The cloud platform console app has recently been updated, adding nested menus (awesome), and removed the customizable quick link icons (not so awesome).
It had become second nature to switch between components of the cloud platform that were relevant to each specific project by using these quick links. Now I have to go through the menu system, which a) is an extra click and b) is much slower.

OLD UI (awesome customizable quick link bar)


NEW UI (awesome nested menus, but no quick links)




Sorry to beef over something so seemingly petty, but this is really slowing me down (and other devs in my team). It just doesn't make sense why such a useful feature would be removed.

Anyone else share my pain?

Google - any chance of getting the quick links back?


Cheers :)
Gwyn

You can still pin down the links, they will just show in the left pane.

We've linked this thread to the team currently working on the new UI as feedback. For additional visibility I'd also recommend posting a bug report to the Cloud Console Issue Tracker, where you can star the issue and request others to do the same. One the issue is created I can link it to the internal issue tracking the UI updates as well.

Looks pretty good to me. Even clearer than the old UI.
