This morning when I fired up my Asana I noticed that the AI Summary box had been moved from the right side column (under the status update) over to the top of the Overview tab. Is there a way to remove this from the top of the Overview tab and/or move it back to the right side column? We use the Overview tab for cross-linking projects to internal resources via hyperlinks so it really, really screws up our workflow.
This change is a real bummer, as our teams have recently gotten used to using that AI Summary tool but having it in this new spot makes accessing our project resources way less convenient & turns that had become to be seen as a real asset into an annoyance.
In general, there is no way to change the interface. When Asana makes a design decision, itās either an ongoing test that can be rolled back or itās a definitive solution thatās being deployed.
That being said, the forum is the right place to ācomplainā about this so that if you have enough eyeballs on your issue, maybe Asana can roll it back. I just moved your post to the product feedback category.
Long story short: any ātoggleā or āoptionā is adding complexity to the product. Which costs for a lot of reasons.
They kinda do by running experiments, reading the forum, offering āFeedbackā buttons in the appā¦ But at the same time, my own opinion is that you canāt simply always do what people ask, mostly because no one agrees on what should be done.
This box is GIANT and totally interrupts work flow in Asana. Please remove it or put it in a side column. This is annoying and degrades my experience using Asana. It makes getting to key elements like the project brief and regularly accessed links/docs a long scrolling experience.
If it does force the āoverviewā right click and delete prior to using. Yes, it bothers me this much that I had to invest time in working out how to remove it from my work!
I just ran into this this morning, and to have to disable Asana AI to get rid of it is very much not optimal. This takes up a lot of space, and itās not something we want to see every time we go to the overview page, which we use to attach essential related work, team info, etc.
We may have to go to the solution of using the Notes tab vs the Overview tab, but doesnāt give the same functionality. I would like to be able to make this AI Summary go away and have it only when I ask for it. My boss is not pleased. And neither will our clients be.
I didnāt even think of disabling the AI tool. That would certainly work, but our team has come to rely on that. Really, really stinks that we have to turn that off just to keep our resources where we want them.
We use AI every day, so turning that off is definitely not an option for us. I am going to ignore the AI summary box and am confident Asana will get it sorted out. Some people will love it. I just want the option to disable or hide it if I donāt want it. I do use AI for summaries, and to help me draft higher-level status updates, and I love that.
Very True, these elements should be movable so we can set up our overview structure in a way that best works for us. It feels like the AI tool is in our face. We love Asana and the āoptionsā but this is a non-option. Please let us move these elements, Asana.
Agreed! The placement isnāt ideal, the UI is way too big, and a lot of us donāt care for AI overviews anyway. To toggle it on/off, move it down, or make the UI smaller would be ideal.
This feature basically ruins the Overview tab. Half of my Overview tab is just noise.
Please add a āremoveā button (not sure why this didnāt come with the feature itself) or at the very least a warning message before clicking it, such as, āThis is a non-reversible action, and will permanently clutter your Overview tabā.
thank you
ps. I love Asana but this feature from a DEV p.o.v is unacceptable.
Option A: the elements in the overview page can be customized/reordered
Option B: The AI summary section can be permanently closed/hidden
Option C: The AI summary section can be collapsed
This āfeatureā takes up so much space even on my workstation screen
UPDATE: I was doing a demo for a new hire to show them how obnoxious the AI Summary box is now that its been added to the Overview tab (and why weāre no longer using it), and I generated a summary. Iāve now discovered that once a summary has ben generated there doesnāt seem to be a way of deleting it. So now the box is even larger and more in my way than before. Ugh!
