| This comment is part of why I love Gitlab. > One of the most problematic areas, as you perfectly mentioned, is the left sidebar. We already enable project administrators to remove items from there by going to Settings -> General -> Visibility, project features, permissions, and then toggling off the areas you would like to remove. However, this is a project setting, not per user. I can't believe I missed that. Is it a somewhat recent feature? I could swear I could not disable everything a few months ago when I tried it (I remember not being able to hide Operations, Analytics, etc.). Maybe I just went too quickly through the visibility options. Well I apologize, it is indeed feasible to hide the features I don't use. Thanks for the heads up. > I hope that gives you a better understanding how our UX team at GitLab thinks about this Thank you for these explanations. Although I think some pages are too bloated, I like the fact that you act on it. And to be honest, I've always found each iteration of the UI better than the previous one, so there's that. |
Yes and no We did have this section, but only about half of the items in the left sidebar were initially included. This was an oversight from our teams, and we managed to get most of that fixed over the last 2 milestones (more refinements coming up as well, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to create an issue).

That's amazing to hear and proves our high focus on iterating fast and improving each time. Thanks so much for your feedback!
