You can now try out the features in your accounts!

Awesome news! Can't wait to give the new features a try in the morning. 

I am the odd one that does not mind the drop down in the top left to navigate. With the update, the icons down the left sidebar duplicate some of the icons down the right sidebar, such as calendar, and contacts. I know we can edit that right sidebar to show what we want, but having icons in both sidebars seems like a lot. With the change, will only one sidebar have icons? Or still both sidebars will be used?

​@conniechen We’d like to opt in for the toggle to be enabled for the entire organization. Rolling this out globally will give us the runway we need to get the team fully acclimated to the new feature. The updated navigation will be a major win on our end, and we’re excited to integrate it into our workflow.

This is exciting. I’m excited to see more updates released.

​@Kirsten thanks for the feedback.

Regarding redundancy of icons on both sides of the app

We recognize the initial visual overlap between the app switcher and plugins panel, but these two elements serve fundamentally different goals.

The left sidebar is designed for core, persistent navigation. It's how you’re able to switch between major apps, and it’s always there, providing anchor points across the product.

The right plugin panel is built to provide context. Its primary purpose is to give you quick, configurable access to information or actions to help you respond to the conversation you’re viewing.

That being said, we are continuing to explore opportunities to consolidate or streamline components! Take a look at this other option that we’re actively building out

​@grit_evy Great! I’ll get that turned on for you by end of day.

Already loving these two options of the navigation switcher and the indicators. Huge improvement over the recent changes. 

Would like to try it too, thanks

Would like to try this, thank you!

I appreciate the thoughtful approach to this rollout, and I’m a fan of this. I like that the options are persistent, but low profile.

I understand what people are saying about the duplicate icons. It doesn’t really bother me, personally, because there have always been two different calendar selections that do different things, etc. But I think that could be confusing for a new user, as there are now two of the same icon on the main screen that do different things.

Lastly, as a frequent user of Sequences, I like this even better than the original design. In that layout, Sequences was always nested under a sub-menu at my screen resolution, even though it was the only option in that menu.
