A sidebar that stays put, and a default business

The fold button on the side menu is now a real, visible button; a folded menu stays folded across refreshes and page moves; and the business you work on is kept on your account, so signing in again opens right back on it.

What changed

The panel's side menu got three new behaviours:

  • The fold button is findable. The little arrow that folded the menu away used to be a faint glyph; it is now a real button with a border and a surface of its own, the same family as the account circle beside it, and just as visible in dark mode.
  • A folded menu stays folded. Fold it once and the choice is kept in the browser — across refreshes and across moves from page to page. Until now the menu popped back open on the first navigation.
  • A default business. The last business you worked on is kept on your account, not just in the browser session. The next time you sign in — from any device — the panel opens right there, not on whichever of your businesses sorts first alphabetically.

How to use it

  1. To fold the menu, press the arrow button at the top of the side menu (beside the account circle); a small tab left on the screen's edge brings it back.
  2. To switch businesses, the same place as always: the account circle at the top of the menu, under "Businesses". Each switch makes the new business your default.

Good to know

  • The default business lives on your account, so it is the same on every device; change it on your phone and the desktop follows after the next sign-in.
  • If you ever lose access to a business, the panel moves itself to the next one you may see.
  • The fold is kept per browser; on a phone the menu stays the usual strip and has no fold buttons.
