I was using the website in 90% because the size and spacing of everything didn't seem compact enough for me to see enough cards at the same time. I also make very heavy use of categories, so the added drag feature is greatly appreciated as well. Thank you! <3\n"}]}

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"}]}

JesusNP 7 months{"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. I can't find a way around it, and makes the brewer unusuable. - Please lmk if I'm doing something wrong and how to fix it, or if it's indeed a bug.\n\nThanks a lot!\n"}]}

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"}]}

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"}]}
