UX Improvements on left side navigation

Hello! The left side nav is quite difficult to navigate as my page count is growing, and here’s my challenges/wishlist:

  • Competes with the list of elements on the active page, and the hover can be finecky. It’s happened that I’d try to expand the view of my pages, but moved a component on a page instead, which gets frustrating.

  • Give me basic filters to only see live pages vs. drafts AND a count of how many pages are live would be dope (and fairly simple to build, I assume!). A nice-to-have would also be a button to expand all folders / collapse all folders.

  • The way folders work is not intuitive: the fact that I can only move a page from one folder to the other is by: Finding the page > Click on the page > Go to settings > Change the name of the root is not great, and I wish I could simply drag and drop.

  • I also wish I could make subfolders (nothing crazy, just one level) and tag pages with my own statuses to make it easier to see at a glance where I’m at, e.g. Live, WIP, Abandoned, Improvements needed. Would help since I now have a LOT of pages, some of which I consider archived.

    We’ve shipped

    1. Separation of pages panel and layers panel

    2. More intuitive folders creation, naming, deletion

    3. Ability to sort and group pages

    Hopefully this helps your workflows! I’m going to close this ticket out for now, but if you wanted to create any followups around - 1 more tier for folders or the button to expand or collapse all folders, please feel free to make a post with more requests!!

    These are all great ideas! We have some updates coming to that panel in the next set of upcoming work. Keep an eye out.
