Let the "Overview" be an optional view
in progress
Jana Michelová
With the 3.0 release, we got the "Overview" view in folder that is apparently required. This means, after entering a folder, you need to make additional click into your list, because it's second in a row, overview being the first. The overview cannot be dragged anywhere, neither turned off. Pinning other views doesn't help either. Please, make this "overview" view optional. I don't need it at all, and this only makes me click even more to get where I need. Thank you.

Jana Michelová, why not just set a view as your default view (for each folder or space)? Then everytime you select the space or folder it will go to your default view. I do agree we should be able to toggle overview off for selected folders/spaces.

Tim Jasper I refuse to manage this manually. The "overview" view is not only useless to me, but also an unpleasant, forced feature that slows down my workflow.

We will be rolling out soon the ability to toggle off Overviews as the default view. Stay tuned!

Lily Chan Can I confirm that we will be able to turn the Overviews off completely, not just change them from being the default?
From many of the posts in this thread you'll note that we want the option to not see these overviews at all.

100% agree. Slow, buggy, stupid, and wastes the most valuable inch of real estate in all of ClickUp. It is completely redundant to Dashboards, which is where this kind of info belongs.
When you fix this, can you also please allow us to see more pinned Views? This image shows over 2 inches of unused white space to the right of Views which prevents display of more views and adds more time fiddling.

Make it so overview when in a folder shows the recent, docs, and resources for that folder. Showing documents from other folders is confusing.

Por favor, hagan el cambio ya! Es muy incómoda esta situación.

This has been bugging us since September 2023.
How time-consuming would it be just to set something optional? Or let us move it to the end of the views list?!

With the introduction of the Overview tab (totally useless in my opinion), the Default view option that can be set at the space level is not followed by the app. In my Spaces, my default views are set to List view. However, every single Folder opens in Overview view, not in List view. Please make ClickUp follow the Default view setting again for all plans. I want my Folder to open in List view directly, as specified by the setting "Default view". The Overview tab only shows useless information and slows me down.

Please make the overview optional. It really is annoying because it adds more wait time for me to see the view that is useful to me.
The original ability to customise the default view was great, now we have been waiting for ages to get this back. Please would you escalate this?
Sarah Highlen
Agreed this is awful. The overview tab serves no purpose for our team with the way we use clickup, so it just creates extra clutter and confusion for new people.
(What makes this worse is Overview is one of several non-optional screens we have to tell people to ignore because they're useless and confusing. Home and Docs hub are also problems.)
Jana Michelová
Sarah Highlen Absolutely! It goes this way:
Me: "So you click on the folder, it opens, then you wanna ignore this "overview" and go to the "list" to see the actual work. Always remember to click on the list, so you are not confused you don't see the work".
Them: "Wait, what? Why ignore? What is it? Oh, I see..."
