It didn't really go anywhere, we just took most of the controls off by default since it was looking like a photoshop toolbar and was too difficult for new users to find things.\n\nTake a look at the first screenshot from the post above and you can see how you can add back the controls to recreate the sidebar.\n"}]}

21 days{"ops":[{"insert":"Just to clarify, are you talking about the fact that the global toolbar is no longer pinned to the top?\n\nThis change was made so that users with smaller screens would have more space while working on decks. Adding back an option is possible, but would be pretty annoying to have to maintain since everything would need to shift that far down in a handful of different places. For now, I'm going to leave it as is, but if more people express interest in their being an option, I'm not 100% opposed to the idea.\n\nAs for adding cards, if you're referring to the card search button no longer being pinned, you can still access card search from anywhere using the keybind Ctrl (or Cmd on a mac) + Enter. Doing so will open card search.\n"}]}

Having to scroll the entire page up to open or close it is inconvenient, and I can't see any particular reason that the primary feature would be moved from pride of place.\n\nOh, and while it's nothing to do with this update itself, it'd be great to be able to trim the search down to 1 column, rather than 2 columns that just get really small. \n"}]}

The main reason we felt like we could do that was because the search is more quickly opened via the keybind of Ctrl + enter. \n\nRegardless, I'll just add it back. If it helps legacy users keep their workflow, I'm over the bloat. Should be live in a few minutes.\n"}]}

20 days{"ops":[{"insert":"That's an odd one. \n\nOkay, so digging into this a bit, a lot of the categories in that deck have a bunch of forwarding spaces in the category names. That is to say, the category name starts with a space. This messes with the alphebetization of the category names and is likely the cause of the discrepancy. \n\nWe did change the way categories were ordered by default. Rather than ordering down then across, it orders across then down. This has a few large benefits to the older layout and they're listed above. Though obviously they come with the tradeoff of being different to what it was. \n\nI suspect that editing the category names from the deck settings will fix the discrepancy. If you don't care for the new layout, that's one of the major reasons we added draggable categories, so hopefully that'll help streamline any changes. \n\nIf when you remove the forwarding spaces it's still in an odd order, feel free to ping me and I can take another peek. \n\nHope this helps! \n"}]}

JesusNP 20 days{"ops":[{"insert":"Heyo!\n\nLoving these changes in general. However I'm having a super annoying bug: I activated the 'dissable margins' option to give it a try, and it resulted in the upper tool bar completely dissapearing, and since that's where the 'View as' sectjion that host the dissable margins option is, there's no way for me to uncheck the dissable margins option.

Follow those steps through, it should log you out and refresh the page. \n\nOnce done, lot back in and you should be g2g. \n\nIf not let me know, and we can sit a bit deeper to figure out what's going on. \n"}]}
