When I came to our company, I set up 3 departments, and continue to have those 3, 11 years later. Trello was a favorite part of the job for our employees; easy to see 'their' job, easy to read, easy to see at a glance. WE SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO USE EITHER THE VERTCAL OR SPLIT CARD SCREEN. Because Trello is being totally unyielding, we are looking for another option for a project management board, because it is now hard to navigate - see cards at a glance - see cards on small tablets or phones. It is no longer a viable HELP to our employees. Why not make both options available - why be so stubborn about this and lose long time customers? Not to do so makes no financial sense for the company. Who is at the helm?!!
@Alexandros Mathopoulos leve em consideração atentamente essa possibilidade de reverter ou tornar opcional as mudanças que vcs estão tentando implementar. O Trello ainda continua sendo o meu preferido, mas com essas alterações fica inviável, incomodou a comunidade e precisamos de correção urgentemente. Do contrário, teremos que mudar
It's been over a month since this "fix" was created yet my business members and I still do not have the three dots on the top right of the board switcher. This is actively interfering with our productivity and at this point we're debating on switching providers. Is there ANY update on why this option isn't available for everyone?
The new Trello interface feels unnecessarily complicated and cluttered. The older version was simple, clear, and easy to use — that’s why I chose Trello in the first place, but now considering going elsewhere. Please consider giving users the option to revert or simplify the UI. This update seems to favour internal consistency over real user experience.

When is this rolling out? This is literally one of the worst "updates" to an application I've ever seen. For the love of God, just let people switch to "Classic" view. Don't force your paying customers to use this junk. Who honestly thought the board switcher was more efficient now? Like how did that even make sense.
PLEASE give us back our old Trello like everyone else is asking for. This is so annoying and stupid.
@Janne Puhto , do you mean back-up feature? Trello has a Print/Export/Share option on the board menus (ellipses at the top right). User-level and available for free accounts. You can add TrelloExport as an extension in Chrome. This isn't really a Board Navigation change issue, though.
This update will be unusable for our team. We will need to have the workspace calendar back. We can't manage an overall workspace from a central place at all anymore. The update is bad. We need to be able to revert. We will abandon Trello soon for something else if this sticks.
Trello devs - while I do like this new interface, there's one huge missing component that used to be a part of my daily tasks - automation buttons! I can't find the automation buttons anywhere on card that I have set up. They were in the previous interface, but now they're 100% missing. I have 100% confirmed those button automations are still enabled and active. I can even see the automations in the automations view, but they're just not showing up on cards in the new interface. Did these somehow get overlooked in the redesign? Can they PLEASE be added back? Thanks!!
@Victor Dronov I feel that's a horrible design decision, considering I'm in UI/UX myself for a living and not even I could figure that out. Nothing against you personally, I just feel the devs could have designed that better, since before, buttons were just one click, now it's multiple clicks. Plus, it gets cut off at the bottom of my screen which makes it harder to notice and use.
@Tillis N James You should use @Gabriel Barbosa's github script, works pretty well to restore cards to the vertical orientation. easy enough to run. i also ran the script through chatGPT and can confirm it's not feeding data anywhere else so it should be safe to run. thanks for making this Gabriel!
unfortunately for me, i was under the impression this would give us back the side navigation which is my biggest issue with the update.
Trello devs, i hate to be "that guy" but please hurry up. If this doesn't get resolved within the next week or two i'm probably going to move our company to a different solution.
my post on page 2 has 12 likes and you've already gotten a good amount of mean comments. I suspect there are tons more that agree with it and just don't have the time to make an account or speak up.
I can assure you that the amount of frustration you've caused with this update is almost unfathomable. the amount of human time/capital you guys are wasting is also pretty egregious.
According to your website, in 2014 you guys had 1 million monthly active users. Assuming that number has stayed flat (which i doubt it has), let's say these additional clicks add 1.5 seconds per user & each user now has to do 5 additional clicks per day. (both of these are pretty lowball number imo)
1.5 seconds * 5 clicks = 7.5 seconds 7.5 seconds * 1 million users = 7.5M seconds or ~2083 collective human hours wasted per day on needless clicks.
(napkin math and frustrated don't mind me)
edit: if you are a user frustrated with the changes (especially if you are a paying user), i encourage you to please take the 2-5 minutes to sign up and post your displeasure. unfortunately many companies don't really act quickly unless it becomes somewhat of a PR nightmare or the issue threatens their bottom line somehow. they look at this and think "hey there's only like 5 pages of comments and not all of them are bad", so procrastinate on things (as humans tend to do). I know it doesn't feel like it will do much but if you don't translate your sense of urgency on the matter, atlassian won't care.
Dear all, I think it is by now apparent that we are essentially talking to ourselves.
Trello, if you are listening @Alexandros Mathopoulos , this would be a good time to reassure us that this is not the case and start communicating solutions to people's specific issues.
Otherwise, if Atlassian/Trello are not responding appropriately, and ignoring TONS of user feeedback, shouldn't we start warning the world about this product?
@Victor Dronov Hi Victor, responding to your reply on 7/15 re: full screen. Yes, my feedback is related to making the card full screen. I see what you mean - that when content is added, it gets pretty close. Consider, tho, the size of the card when working on a 13" screen - in this example, there is content already baked into this template that is designed to capture client and logistical timelines, and we have to scroll, scroll, scroll, to see it. Unable to see it at a glance. Those folks who are working on large monitors, split screens or two monitors to see multiple resources probably don't' have the same challenges as those of us who work in the field and rely on smaller devices to get through our assignments. Does this clear up my feedback? Thanks ~
The update is now live for me and you kinda made it even worse. The useless floating menu is now bigger and with more space taken by button that will never be used by me. How bad can you make something as simple as Trello? Is this some kind of challenge? Is there going to be paid option that reverts this to previous version?
@Sonia It does seem that the Atlassian folks are only responding to very specific inquiries/issues with the update. It does seem incredible that it is taking this long to provide some sort of reversion to the original layout.
The initial response to the feedback was to go to another of their products. I hesitate to move to another product, for fear we will be in the same spot, in another 5 years, when their development team determines to flip that application on its head.
I wait with baited breath for the ability to pin the boards to the left, again!
