Either add back the boxes for each workspace on the left sidebar or create an option to choose the “drop-down view” or “icon view”
It seems small but it takes so much more time to go to the drop down and scroll through all the workspaces to find the one you need. It is so much more convenient to choose the icons on the side like before and then be able to drag and drop them in the order that works best for you. Ex. A company may have 20+ workspaces they need access to but someone only uses 3 of them regularly.
