Can I customize my sidebar to remove Goals and Portfolios or other items?

Hello – we have a Premium account but not a Business account. So we’re not using Goals or Portfolios and do not plan to use them. However, they both appeared in the sidebar when they were released, and are taking up precious vertical real estate in the sidebar. Is there a way to remove both of those? (I could also do without the “Invite teammates” tag in the bottom left that appeared recently, if there’s a way to nix it, too.) Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi @Jennifer_Berger, welcome to the Asana Community Forum! We have recently implemented the option to collapse Goals and Portfolios in the sidebar, you can do this by selecting “show less” and the features will be collapsed by default. However, it’s currently not possible to customize other sections in your sidebar.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions! :slight_smile:

Hi Emily, Thank you for the response! However, I don’t have the Show Less button. Any ideas for how I might receive the update?

Thanks for getting back to me @Jennifer_Berger! I just checked internally and this feature was part of an A/B test that has ended and it’s not available anymore. Our team is analysing results and decide if we will implement it to all customers. I’ll keep you posted! Apologies for any confusion here!

I would like this feature to come back. Moreover I would like the ability to drag and drop the sidebar to customize it to my liking. It would be nice to know when features are being tested so perhaps we as users can vote on things. For example, I never click on Goals or Portfolios since my account is not eligible to use them. But if someone is A/B testing my account, they could read that data wrong and think I don’t want to collapse or move these features when in fact I’m just ignoring them for now because I can’t use them.

I just upgraded to Premium. I dont have a “Show Less” button under Goals, as in your screenshot
I do have a "Show Less button under Favorites–screenshot attached? How do I show less like you do.

I look at the sidebar 200 times a day, and every time I am immediately shown two features I cannot use. Do you know how much that makes me hate Asana?

Please put the Show Less back. How can you justify showing users two features (Goals and Portfolios) that they cannot use?

Hi @Andrew_Bartholomew, I’ve posted an update about this feature here:

I’ll close this thread to avoid any confusion but I’ll make sure to open it and send you an update an soon as I have one! Thanks again for your feedback!
