Board Navigation changes, based on Community feedback

Hello everyone! In recent weeks, we have received valuable feedback from users regarding the board switching experience in the latest version of Trello, which is currently being rolled out. We truly appreciate your insights, suggestions, and patience. We are excited to share some of the enhancements that we will be releasing in the next few weeks to address your feedback.

 

Ability To Pin Board Switcher

We’ve seen that for some users it is very important to retain a list of their boards, available without an extra click. To address this feedback we will be adding the ability for users to pin the board switcher as a panel that can be expanded/collapsed - so that you can continue switching between your boards in a familiar manner. Now you can search as well as quickly switch between boards that span different workspaces.

 

To switch from the current popover board switcher to the pinned version, click the board switcher button located in the button navigation. Then, click the … icon in the top right corner and select the pinned board switcher option.

List View In Board Switcher

While the majority of users love seeing their board represented as very visual tiles in the board switcher, we have heard from many users that they would prefer to see them more of traditional list. To address this feedback we will be adding the ability for users to toggle between our current tile view and a more traditional list view.

 

To switch to list view, click on the board switcher button in the button navigation and click the list/grid icon in the top right.

Other Improvements To Board Switcher

In addition to the improvements above, we will also be making some other small tweaks to the board switcher to help remove friction in the board switching process. This will include 1) switching to vertical scroll instead of horizontal scroll for the starred/recent sections, 2) giving users the ability to collapse the star/recent sections and 3) remembering which workspaces/sections you had expanded/collapsed.

Thank you Trello dev team ! I am really glad common sense prevailed and we now have this option. Really appreciate you hearing us on this and implementing an almost exact fix instead of some 50% hack. Great work.

These are some great changes. I have been getting used to the new board switcher and although I like it, I think these improvements are a welcome addition.

Thank you very much, @Alexandros Mathopoulos and the Trello team.
Sometimes complaining with reasons and arguments gets results.
There's still hope with Trello.
Well done.

Thanks @Alexandros Mathopoulos for these improvements heading in the right direction! 👏👏


However, there's still a major UX issue: accessing Calendar/Timeline views went from 1 click to 4 steps (b → workspace → scroll → click).


For teams using these views daily, this is a major regression. These features were pitched as game-changers but are now buried in menus.


Question: Are improvements planned to restore direct access to workspace views?

Glad to see positive changes being made based on user feedback! Are there going to be changes made to the cards themselves in reference to the previous set up being more user friendly with all of the card options being on the right hand side for easy one-click selections?

Great news! Thank you for taking action on this matter. 

When will these changes roll out to everyone? I don't see the two new buttons next to the board switcher search bar. I've refreshed and logged out/back in but nothing yet.

These changes are VERY appreciated. Thank you Trello developers!

One question: Does Trello remember our previous List View toggle choice or do we need to toggle every time we open the board switcher?
