Guide
Thread View is a View that shows Comments from a single Entity.
Thread View is an early experiment to explore how Fibery can enhance communications and replace chats in some use cases. Navigate to Settings β Experimental Lab and enable Thread Views. There is absolutely no guarantee we will keep this feature in production and improve it. We will collect your feedback and decide.
Here is a video that shows Thread View in action for our team daily updates.

Main (potential) benefits
With Thread View conversations live in Fibery, close to your real work and data:
You also have a full power of Fibery Rich Text field in threads, so you can mention entities, views, documents, add embeds, etc.
What is Thread View?
Thread View is a View that shows Comments from a single Entity. For example, it can show comments from specific Feature, or Account, or Channel. Just remember that every message in Thread View is a Comment, and you may invent some specific use cases.
The trick here is that you can access discussions really fast and focus just on discussions, since you can:
Create Thread View in any Space, organize them using folders in the sidebar.
Add Thread View into Favorites.
Find Thread View in search and jump into it.
How to create Thread View?
You have to turn on this Feature in your Experimental Lab (check out your Settings)
Thread View can be created in Space.
Click + near the Space name and select Thread View.
Select an entity for the Thread View.
Name your view.
Thread View will appear in the sidebar is marked with π¬ icon.
You can create a Thread either in the Default space or in a specific space.
Example:
You may want an HR Thread to discuss candidates. In this case, you can create it directly in the HR space.
Once created, the thread will be visible both within the HR space and in the main Thread view above all spaces.
To create a Thread (or a discussion channel) in a space, you must have Creator access to that space.
How to use Thread View?
Well, nothing fancy here, you just write comments. It is very similar to Slack.
Here are some tricks:
You can mention entities and views in comments, just use # shortcut.
You can jump to parent entity from Thread View breadcrumb.
Threads section in sidebar
All Thread Views are visible in Threads section in the sidebar. If you have unread comments, the thread name will be bold.
It is not possible to remove some threads from this section (so far), all you can do is delete a Thread View. You can only collapse Threads section.
What can become a Thread?
Entities from existing databases
You can create a thread linked to a specific entity. For example:
A feature to discuss in product development
A candidate in HR
An important customer (only a few, otherwise it becomes unscalable)
General discussion topics not tied to a specific entity
For topics like daily updates, announcements, or fun channels, you can create a dedicated database (e.g., called Channel) and treat each entity in that database as a thread source. Examples include:
Daily β for discussing what was done each day
Kickstarts β to announce upcoming initiatives that anyone can join
Memes β a place for teammates to share fun content
This approach allows flexibility: threads can be directly linked to entities for structured discussions or use a βChannelβ database for broader, topic-based conversations.
In any case they will be visible in the global Threads section.
Use Cases
Daily meetings / daily updates
At Fibery we have a process where every employee writes into #daily channel in Slack what she did yesterday and today's plan. We experimented with this process in Fibery via Thread View as well.
How to setup #daily channel?
First, you need an entity that you can link Thread View to. Create a new Space and call is somehow, like Threads. Create Channel database in this Space and create one channel named Daily. Add Comments field.
Create Thread View and select Daily channel as an entity.
Let your team know how to use it.
Here is the Daily Thread View in Fibery team.
How to use #daily channel?
Ask every person in your team to post updates into Daily Thread View and write about yesterday's tasks and today's plans. It is useful to reference exact tasks, since you will accumulate progress for the task in back-references section.
In a similar way you can create new channels to discuss other topics. Let's say, if you want to discuss marketing, create Marketing channel and then create Thread View for the Marketing entity.
Feature discussions
You may use Threads to have discussions around Features. You may just use usual comments as well, but Threads are more focused, so try to experiment with it.
Just create Thread View for some Feature you want to have conversations around and use it.
FAQ and Problems
I receive too many notifications about new comments, how can I turn them off?
Most likely you Watch an entity automatically when you add a comment. You may turn this rule off in Settings β Notifications.
If I delete a Thread, what happens to the data?
Nothing will be lost. All posts will remain visible as comments in the original entity that the thread was representing. Remember, a Thread is just another view - like a table, board, or gallery - not a separate storage for data.
Does the AI Agent have access to Threads?
Yes! The AI Agent can read and analyze thread content. You can ask it to:
Generate a smart report on what the team was working on this week based on comments in a daily thread
Summarize discussions about a specific feature
Or anything else you need insight on from the threads
Missing things and problems we know about
MISSING: Hide some Threads Views from Threads section, I want to choose what Threads to see here.
MISSING: No good mobile access.
PROBLEM: Not as fast as Slack, especially when you have many images and references.
