Whether you’re an agent on the go or an admin managing multiple priorities, our goal is to make your experience more intuitive, streamlined, and efficient.
## 🔄 Redesigned Sidebar – Built for Clarity
We’ve restructured the **Sidebar** to better match how you work.\
What’s changing:
* **Simplified Navigation**: Menu items will no longer auto-expand when active, reducing accidental clicks and visual clutter.
* **Consistent Access**: Inner items are now easily accessible at all times—whether the sidebar is minimized or expanded.
* **Sidebar Lock Option**: Prefer your sidebar open? A new lock feature lets you keep it that way.
## 🌟 Introducing the New Header
To make room for what matters most, we’re moving some key tools into a sleek new **Header**:
* **Lucy**, your built-in AI assistant, is ready to help.
* **HelpDesk & Live Support** are now just one click away.
* Stay informed with **What’s New** and **Notifications**.
* Your **User Profile** has moved up top—but don’t worry, it still functions exactly the same.
## ✨ Smooth Animations & Transitions
We’re also introducing subtle animations for sidebar expansion and collapse, making every interaction feel smooth and modern.
