Can anyone advise why I no longer see this toolbar in my LucidChart??

This UI change made me register to comment.

I can't for the life of me understand why you would make this drastic UI change. For the last couple minutes I've been trying to figure out how to adjust a iconset on a shape. What used to be 1 click, is now couple of clicks in a sidebar that pops out? Come on guys..

Thank you @Guido for your comment and honest feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to register and comment with your thoughts, and I am personally sharing your feedback directly with the team.

I’ve connected with our product team and want to share a few tips just in case they’re helpful:

Your most common controls now live in a mini bar right above your selected shape. The mini bar only shows controls relevant to what you've selected on the canvas, so you're not scanning past options that don't apply.
You can drag that bar anywhere on your canvas.
The side panel to the right of your canvas (under the Share button) has those same controls, plus more advanced options.

If you have any specific question about the new UI or are having trouble accessing any specific tools, please let me know and I’d be happy to help further.

Hate to pile on but I can’t even find where to add a shadow to a shape anymore. Time to go back to how things were before.
