I was working through layers on a document today and noticed the new UI for adding layers.  I now cannot easily rename my layers.  Once I add a new layer, I then have to right click and choose rename.
 

I am unable to double click on the layer to change the name.  This makes creating layers very cumbersome.  Further, I used to be able to rename and click on another new layer to continue adding layers quickly.  Now I have to highlight the label, rename, and hit enter to save before I can start a new layer.  Old design would do all of that and save the name I type automatically, and the “new layer” label would be highlighted waiting for me to type.

It’s not the end of the world but the previous UI works a lot better.  Can we at least enable the double click to rename option like we used to have?

Thank you for your post and feedback ​@JSzeto! You’re correct- now to rename a layer, you’ll navigate to the three dots and select Rename from the dropdown list as shown below.
