How to Opt-in and out
We've conveniently provided an option in the menu that appears when clicking your Profile icon in the upper right corner to opt-in to the new navigation:
Opting-out is just as easy, though the Profile icon is now found in the lower left corner in the new layout:
Workspace Home
One of the big changes in the new layout is the addition of a "Home" page, accessed by pressing the Home button in the upper left, just below the Workspace icon.
The Home page provides a nice area to see an overview of all the projects you're connected to in the Workspace:
If you're new to SyncSketch, we also provide a convenient link to our "Getting Started" video to give you a brief overview of the product features. Of course, if you wish to remove this from your view, simply click the Remove Tutorial button in the upper right above the banner.
If you're connected to a lot of projects, but only visit a smaller number of them frequently, you may find our new Favorites (Starred Projects) feature very useful. By clicking the star icon on a project, it will be highlighted in the Favorites section at the top of the list for easy access. Simply click the star again to remove it from Favorites.
It's important to note that the Home page is meant to be "Home" for the current Workspace selected - it will not display all projects across multiple Workspaces if you're connected to more than one.
Workspace Switcher
If you're connected to more than one Workspace, you can switch to another by clicking the Workspace icon in the upper left which will reveal the Workspace switcher. If you have admin permissions on a Workspace, you'll also see an Edit Settings button that can be used to go to the Workspace Settings.
Project Switcher
By clicking the Select Project dropdown to the right of the Workspace icon, you'll reveal the Project Switcher. This can be used to quickly switch to any other Project you have access to, without having to navigate back to the Home page. Starred Projects are displayed at the top of the list for easy access.
Project View
Once you've entered a Project, you'll notice the layout has been completely refreshed. Now, all icons for the different "tabs" can be found along the sidebar all the way to the left side of the screen. Reviews tab is selected by default, with access to Media, Activity Log, Users and Settings below that. Please note, your subscription type and permission level can affect what you have access to, so some icons may be missing for you.
To the right of these icons, when the Reviews tab is selected, we now have a panel that allows quick changes to your view by showing All Reviews, only Starred Reviews, and easy access to any Review Groups you've created (dependent on your subscription type).
Similar to Starred Projects, we've also added the concept of Starred Reviews, allowing you to flag important or frequently accessed Reviews for convenience.
When the Media tab (subscription dependent) is selected, we provide easy access to select and manage any Bookmarks you've created.
