Simplified Home Screen & Sidebar Updates

We redesigned the home screen to make it easier to distinguish from the Group Overview screen. The Home Screen is now a simple screen where you can post important links & files that are relevant to everyone in the workspace. We also moved key screens like the Roadmap to the left sidebar where they are easier to access.

Enhancements

  • You can now view the members of a base or group by clicking the members count in the Home Screen or Group Overview
  • You can now view the contents of an archived group without first unarchiving it.
  • Moved Groups, Roadmap, Wiki, and Settings to the left sidebar and removed the tab bar from the Home Screen
  • Combined Groups and Roles into a single screen called “Groups & Roles”
  • Renamed “Wiki” to “Tags” to make their role in the workspace more clear
  • Renamed “Wiki Topic” to “Tag”
  • Renamed “Notes” to “Docs” to make it more clear how they should be used in relationship with projects and tasks
  • Renamed "Cycles" to "Sprints" to make it more clear how they should be used. Sprints are a more understood term than Cycles.
  • Updated the order of items in the left sidebar
  • When viewing a task in peek view, we updated the color of the transparent scrim behind the task in order to more clearly separate it from the background.
  • When the length of a task or project property exceeds one line, the value is truncated instead of extending to two lines
  • When creating a new task in the Tasks screen of a group, that group is selected by default
  • You can now add a task directly to a cycle when creating it in the New Task modal
  • Updated the header bar when viewing a task in the peek view
  • The Weekly no longer contains a heading block at the top with the name of the week
