What is Discoveries?
Discoveries is where Leanmote shows you every entity it automatically detected across your integrations (repos, boards, workflow statuses, external people, communication channels) so you can decide what to do with each one: accept it, map it to an internal user, or ignore it.
Think of it as your configuration inbox: anything new that shows up in GitHub / GitLab / Jira / Slack / Calendar and that Leanmote doesn't yet know how to interpret lands here, waiting for your decision.

Who can access it?
Only users with the Admin or Owner role. If your role isn't one of those, you won't see the link in the sidebar (and visiting the URL directly returns a 403).
How do I get there?
Left sidebar → Discoveries.
The red number next to the title in the menu is the total count of pending items that need your attention (the sum across all tabs).
The 5 tabs
Tab | What it contains |
People (default) | External people detected in commits, PRs, tasks, Slack messages, or Calendar meetings but not yet mapped to an internal user. |
Repositories | New repos detected in GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps. |
Boards | New boards detected in Jira or Azure Boards. |
Statuses | New workflow columns/statuses detected on the boards, with an automatic pre-classification (Backlog / Active / Waiting / Done). |
Channels | Newly discovered Slack channels. |
Each tab has its own red counter showing pending items.
State filters (the 3 buttons at the top left)
Filter | What it shows |
Pending | Decision pending — what needs your attention |
Ignored | Items you decided to ignore. They don't show up in metrics, but you can restore them. |
Mapped (in People) / Accepted (everywhere else) | Items already accepted or linked |

Toolbar filters
Filter | Available in | What it does |
All productivity tools | All tabs | Filter by integration (Slack, GitHub, Jira, etc.) |
All sources | People only | Filter by where the person showed up (commits, PRs, meetings, etc.) |
Search | All tabs | Free-text search across rows |
The "Discover" button
[screenshot: Discover button with tooltip "Auto-runs daily at 7:00 AM & 7:00 PM"]
Top right on every tab except People — people aren't "discovered" on their own; they surface automatically from the repos / boards / channels you've already accepted.
By default, automatic discoveries run every day at 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
If you need to check right now (e.g. you just connected a new integration and want to see what it finds), click Discover __ → pick the integration from the dropdown → a manual run fires.
The button shows "Loading…" until the extractor finishes. It can take 1-5 minutes depending on the provider.
Column sorting
Click any header with the ⇅ arrow to sort:
1st click → ascending (or descending for dates/numbers — the default depends on the data type)
2nd click → flips the direction
3rd click → clears the sort and returns to the system default
The active column turns blue and the arrow changes to ↑ or ↓.

Schedule
Daily auto-discovery: 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM
Slack — channel discovery: included in the automatic cycle + manual trigger via the Discover button
Backfill when accepting a repo/board: the first extraction pulls 1 month / 3 months / 6 months / 1 year, depending on what you choose
