Hi @Richard_Lloyd-Robert

Thanks for providing feedback on this - have informed the team working on the redesign.

@Richard_Lloyd-Robert Can you share what you are trying to do in the editor? Are you continuously switching between different sections and blocks?

Two things worth calling out:

• If you widen your browser window to be more than 1600px, you’ll get the old 2-sidebars-at-a-time layout
• If you don’t have enough space to widen it and only see stacked panels, you can resize the height of the bottom panel by vertically dragging the space between the two

I am switching between laptop and desktop. I see this in the bigger screen but most of the time I am on a 13 inch laptop. Scrolling up and down is just slower. I am sure I will get used to it but its not optimum.

What would be really nice would be to make it customizable so we can select where stuff sits. Like a drag and drop in adobe photo shop;

Where’s the “Me, too” button on the forum?

Jumping in to say I also find this change less than useful. Easy enough to say “make your window wider”, but I keep my window narrow because my eyes have trouble tacking across wider windows. It’s annoying to have to resize my windows because someone made a design change that hides things I want to see.
