The Big Picture: Redesigned Workspace

Fox 4.0 rebuilt the entire workspace around a new paradigm: every Version and Milestone is now its own independent view, switchable between List, Outline, and Board on the fly. The independent Board has been retired in favor of this unified, per-context approach — and a brand-new Outline view joins the lineup as a dense, spreadsheet-style way to work through issues.

View Modes

Every Version and Milestone now supports List, Outline, and Board view independently, and remembers its last-used mode across launches.

• A new unified toolbar layout across all modes and platforms.
• Replaced per-screen view controls with a centered, pinned view-mode picker in the toolbar (iOS + macOS)
• Added a matching “View As…” submenu under the View menu (iOS + macOS)
• Added keyboard shortcuts Control + Shift + 1, 2, or 3 to switch view modes (macOS + iOS)
• Consolidated filter controls into a single, mode-aware menu (iOS + macOS)
  • List and Outline: Scope by Open/Closed + Sort By Property + Ascending/Descending
  • Outline (on Versions): added Group by Milestone option

• Added Modify Issue Menu — a new consolidated per-issue action menu covering Bookmark, Type, Priority, Add Attachment, Status, Close, Tags, and Move (iOS + macOS)
  • Individual action toolbar items remain available via Customize Toolbar (macOS)
• On iPhone and compact split-view iPad: segment picker moves to the trailing navigation bar; Add, Filter, and Search move to the bottom toolbar’s trailing edge (iOS)
• Added a new search window, allowing search for access from any context (iOS)

A New Outline View

A new view mode available on every Version and Milestone — a dense, spreadsheet-style table of issues and their properties.

• Added resizable columns with widths persisted per layout (iOS + macOS)
• Added customizable column visibility via the Customize Columns sheet/menu (iOS + macOS)
• Available columns: Title, Status, Type, Priority, Milestone, Version, Assignee, Estimate, Resolution, Reference #, Bookmarked, Opened, Closed (iOS + macOS)

• Notes show attribution on shared projects — “Note added by [name]” (iOS + macOS)

• Fixed several bugs around moving Versions within the sidebar root (iOS + macOS)
• Added a dismissable “What’s New” banner in the workspace on update, previewing the headline new features (iOS + macOS)

Issue Detail Column
