:ok_hand:t5::white_check_mark: Thank you so much for collapsible right panel! That decreases the need of switching everytime to browser publish mode and very useful for smaller screens. Screens cant be big enough!

A post was split to a new topic: Conversion between the old and new design panel

Did not get a change to try out the file renaming/moving options added in server connect yet. Will probably do it today. Excited to try out the new design panel!! :star_struck:
