Layout Redesign: Tabs, Containers, and Workspace Navigation

A major layout update bringing tabbed navigation, improved containers, and a redesigned sidebar for better workspace organization.

What Changed

BrainBox's layout has been completely redesigned for better organization and navigation.

Tabbed Interface

  • Open multiple documents in tabs
  • Drag tabs to reorder
  • Pin frequently used tabs
  • Preview tabs for quick viewing

    • Container System

  • Dedicated containers for different content types
  • Space containers for organized workspaces
  • Smooth transitions between views

    • Sidebar Redesign

  • Cleaner hierarchy
  • Better workspace switching
  • Improved visual feedback

    • Why It Matters

    A well-designed layout helps you work faster. Tabs let you keep context while switching between documents, and the new container system keeps everything organized.

    Migration Notes

    Your existing layout preferences have been preserved where possible. Some customizations may need to be reconfigured.
