Recent UI update

The recent update for the UI/UX is appalling, I think. It is hard to locate formatting tools. It’s not logical.

I did also want to provide the two resources below for a bit more information:

The fixed “toolbar” on the top actually makes more sense rather than the formatting tools kept on moving. It’s more cumbersome now to edit. It’s also a bit harder to add the templates. Before, it was more straight forward.

Hi ​@aeroles, thank you for those details! 

Just in case this helps, I did want to mention how you can access templates in the new editor. Navigate to Search shapes and tools and select Templates from the list. 

 

From there, you can scroll through the various templates within the left panel, or select Browse all templates at the bottom to see a pop-out menu with all template options. 

 

You can also still start with a template from the Lucid home page, if you select New > select Create from Template. I often like that method if there’s something specific I know I’ll be starting with from the beginning!

If you run into any trouble or have any specific questions, I’m happy to help!
