Improve the standalone Chat sidebar in 4.0
completed
R
Ruud
I'm on the new 4.0 interface. The new 'Home' button brings to too a combination of chat, channels and spaces/folder/lists.
I understand why you find it better to mix the two worlds, but I also would like to make a distinction between those worlds.
So I would like to have the option to add 'Chat' to the sidebar. It would move all chats, channels to live under this button and show a number next to the open chats, with an option to mute them as well.
If you don't enable the seperate button it will live next to spaces. Would love to see that split!

Hey, everyone!
We're excited to share that we've upgraded the standalone entry point for Chat in the Global Navigation to now have your organized sections, just like the Home sidebar!
If you still want to use the "Recents" mode we had before, you can do that by changing the setting on the sidebar.
If you're looking for a badge with the # of unread Channels or DMs, please upvote this feature request which we're also working on actively: https://feedback.clickup.com/chat-feedback/p/have-a-numeric-badge-next-to-the-clickup-chat-section-in-the-navigation-sidebar
Thanks - and let us know if you run into any issues!

Pip to notifiy of new Chat messages
Matthew Aitken
Our team mostly have the sidebar collapsed to the side, and thus do not see the red 'pip' on chats with unread messages. The Chat module being an area one has to navigate to or slide open, not always open and visible, it somewhat defeats the purpose of unread notifications only shown on the chats after one looks there, i.e there is no prompt to check Chat messages.
It would be helpful, and consistent with the existing 'Inbox' notifications behaviour, to have a numerated pip on the Chat icon on the sidebar.

it would be great to be able to add/delete a user within a group chat, also to rename the group chat to have better view?

Not ADHD Friendly Interface Changes
J
Jennifer Zmuda
The new changes made to the interface recently are extremely unfriendly to people with ADHD. I utilize the chat function frequently every day to communicate with my team about specific projects and client accounts and it previously was streamlined and easy to see what chat thread I needed to go to, but now there's so much information all in one place and it's extremely difficult to find the chat thread I want to use to communicate to my team. Can we please have an option to customize this view so it's not so overwhelming and jumbled?

Jennifer Zmuda Hey there! Please try utilizing the sections under the Home sidebar, instead of the standalone Chat sidebar for now.
We have a separate feature request to improve the standalone Chat sidebar to be organized into sections, so I'll merge your post into that one!

organize chat left nav
Madison Shingledecker
Hi, when in chat it would be nice to have the option organize my left navigation by type of chat. Keeping Dm's and channels separate or organizing them in a particular order. Like we can in Home.

Chat separation in ClickUp v4

Hey :) it would be super nice to have separations in the chat navigation tab instead of having all of them in a simple list mixing DMs & channels randomly.

Chats On sidebar for easier access

Walter Miller
Similar to Slack, where all the chats I’m watching are accessible in a drop down list on the sidebar menu. This would be nice because the chats are nested in each space/folder/list. It is difficult to get to each of them quickly and easily
Possibility would be to have a chat widget for the dashboard that pulls up the selected chats from the respective spaces/folders/lists so the user can customize their own chat dashboard.

Pedro Itallo: Hey, there! No, not yet.
Unfortunately, we found some last-minute issues to resolve before we can begin rolling this out to users
