Coming soon: Asana redesign to help you find what you need quickly and easily

Hi Asana community :wave:

Over the years, we’ve heard that Asana can feel cluttered and difficult to navigate, especially as you add more work. With the extra volatility and challenges we’ve all been experiencing lately, we wanted to make at least Asana painless to navigate.

We are excited to introduce an Asana redesign to help you find what you need quickly and easily, in your way. Here’s what you can expect to see:

  • Access your most important work with our new sidebar. You can reorder projects, drag-and-drop sections, star your favorite projects, portfolios, or profiles, and resize the sidebar to quickly access what you need

  • It’s easier than ever to find work in Asana - try quick filters in search (now front and center on the topbar) and in-project search

  • Customize your Asana - choose between our light and dark themes, then personalize your user profile to your liking

Lastly, thank you to those who helped inform these changes! Feedback from thousands of early access participants were critical to these enhancements. We always appreciate your partnership and hope you enjoy the new Asana! Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback.

You mention starring projects, portfolios, and profiles, can you confirm if it will also be possible to star individual messages?

@Peta_Williams you can star individual messages from your Inbox, but they won’t appear in your sidebar like starred projects, portfolios, etc.

Where will they appear?

It would be great to expand the left sidebar so you can view the entire project text…I’m sure you’ve added this to your roadmap…

Welcome, @MSD_Admin,

The A/B test I have access to shows the ability to expand the left sidebar now though not mentioned in the OP (@Marie).

Hi. Can we also get the ability to print JUST TASKS (not subtasks)? That would be the MOST helpful <3

Wondering how to add the “Projects” field to an existing project following this new update? I used to be able to add this field via Customize but it seems to have disappeared?

Welcome, @anon49909212,

You can’t do that natively in Asana but you can with the free Asana2Go (disclaimer: I’m the creator):

Hi, @anon75318994 , the quick filters are still there, just relocated under the redesigned ‘Filter’ menu, where you can add up to 5 filters (or sorts, combined):
