I have the current version of the feature enabled. I think it’s great as is! My questions are geared towards calling attention to proposed future changes that will remove functionality that already exists, and I currently depend on. I think you’ve proposed removing the favorites section.
Since the sidebar changes are a part of every day use small increases in friction become big pains day after day. Maybe it would help if I reframed my questions?
Why is the goal to remove an existing function at all? Why can’t we have both “My Items” and “Hidden for me”? What about the current iteration is bad? Do the future changes improve the situation? I want to point out that it makes things worse for more complex users.
The ability to have favorites as a shortcut for work management is a ubiquitous feature. It’s best practice in personal work management is to keep this strategically small/targeted to current goals.
