We're thrilled to unveil a fresh, modern look for the Channable tool, a fresh redesign after ten years, to raise the bar both in terms of design and functionality.
To assist in the transition to this new layout, we have prepared this guide. It will help you quickly adapt to and navigate the new design, ensuring a seamless experience.
Why the redesign?
This redesign focuses on optimizing your navigation experience to ensure that every element works seamlessly for you.
Our aim with this redesign was to not only refresh the look, but to make the layout more intuitive. By efficiently showcasing new features and streamlining the interface, this approach is designed to support our continued growth while ensuring that your experience feels personalized and user-friendly right from the start.
What's changed?
- Simplified navigation: By removing the top menu bar and putting important functionalities in a bigger left sidebar. This makes it easier to find and view.
- Enhanced search functionality: The new design features an improved search bar at the top of the interface, helping you quickly find tools and features.
- Visual and functional upgrades: Experience a fresher interface with updated fonts and design elements that have been optimized for improved usability and a more aesthetically pleasing user experience.
How to Opt In and Explore the New Design
Starting today, all users will have the option to try out the new Channable design. Here’s how you can make the switch:
Activating the New Design:
- Click on your “Name” in the top right corner.
- Click on Switch Theme and select the “Modern interface”.
Reverting to the Legacy Design:
- Go to the Company level and click on the “Account” page in the bottom left.
- Select Switch Theme and choose the “Legacy theme”.
Navigating the new design
As you have noticed, the most significant change involves the toolbar's position. It was previously located at the top of the screen, but it has now been elegantly relocated to the left side. This mirrors the streamlined approach we have been using at the project level.
Let's delve into the details: We have two distinct levels, the Company level and the project level. At the Company level, you'll find all the familiar functionalities of the old toolbar, now reimagined and conveniently placed on the left side of your screen for easier navigation.
The project level retains all its previous pages but presents them in a more visually appealing and expansive format.
