Asana's new navigation experience

Hi all, a few updates for you since I last checked in.

(1) Left rail customization is now on for everyone

You can now:

  1. Reorder items

  2. Switch to an icons-only left rail, which gives you back some horizontal space

  3. Turn off the People and Strategy items

To do so, refresh your Asana window and click the “…” in the left rail, then “Customize navigation”.

A few items can’t be turned off, which we know might not be what everyone wants. Those items represent the core of Asana’s product and we made a deliberate call to keep them in place as they are.

(2) Command-click is fixed

Opening a left rail item in a new tab with command-click (or ctrl-click) now works as expected.

(3) On navigating between teams and projects

We hear you on this. The feedback in this thread has been consistent about how the latest change affected moving between teams and their projects and we are actively exploring ways to address it. More to come.

(4) On a better minimized state

We’ve heard the request for a better collapsed state for the sidebar and we are actively discussing options here as well.

I’ll keep posting here as we move on (3) and (4). Thanks for continuing to share your experiences!
