Basically, what was said here, but it seems the sidebar aspect is being overlooked/unacknowledged from what I can see: https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/edit-tasks-inline-or-on-a-sidebar
This is the major thing I find difficult with migrating from Asana to Clickup. Having the modal cover up everything and having to close it is bothersome. Asana's design choice in this regard is just far more pleasing to the eye and uses less clicks. I prefer the task items to not fill up the whole screen anyway, finding the feeling on my eyes rather similar to websites that let paragraphs stretch wider than they ought to (making them uncomfortable to read).
Making the split screen an option (rather than mandatory) at least would be acceptable. Other than an on/off switch, this is pretty much a front-end feature.
The screenshot I've annotated comes from an official Asana tutorial, so credits to there.
In our mission to make the world more productive, we believe that people should have be able to customize software to work for their workflows. We will be releasing this in the near future!
@Zeb: Great to hear, I can't wait! Keep up the great work 😃
@Zeb: This is exciting! Seeing how Dashboards work, I can't help but assume that's a foundation for this feature!! Was indeed hoping to be able to create super custom layouts!
@Zeb: yay!!!
@Zeb:
Great news! Much needed feature!
@Zeb: yay!! so pumped!
@Zeb: at last ! what a news, cannot wait to stop asana to come here once the side bar is active
Came to Clickup 2.0 and still find the annoying screen-stretched tasks and not allowing people the option to not have the screen-blocking modal? Give people options to suit their preferences, though both are arguably poor UI design in general.
Not enjoyable to use at all. Back to Asana again.
C'mon, Clickup. I think you can do better!
@Zeb: This is a big reason why many people i've spoken to switched back to Asana after using ClickUp. When trying out CU during V1 I also switched back to Asana because of this (then moved back to CU due to all the other features)
Here is a similar request:
https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/condense-task-view
The task screen is really big right now, while users would be happy with a smaller version. Now it covers the whole screen with almost nothing.
I've added a nice small screen from Asana
Please add a way in CU to replicate the task details window opening up as a split screen like this (like Asana does) instead of taking over your whole screen.
This would work best as a setting turn on/off so that people who prefer full screen can still have that.

Same about no comments section - https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/full-size-task-window-no-comments-section
I would love this, a couple things really:
- for the tasks to show like in Asana and have the possibility that when you "checkmark" a task it doesn't disappear from the list and move to a "closed" scenario - but stays there in that list, marked closed by the checkmark color - at least to have the option to enable this type of feature.
- I'd also appreciate to hide the chat window - in some cases it's just not necessary in a task, I just need to see the task and details (that's where this view is fantastic) - If we could see the split like this - and have custom fields, files, etc. listed one-above-the-other instead of bunched as they are now when minimized, that would be extremely helpful, and again a lot less clicking-through actions to "activate" a view to see details at a glance @Zeb
@Andrea Liesting: Regarding your points:
1. Yes, agreed. Personally I wouldn't like that, but I can see why many people would, so having it as an option to enable or disable would be great.
2. Agreed!
@Andrea Liesting: you can do the first point by updating the filter of your view to show all tasks
I think the comment split screen can be made smaller by dragging the divider between the task description and comment section
@Anastasiya Gendelman: Yes but it can't be totally closed - which is preferred, because it's taking up valuable screen space (and in some cases more ways for info to be more easily visible) where sometimes we just don't need to have comments on each task - and in some cases we do lol...but thanks for the tip for the first point, I'm going to check that out. There have been so-many-updates lately I'm a bit slow on the up-take haha :)
@Andrea Liesting: Having it totally closed is a constant thought whenever I open my task - it's really annoying to have to use such a tiny space to do all the task description and custom fields.
@Zeb, I'd rather have the subtasks and checklists instead of the comments and be able to toggle the comments over that right panel, like it is now, but it slides over - perhaps with the option of having it always open - or some way to be able to customize the task view - or have the custom fields on the right panel and toggle between comment, fields, and attachments accordion style...
But a "Quick view" side panel like in Asana would also be great, so I can switch between tasks quickly - I'm not a fan of keyboard shortcuts and navigating back and forth through tasks left and right doesn't always work. I don't know how that would work option-wise - we'd have to choose one global task view option, either the side panel view or the full task view - or have an additional "full screen" icon in the hover over task menu
@Anastasiya Gendelman: I totally agree - I just don't use the comments at all really - I'm more of a "let's have ONE place for discussion" and anything task related (not discussion based) is kept in each task. I can link to tasks in a discussion, so I really don't need a discussion on each individual task. We need a way to have a larger, more clear (less click) overview of each task when it's opened in-full.
But please only optional. That's great if I only have the full task view. Focus.
@Samuel Schneider: Agreed. I would like to be able to choose which view (half screen pop-out OR full screen) acts as my default view, so I always have the option to go back and change which is default whenever I want.
I certainly missed this from my Asana days
Agree!
