Please let us know what you think!

Starting this in the General section to allow threaded responses and kudos and all that.

Would you prefer if products opened in a new browser tab? We do this on search results pages - it helps a user keep their place on the page.

There was some discussion about this internally, but I don't remember where we left off.

For now, if you go to the second or third page the website URL will contain a bit like "&pg=2" or "&pg=14". This is your page number modifier - change the number and you can jump to any page you want. There's actually less scrolling this way.

FYI for anybody else out there, I found an even easier workaround. Just click over to collections and then back to products. That puts you at the first page of products again - of course it is ordered by newest, but that's usually what I'm after when I want to reset after reviewing recent sales/views.

Can we get the "how many results per page" to default to whatever we select? Sort of how we have a tick box to show us the details on products and can pick and choose which to show automatically below them? Can we tick a box to show how many results per page we want to see on the back end by default and it stay selected? So instead of  just 24 results we can have 96 or whatever they are... ?

I've submitted this idea to the team for consideration.

I would like to see a new tab browser tab for the products.

Yesterday, I saw 7 products across, and today there are 4 products. Overall it does have a cleaner look.

For sure, definitely a new browser tab! Everything else looks good for me.

Hi Scott and the entire UI team. The Zazzle platform has the best design tools and you keep making it better and better: shapes, masking, groups. The new ProximaNova typeface looks great, except maybe the number 11.

One feature I miss was the ability to choose a department in the backend and then switch between My Stores and stay in the same department. E.g.: Choose Wedding department in one store, then use the pull-down menu to switch stores and stay in the Weddings department. Same with store categories. Having the Sort stay the same when switching pages and stores would also be convenient.

Another feature request is the option to get an email when customers use chat so we can all respond quicker.

Agree that having the departments sidebar float down the page would be convenient, as per Barbara "menu on the left scrolled independently of the thumbs so it's available no matter where a person is on the page."

The Edit Design link, in the Manage Your Design pull-down, can be removed because it's repeated below in the blue button. It's too easy to click on it by mistake in the pull down (instead of Edit Details) which opens a new saved design that needs to be deleted.

The text in the Actions Box can be smaller than everything else to fit all the choices.

Long ago, the Edit Details dialog box was moveable by grabbing the top, and the page below the dialog box was scrollable, which was convenient (to see tags at the bottom that aren't linked while editing).

Thanks again.

Sure, that's good.

Everything is great. The images on the page were HUGE on my screen, but I finally learned how to set the resolution on my browser. For anyone who may have been having the same issue as I was, this is how I did it: (I am using Microsoft Edge)

Open to your store backend page. Go to the three dots at the top right of screen. You will see the word "Zoom" in the dropdown box. There will be a + and a - sign. Simply press the one you want until you get the desired view. It's that simple. I may have been the only one who didn't know this, but just in case there is someone out there like me, I thought I'd share how I did it. 

The store looks great! Thanks to Mark and to everyone who have been working on this. 👍
