guide.

If you’d rather migrate the old links in a controllable manner by choosing (or even creating) an access template and previewing the result, navigate to SettingsPublic Sharing and click some buttons:

If you have any questions on the migration, don’t hesitate to reach out.

:butterfly: Improvements

  • Whiteboard:
    • You can now show avatars on user cards in the Whiteboard, making it easy to recognize teammates or create organizational charts.
    • The Icon Field is now available in the Fields menu, so you can easily show your entities with their emojis on the Whiteboard.
  • Public sharing:
  • Feed View: quick search added to Feed View. It searches in all visible fields and in the first 2000 characters of rich text field

:shrimp: Fixed Bugs

  • Mobile:
    • Additional ‘close’ button is shown on Invite Users screen
    • It’s impossible to mention entity in rich-text because search popup is cut
  • Whiteboard:
    • Text objects on a whiteboard are trimming the white spaces when you double click them.
    • Fit to screen incorrectly calculates margins
    • Firefox: when inputting text, it shifts to the second line
    • Export PNG in Whiteboard is a merely a screenshot and cuts off diagram outside of the browser window.
  • Form View: issue with basic text field paragraphs
  • Documents / Rich Text:
    • Image fails to be uploaded to the rich-text/document in the specific cases
    • Context menu for the text table in inline comment has incorrect z-index
  • Intercom Integration: Missing text in messages with images
  • Permissions: Automatic author access doesn’t get enabled if it was enabled in Space Template when you import it to some workspace
  • Reports:
    • Context Reports show “Report owner is inactive” error when report creator lacks access to related databases
    • Reports: Aggregations reset when Duplicating report or tab
  • Import: Files missing on importing data from integration source
  • Table View: cell focus issue when sorting is applied
  • Board View: layout issue with ‘new row’ input if there is no columns on view
  • Hierarchical List: Hide “No parent”/“No enum value” group if parent relation/drop-down is required and the group is always empty

Holy shit, feels like the dawn of a new era. You could call this Fibery 3.0 :smiley:

I feel like they need some more UI polishing. Right now they feel incredibly disproportionate and dominate all the other content on the card

This is just the first approach to display the field; we’ll improve it.

Great update!!! Looking forward to check everything tonight!

One question:

Thumbnails for uploaded files are also generated where possible (including PDF and video).

Are these pre-generated thumbnails also accessible from the scripting environment (for generating PDFs)?

There’s so much in today’s release that I’m excited for!

  • I’m excited to dig up from the recesses of my mind reconsider the opportunities for gallery views in my own space.
  • File preview is actually a feature that will shift my perspective on uploading directly to Fibery (which i generally avoid). It’s worth it now for smaller media assets.
  • Fibery’s multi agents are an exciting opportunity. I have been looking to adopt Fibery AI more and can’t wait to see if results on batches of data are better. Quick UX question, is it intentional that the usage meter shows in the navigation sidebar at all times? That seems like something that should be part of the AI dialog and not distracting from the regular browsing experience.

This one is a pretty surprising blow, since I think that this is a major competitive advantage. That said, was there an opportunity to share why usage was low? I get it, it’s your app. But there are a number of design decisions I’ve wanted to adopt when building my own workspace but had to abandon because at that time, Fibery couldn’t meet the full need of the use case. IMO external data sources only make sense now that we have dashboards. But I don’t have the time to reimagine and rebuild so I’ve put that on the horizon. Just my 2 cents, but sunsetting existing functionality due to low usage should also require insights on why usage was low.

I dont get it….

Looks promising, but i think the gallery view misses the point, similar to how dasboard still misses it.

Both gallery view and dashboartd view must be available as field views,
why are both limited to left sidebar?

The whole point for me is to make both new view types available inside an entity view. That is where work happens for users.

It will be added in the next release (Gallery View as Relation view)

I definitely agree with this. So happy about the file preview change! These changes make me a lot more willing to upload more files directly into Fibery.

We are not done here. New Files units will make it way better, and we will also add previews into Rich Text field files.

Lovely update!! Only thing I’m missing is showing the File name in the lightbox so I know which file I’m looking at.

Also out of curiosity, was it considered to use the two-panel navigation to open files instead of a lightbox? This would allow to maintain context, make edits to entity, write notes, as you have the file open. This might not be relevant when the new Files Unit in entity view is released for a to-one file. then the entity itself acts like the file, so to speak.

Follow up:
Will it be possible to drag and drop files directly into a gallery view to make new entities/attach files to entities?

Awesome release. Looking forward to check new things, especially on AI & gallery sides.

I’m also surprised to see this functionality being removed. Maybe it’s not popular. But is for example data migration or data analysis in general are frequiently used features? I doubt that. But at the same time it’s painful to miss them when they are needed.

Agree

Yes, please! Make it open on the side panel instead! It would make it easier to double-check information!!:folded_hands:

So far we will not go for separate panel for files, Lighbox just don’t work like that

I love the preview! Amazing! But, for me, Lightbox is a step back. I have to close the file to be able to copy or check what I have in the Entity. When you have to do that a lot of times, your eyes lose where you were all the time, and you lose a lot of time.… I can live with it, but it would be nice :wink:

Note that you have actions in lightbox as well

P.S. Nice book BTW

I LOVE gallery view – amazing work there, and fills a much needed gap in some of our data views!

I too am looking forward to this similarly being applied to File Fields on individual entities, but so excited to play with the gallery view in the mean time

Completely agree

Maybe people just haven’t found a use-case yet, or were waiting for better integrations? We can’t know why people do not use something
