Folio 0.4.3: a calmer interface, redesigned after your feedback

You told us the sidebar looked uneven, the header was crowded and some things were hard to find. Folio 0.4.3 reworks the app chrome to answer that. Nothing was removed: things moved, and a one-time set of small tags shows where.

What changed

• Sidebar. Every page has an icon, all in one column, and the expand arrow is always visible on the right. Search, with its ⌘K shortcut, is the first row, and the tree sits under a Pages label.
• Header. The timer, history and notifications stay in view, and Share is a labelled button. Export, page access, compare and writing rules are in the "⋯" menu.
• Properties. They sit under the page title, behind a "+ Property" button.
• Right panel. One bordered column. Local graph, Outline, Notes and To-do collapse by their headers. Graph depth is a "Links" menu: direct, plus neighbours, or plus one more step.
• To-do panel. It collects every to-do line of the page, can be filtered by assignee, and a click jumps to the line and highlights it.

Where did it go?

• Search: first row of the sidebar.
• Export, Page access, Compare, Writing rules: the "⋯" menu in the header.
• Properties: under the page title.
