Imported ERD tables don't appear on the sidebar of the new lucidchart editor?

I can’t find any updated help or documentation about where the imported table list should appear on the new editor.  The Entity Relationship section on the Document Tools sidebar just shows the default 4 entity types.

Switching back to classic editor and the imported entities list appears in the “ERD Import” section at the bottom of the Shapes sidebar like it always has.

Hi ​@ek1! Thanks for flagging this. The new editor is still in beta, and you're correct that it doesn't yet surface imported table/entity lists the way the "ERD Import" section does in the classic Lucidchart. My team is actively working to bring ERD functionality over fully within the next couple of weeks, and we're rolling out improvements on an ongoing basis.

In the meantime, our recommendation is to switch back to the classic editor when you need to work with imported ERD entities. That'll get you the full "ERD Import" experience you're used to without interruption.

We'll follow up here once ERD support lands in the new editor. Thanks for your patience as we continue building this out, and sorry about the inconvenience! Please keep the feedback coming. It genuinely helps us prioritize 😃
