Asana's new navigation experience

@Audrey_Breitwieser,

I’m seeing this in one environment but not another. Is it a bug? If it’s a design choice or experiment, I’d like to request this be reconsidered:

If I start here: Work sidebar tab selected, currently showing Inbox as the main page:

If I click the People sidebar tab, the main page switches to my own Profile page (all I did was click People in the sidebar rail; nothing else):

I don’t want the main page to change when I’m clicking the sidebar rail. I clicked there because I wanted to see the list of teams in the sidebar. I wasn’t expecting the main page to change, and I don’t want to be redirected from the main page I had been looking at; and certainly not to my own Profile page, which I almost never want to see.

It was surprising, disruptive, and violates a fundamental UX tenet (“the user is in control”).

Thanks,

Larry
