Is there any way to revert the browse functionality back to how it was? Maybe the recents could be included in the Recents tab instead of popping up with "Recent" when I click on Browse?

Please, please make these pop-ups optional with a toggle switch or something. I have learned how to navigate quickly using my own method and now every time I hit Browse or Favorites I have multiple other options I have to work through to get where I want to be. I really liked the method I developed, and I can't get anywhere quickly anymore. I used Browse and Favorites constantly but used the Workspace list from there.

I heartily agree! I'm in and out of many workspaces daily and now finding it takes more clicks to get to what I need. But I can see the value for some users.

I too agree with Pauls request.. this change made it worse for the browse button. The only way i can use the original browse feature, is by customizing the URL Redirect Link in 1 of my 3rd party add-on extensions.

This is what i get when clicking on Browse. Please STOP changing the UI, we are not asking for that!!

10x agree with Paul. This was not very ideal when doing training today and had to do an extra click each time.
