Please bring back previous control bar UI

[benhovinga]

I just got served a new UI and I don't like it. Saving and exporting documents are a very important part of any workflow. So why are these key functions hidden?

Someone please tell me how to save this document. (sarcasm)

Oh there it is.

Why is it all hidden behind this button?

This style of button in UI/UX design is usually used for "more options" or "settings". Key functions (like save) should not be hidden behind buttons like this and should be, at most, 2 clicks to access.

I'd also like to point out that this new UI is being served randomly (probably some A/B testing). So when I opened a new tab I get served the previous UI. Both are the same version.

It's automatically on the smaller UI because of your small screen, maybe there's an issue detecting the size in your case. You can select the larger theme.

Oh I see now. I must have opened draw.io when the window was very small and it didn't change when I maximized the window. I then opened a new tab while maximized. The one I was looking at I suppose was for tablets like iPad, which now makes sense. Don't mind me, just being a bonehead on the internet 😅
