ClickUp rolled out three new sidebar layouts: Modern, Simple, and Clean. The video walks through how to switch between them and tips for managing the change across your team's workspace.
If you didn't know ClickUp has multiple layouts. Yeah, right, Just. If you think this tool wasn't confusing and customizable enough, you can now change how the overall interface is laid out by adjusting your sidebar settings. Funny enough, your sidebar layout doesn't just affect your sidebar, it actually affects the whole app and how everything is arranged in your workspace. So if you've watched some of my videos and you've thought, whoa, her layout, her spaces, how they look, it doesn't look the same as mine. That's because I'm using in my more recent videos the Simple UX and I. And in my older videos, you'll see me using the modern layout. And these layout changes over time can make it hard for you to follow outdated tutorials. And if you're trying to follow those outdated tutorials, you might find it helpful to switch your sidebar layout, even temporarily, to the same layout as the person giving the tutorial. And of course, if you're trying to teach your team how to use ClickUp and you hear something like, oh, I don't see sidebars like that, or mine doesn't look like this. This is a little tip you can have in your pocket to help troubleshoot if those questions come up when you're trying to train your team or answer a question from your VA at the time of recording this video. The modern layout is still the default for new accounts, but the Simple UX layout is probably going to become the default in the near future. So you want to keep an eye on this in your own account. When the default sidebar layout changes, it's not going to change for everybody. You're still going to need to manually change yours, and this video is going to show you how to do it.
Or you can go to Sidebar settings, layout and Size and Sidebar sorry. And you can flip between Modern and Clean and Simple. Modern is the default, which is probably the layout most of you are used to. I personally have been working the simple one for a while, so you can flip to that. You can see how the sidebar looks totally different. Some of the terms, some of the icons are different depending on which one you go into. So this is the clean layout, which is no longer supported, which is why you see it's a little bit buggy, because it's not very commonly used. But each one of these, you get to choose, and you also get to choose your spacings.
All right, so there you go. That's how you change to the Simple UX or the new simple interface from ClickUp. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below.
