It would be very convenient to have the ability to have subfolders. I use folders for classifying projects. For example, Projects would be a Folder name. 2019 Projects would be a Subfolder name.

add back feature to pin favorites to the top menu in 4.0

ClickUp 4.0 removed the dedicated Favorites item from the left Navigation bar. Previously, Favorites were always one click (or hover) away and acted like a focused "quick access" list. Now Favorites are effectively buried under Home (hover/expand), mixed in with a bunch of other Home content. That makes it slower to navigate and less scannable, especially for users who rely on Favorites as their primary way to jump between Spaces/Lists/Docs. Request: Please add Favorites back as a dedicated Navigation item, or at minimum make Favorites an option in Navigation customization so users/admins can pin it to the left sidebar. Why it matters: Favorites are a core workflow accelerator. Making them a sub-menu under Home increases friction for frequent context switching.

It would be very helpful to have the ability to choose the width of the sidebar. The current width is based on English and fits the words exactly, but it becomes compressed or visually unbalanced in other languages. Ideally, the sidebar should be adaptable or offer at least three width options in the settings: Thin, Medium, and Wide. This would improve usability and overall aesthetics, preventing the interface from looking squeezed.

So I received the forced update from 3.0 to 4.0 -- and all of my bookmarked "favorite" items have completely destroyed the system, I had to go back and rename everything as my favorite "nicknames" overrode the original names. Now I realize in 4.0 you cannot rename a favorite without renaming the entire item for everyone. Can we please add this back from 3.0 into the new 4.0 version? Not sure the category, as "favorites" is not listed, so hopefully sidebar puts me in the right place. Thanks!

Renaming favorites is essential because lists don’t always have descriptive names. For example: The space is called “Acme” The list is called “Tech” “Tech” is a very common list name across many spaces. As a result, I end up with multiple favorites named “Tech,” and I can’t tell them apart. I’m genuinely surprised this feature was removed. Because of this alone, I can’t switch to 4.0. It would be instant chaos among the team the moment we move to 4.0. Our ClickUp teammates absolutely love having favorites at the top, with custom naming.

[From support ticket] see example:

Feature to sort is great, however, when a new items is added (e.g. new folder to a space) it does not automatically sort it into the correct order, it just adds it to the bottom of the list and you have to reselect the 'sort' option. Can this be automated if you have already selected a sorting option - any new items should just automatically resort

I suggest a layout that allows users to set the Spaces in alphabetically order

I would like the ability to make tags specific to workspace, space, or lists. My company currently has "Industrial" and "Construction" under a Major Sales space that we report out of. The ability for all of the Industrial relevant tags to not have to be shown in the Construction list and vise versa would clean things up a ton.
