Nov 14, 2024
Features
- Slack channel notifications for boards – receive updates in your chosen Slack channel (e.g. #engineering) whenever there’s activity in a board. Get notified when a card is added, moved to ‘Done,’ or when someone comments on a card. To enable this, go to your board’s settings and set up Slack notifications.
Improvements
- Group project cards by Space – when viewing the ‘cards’ tab in a project, the layout options now support the option to group the cards by the space they belong to

- Improved date management for sprints – when manually changing the start and end dates for a sprint, the date selection process has been simplified
- In a new workspace we now create some statuses in the Roadmap board for you
Bug fixes

Nov 1, 2024
Improvements

- Table of contents – added a new option to show/hide the table of contents
- Removed settings for ‘Full page width’, ‘Font’, and ‘Large text’
- Pages shared to the web have been improved:
- Fullscreen media viewer is now supported on pages that are shared to the web
- Inline file attachments can now be viewed and downloaded on pages that are shared to the web
- Clicking on the sprint or project in the sidebar of a card will now navigate to the sprint/project
- Removed the ‘Cards with no sprints’ sidebar from Sprints because it was impacting performance and was not that useful
Bug fixes
- Added missing translations for Polish dates and date picker
- Fixed an issue with Google login not redirecting correctly
- Fixed an issue where the sprints homepage would show two ‘current’ sprints
- Fixed an issue where sprints would not always be visible in a space homepage
Oct 25, 2024
Improvements
- Improved navigation for lists of cards – the arrow buttons in the card header let you move to the next or previous card in the list. Before, if you changed the list a card was in (e.g. by changing its status or adding it to a sprint), the navigation arrows would shift to the new list. Now, the navigation remains consistent with the list where you originally began, making it easier to review cards in lists like ‘Backlog’ without losing your place
- Filter cards by ‘project’ – in boards and views you can now apply a filter to show cards that belong to specific projects
- More ways to mange cards in a project – when viewing a project, the cards associated with the project:
- Display the space and board they belong to

Oct 11, 2024
Features
- Sprints – sprints are time-boxed periods for a team to complete a pre-defined set of work. They’re commonly used by engineering teams but are popular with other teams too. When enabled, Superthread will create special boards for viewing the work in your current sprint, planning your next sprint, and keep a record of what you got done in past sprints. You can turn Sprints on by going to Settings > Spaces > Sprints for your chosen space – learn more
- Search for, & favourite team members – you can now search for people in your workspace using the Cmd + K global search. This will take you to the ‘My work’ page for that team member. Whilst viewing their page you can also favourite it
Improvements
- Project notifications in Inbox – subscribe to a project to receive notifications about it in your Superthread Inbox. This includes comments, being added as a assignee, or when a project is due soon or overdue. We plan to add Slack and email notifications soon
- Roadmap notifications – you can now subscribe to a specific status/column in the Roadmap board to be notified when a project is added or moved into it
- Filter by ‘parent card’ – you can now filter cards in a board or view based on which parent they have set

Projects live in your workspace Roadmap board and provide everybody a single source of truth for your companies priorities. Project cards are similar to epics or initiatives that you might be familiar with in other tools – learn more

- Tweaked incorrect padding around the items in the sidebar of a card
- Updated the link for viewing the ‘whats new’ changelog
Sep 6, 2024
Features
- Branch-specific GitHub automation – update the status of a card when a linked pull request changes from draft/open/merged/closed in a specific target branch. For example if a PR is merged to staging, you can move the card to In QA. However if a PR is merged to main, then move the card to Deployed. These automation rules can be configured per board, so head to a board’s settings page to get setup
Improvements

- New simplified and unified design for all card properties
- Removed property labels to create more horizontal space for long names and titles
- Reduced the vertical spacing between items to make room for properties in the future
- Removed the ‘Creator’ property which is now shown as the first entry in a card’s activity feed
- Card ‘owner’ property has been deprecated – we observed that this field was rarely used, largely redundant, and created ambiguity when we already have an assignee field
Bug fixes
- Failed payments now have a grace period before the plan is downgraded
- Group-by tags or assignee would not display any cards in a board
Aug 30, 2024
Features
- Create cards via email – create cards by sending or forwarding an email to a unique email address associated with a board. Cards will be created in the first status/column of the board. The email subject line will become the card title, the email body will become the card description, and any files will be added as attachments. You can turn this on via the settings page for each board
Improvements
- ‘Deleted’ notifications – you will now receive a notification when something you are subscribed to is deleted
- Workspace switcher – in the dropdown menu at the top of the sidebar you’ll now see a list of recently visited workspaces. This makes it easier to quickly switch between your most common workspaces
Bug fixes
- On mobile, the space homepage now displays the list of pages in a single column, not two
Aug 23, 2024
Features

- The workspace logo and settings dropdown have been slimmed down to reclaim vertical space and align them with the breadcrumb in the headings of cards/pages/boards
- The number of items in the ‘Getting started’ section in the sidebar has been reduced to focus on the most useful links and actions for users to discover
