I’d like to highlight this post (Sidebar Sections A Step Backwards in Organization) and get your opinions on the sidebar sections.

I just got updated to Org plan today and I completely agree with everything that has been mentioned in that post.

My expectation → As soon I create teams, it would automatically appear in my sidebar along with all the projects that I will move into them.

What happened → All my starred projects and files are grouped together into one leaving me confused.
I went ahead and created teams to organise the files only to realise that the teams that I created are not showing up on my sidebar.
I have to manually ‘star’ them to make it appear in sidebar, still fine. But now the projects under them won’t show up. Have to star them as well! And it adds one below the other and not inside respective teams. You have to manually move it and place it below the related team.
And everything is under this one long section called ‘Starred’. There is no hierarchy, no indentation between the Team names and the projects.
Then found the option of ‘create a new section’ hidden under the ‘Starred’ section. So, there is no automatic grouping of projects under teams, you have create sections with team names and manually move the team and also the projects under the section. At this point I gave up.

This entire sidebar section is totally confusing and annoying tbh. This is definitely a step backwards imo.

Would love to hear how others on org plan make use of sections, is it really helpful for you or do you face similar confusions with this change?
