The Sidebar/Home set-up in 4.0 does not really make sense.

The name "Home" being interchangeable for the Sidebar in 4.0 makes no sense. In fact, that whole button and how it works/does not work doesn't make sense.

Don't get me wrong - some of the aspects of the Sidebar in 4.0 are really good.

But a Sidebar is not a Home, it is a navigational tool.

We need a separate Home screen to that of the Sidebar.

Because, right now, the "Home" button opens the sidebar AND navigates away to a random page. It does not make sense to do two functions.

It is a really confusing setup.

It does not take you to a Home screen of any kind - it takes you somewhere random - AND it opens the sidebar.

I know Clickup want the full sidebar to be considered your home, but it's not useful as an actual Home page, nor what I would expect.

It has no information on it, so it's not really a Home screen of any kind.

When I click "Home", I am expecting to go to an actual Home screen - most likely a custom dashboard I set up as the default view on loading ClickUp.

One that I can show whatever data I want on it.

But it's also weird it even opens the sidebar. Because 1. Nothing in the name indicates that it will, and 2. It ALSO navigates away at the same time as opening the sidebar.

The problem with making the "Home" button not only take you to another page (even if it worked as expected) but ALSO open the sidebar is that you might not want to do both of those things - you might want to just open the sidebar, or you might just want to go to your home page.

A Sidebar is not a "Home". It's a navigational tool to move around ClickUp.

We need two buttons - one to open the sidebar (a standard hamburger-type button), and one to go to a default Home screen.

yes 4.0 UI brings most of this. However I would love to see 'smart' sections too. For example a section that shows you all current active threads from channels or tasks with unread message counts etc. Or a section that acts as sub inbox. eg let me filter down to notifications just from the HR folder (ie channel messages/task comments/notifications)

I and my org cannot wait for this! Looking forward.

I'm new to ClickUp and was really excited to set up a kind of central go-to hub for an overview of my work – ongoing projects, nearly-due and overdue tasks, upcoming calendar items, things that require follow-up. I've managed to set this all up on the back-end but realized there is no single view that will let you hold all this information at a glance. Customized dashboards do most of it, but then you can't have a calendar view which is really annoying, and these have to live within a particular space (although you can pull data from across spaces). The home should do all of this, but the customization is horrendous and nothing like the functionality of dashboards. I'm kind of shocked, given how powerful ClickUp is, that it's not possible to achieve what I'm after. As others have said, Home really ought to integrate the full range of functionality of dashboards so that it can be highly customized to an individual's particular work patterns and priorities. Any news on a timeline for improvements, and what features exactly we can expect?

Can this update just combine the current features of the home page and the functionality of the dashboard?

Please consider updating the visual layout of the components on the Home section. Make it a personalized dashboard of what is pending, along with various sorting options across the spaces. and at the same time visually enhanced.

Please add more custom cards Home is amazing but limited.

Ex. Header card to customize a message or link or something.

Custom list display card

Custom note card

Ability to star tasks and have them highlight at top

Custom tasks view card (ex. can decide to just show all tasks under a certain status assigned to me and seperate these out rather than just one section period)

Would love to see more customization inside the homepage.

For example, being able to add multiple of cards and set them to different filters, columns, etc. The assigned to me card is the best example of this. Having only 1 assigned to me card can be tough because not all tasks need the same columns, so being able to have 2, 3, or 4 of the assigned to me cards but set them up differently would be helpful.

'add a new section to brain dump tasks'. - Do you mean an Inbox Zeb ?

I would like the ability to display documents in Home, allowing for further customization of critical content. This could be a better way to implement the "new section to brain dump tasks", that allows for other user customization.
