Board View - Projects vs Tasks

Hello Emma Stevens, welcome to the Community, and thank you for posting!

Board View displays only tasks and not projects. As our Support agent suggested, if you’d like to see your projects displayed in columns and filtered by status,  Dashboards can be the alternative. Please let me know if you have any questions 🙋🏻‍♀️

I personnaly use Dashboards and it is great..!

Great to know you find them helpful for this Eric 🙌

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this request/feedback question - but the new UI really makes it difficult to move from project view to task view. 

Previously - the clipboard icon would allow you to toggle back to the project view and that ability no longer exists. So if I click on a task from my inbox in the new UI - there's no intuitive way for me to get to the project level. I have to scroll on the left side to find the project and then do multiple clicks in order to get to the project level. See example below - how do you get to the project level from here? (you used to be able to click the clipboard icon to navigate there - note that this view is from my "Incoming" inbox):

The quickest way for me to find it - is clicking "Open in a new tab"

So that's 1 click. Then I have to click again because I get served this (so that's 2 clicks)

Then I click the parent of that file path at the top (so that's 3 clicks)

and THEN I can see "Go to full details" - which is the project level and have to click on that - which is FOUR CLICKS (where it used to be ONE)

Now I can see all the tasks in the project and see the status/where this is, etc. (and another piece of feedback, why did you all collapse all the info at the project level pane? It looks just like the task level - shouldn't those be distinguished? Meaning - if I'm trying to read everything at the project level and I've had to frame of reference, the whole point here is that I'm getting up to speed. You all collapsing that view makes that difficult).

Just think this is a pretty bad experience for a very easy functionality that really gets used a lot.

There's an easier way with just 2 clicks, but it isn't as intuitive: 

If you opened the inbox Message and click on "More" in the right corner, it will show all the task info, including the parent task, folder or project. Now click directly on that task, and it will link you right through it.
