The “new” Trello is coming soon to everyone! 🎉

MY CARDS

Please keep the "my cards" section!! This is such a useful feature and widget to be productive while jumping between boards and projects. Please keep this!!! Quick search is not a comparable alternative.

I'm excited for the update, just hoping to keep the best of the current features!!

[Sarah Ecklund]

Please give the option to go back!! Yet AGAIN this did not take neurodivergent users into account. Was this tested with a variety of people? The UI is NOT friendly. Too many clicks, too many buttons, too much text in one place. The fully vertical interface is much better. Why do we need to click and click and click to find something that was OBVIOUSLY VISIBLE previously?

[Giorgos Evagelou]

@Victor Dronov I would love to see the Boards list to open like Inbox and Planner instead of pop up window. Why do we need to make an extra click to change board? We love Trello because of the simplicity! And we don't want to move to Jira...

[Michael Stephenson]

@Victor Dronov .. it doesn't matter if it's one person with 3 boards or a team with 50 boards. The new board switcher is poorly thought out, both from a UI and UX perspective. The placement and execution have made it harder to use.

[Priscila Rafael]

Posso optar por não usar a nova versão com a minha equipe? Novos usuários também podem optar por não usar? 

[Carla Paixão]

Prezados,

Seria de grande utilidade se os cartões pudessem ser visualizados em tela cheia, permitindo uma análise mais ampla e confortável das informações, especialmente em cartões com conteúdos mais extensos, como atas de audiência, resumos de processos ou orientações detalhadas.

A visualização em tela cheia facilitaria a leitura, a organização dos dados e o acompanhamento das tarefas, tornando o uso da ferramenta ainda mais eficiente para nossa equipe.

I just want to point out one thing that sucks:

I'd always hoped card automation buttons would make their way to the front of the cards so I could invoke them without opening the cards.  Now, not only do they require clicking the card to open it, but they're hidden further behind a submenu.  So instead of 1 click for the automation, we have 3.

A suggestion: Implement a way for users to pick and choose which aspects of the card are "streamlined" (read: obfuscated) away from view.  Perhaps this could be done at an account preferences level and a board preferences level.

[Tomislav Resetar]

Hi, please keep our Board menu's on the LEFT where it currently is! This new menu is awful. Please LEAVE us with board menu on the left PLEASE!! Or at least give us the option to choose from new and old. 

[Ralf Schelwies]

In the new UI your PowerUp "Card Repeater" doesn't work for new cards anymore!

In existing repeating cards I see the entry right of the due date, but for new cards I see no possibility to make it repeating.

Actually there is just no Power-Up section. Are Power-Ups omitted for the free version?

[Olufunke Femi-Ojo]

We completely share the concerns expressed here.

Some of the proposed Beta changes are promising but overall, they - and the loss of the left-hand navigation panel and loss of easy access to dozens of our custom Work Table views - are going to be very problematic for our organisation.

Please don’t do this, as the proposed Beta workflow is much more complex and not at all intuitive (degradation of this feature and not an improvement)! 

If you are unable to action this feedback and the removal of the left hand panel does go ahead in Beta, please can you at least make it OPTIONAL so that users can switch it off and continue using the insofar set up. 

If this is not possible, we may have no option but to consider leaving Trello (after 8+ years).

We're looking for an honest answer from the Trello team to a frequently asked and important question.

Is it so complicated to make the Trello interface configurable?

So that users can decide:

• Whether or not to display the left panel of boards (and custom board views) that we used to have.
• Whether or not to display the new floating menu (which is above the bottom scroll bar...)
• Whether or not to keep the board activity panel visible and pinned.
• Whether or not to keep the automation buttons on the back of the card visible and pinned, as we used to have (so we don't have to scroll down and click to see them). Is there a shortcut key?
• What shortcuts are visible below the card name on the back of the same one, which are now repeated in the +Add menu (which, by the way, has two shortcut keys for adding members: "a" and "m") instead of a View or Edit menu (which also includes the sort option), as is already possible with custom fields (at least in a basic way).
• The scale of the desktop app interface.

And much more...

Thanks

Hello ? @Erika Storli  ... anyone at Atlassian? Are you hearing us about the board switcher ?

[Victor Dronov]

Hi @ACE , @Michael Stephenson, @Olufunke Femi-Ojo 

> Are you hearing us about the board switcher ?

We do hear you, and I'll try to give some answers. 

> Is it so complicated to make the Trello interface configurable?

Yes, it is complicated. Trello interface will not be configurable to the degree you are proposing in the observable future.

> If this is not possible, we may have no option but to consider leaving Trello (after 8+ years)

It is heart breaking for many people on our team, myself included. But your choice is respected. We are changing Trello to become an entirely different product, and hopefully one day you can enjoy it in this new - individual productivity and to-do management - capacity. Most of the changes mentioned here as unwelcome are helpful in context of working with a large team across multiple boards, but they are needed to implement a flow to capture new to-dos, organize them and protect individual's time to get it done.

I really recommend you to give Jira a try for team collaboration and project management use cases, especially if you never tried it in the last year or two. It is much better and friendlier product that you may remember from the past experiences.

All that said, the new board switcher navigation is by no means perfect and we are taking notes from all the feedback shared here to evolve this to a more streamlined experience.

Hi My Trello has updated and I have been checking out the new Beta version, I have since turned it off using the Beta button but my colleague doesn't have the same Beta button, can you advise if there is any way to switch her back to the original view? 

[Sarah Ecklund]

@Victor Dronov  What we're hearing is this: because you are making changes no one asked for and everyone is pushing back on, you're saying that instead of reverting these updates, you want us all to move to a different product? Explain to us how that's user- and client-centered?

But also to go back to @ACE 's question and your reply, you've given us the Beta button to switch one way.... so you can't configure that same button to switch back and forth for everyone? Even if you can't make it configurable point by point, if you can make this button to do one thing, have it do the opposite and keep it there!

> Is it so complicated to make the Trello interface configurable?

Yes, it is complicated. Trello interface will not be configurable to the degree you are proposing in the observable future.

[Eric Ferrer]

I’d really like to use Trello’s new back-card interface, with the updated layout where comments appear on the right side, etc. I was able to use it just for a few hours, but then everything reverted to the old version.

What can I do to get the new card design back?

[Michael Stephenson]

@Victor Dronov 
"but they are needed to implement a flow to capture new to-dos, organize them and protect individual's time to get it done."
... I mean .. that isn't ojectively true. It is simply that the team decided that's where they wanted to put the new switcher and make it look fancier and less functional. The Planner and Inbox would still work perfectly fine if the board list remained on the left where everyone seems to want to keep it.

No-one has an issue with the Planner or Inbox, just the Switcher. So the team got 2/3 thirds of it right. We are simply letting you know the last third needs a rethink.

"I really recommend you to give Jira a try for team collaboration and project management use cases, especially if you never tried it in the last year or two. "
Yes, let's just move the entire organistion over to an entirely new system overnight. We have processes in place and a functional system built around Trello. We are simply asking you to NOT do one thing ... move the Switcher .... besides .. the new Switcher experience is just as bad if you are one person or 50.

[Damian Terebun]

Two issues with the new design:
- why cards view is so small? I cannot see most of the content, I need to scroll and my cards are usualy very short, so it seems like a terrible change.
- why is Trello so slow now?? I can't compare with the memory usage from the past, but it seems like now it's just eating it like crazy... Trello was never freezing for me before and now it is lagging a lot...

[Alvaro Pabon]

Hi, this new version is BAD! please keep our Board menu's on the LEFT!!!

Please LEAVE us with board menu on the left PLEASE!! Or at least give us the option to choose from new and old. 

[Angus McKinnon]

Oof. Not a fan of the new look.

1. Is there a way to turn off that floating bar at the bottom?

2. Is there a way to restore the vertical view where I could easily scroll and see everything vs the new side by side view with comments on the right?
