The new slide menu is AWFUL! Is there any way to use the old flyout menu instead?

The new sliding menu is TERRIBLE!  Now for getting to some reports I have to click through four or five menus instead of just mousing over and accessing it directly!

Is there any way of just using the old menu UI??

    Agreed. After a few weeks it's still unbearable, and to further other points and quote Pirates of The Caribbean reports "cannot be found except by those who already know where it is."

    Massive misstep, bring back the old menu structure and add in the search function (although I think it was already there).

    Bad form Adobe. Bad form.

    Completely agree. Created an Adobe Account just to chime in on this.

    I  can't add anything new to what has been said here.

    Basically, the UEX is terrible. Designer may have thought it was slick and cool, but obviously, as it has been stated previously, they don't spend much time with SC.

    Agreed!  This takes a very intuitive layout and makes it very confusing.  Really wish I had the option to revert back to the flyout menu.  The flyout menu allowed me to be in one report and run a new report with a single click - now it takes 10 clicks!  The new slide menu also hides the report names until you get to them, and with over 100 reports it's impossible to keep track of them or where they're located.  This makes it very difficult for all our users to find what they're looking for - especially the new or light users.  Overall, not happy with this particular change.

      Oh and if Adobe tells me again that their fancy search bar is the answer, I'll say not if you really customize your implementation. Certain dimensions and classifications, applied to many variables, just makes search results impossible to use and the same text can be found on dozens of variables / reports.

      I have to agree that now it's very frustrating to click every time on the menu to go forward or backward. Yes, it takes so much time to find the right metrics or reports (with different menu structures).

      Ben Gaines from Adobe wrote a tip that we should start using the search. At first, I didn't like the idea, because I have learned to use my mouse to navigate and search what I'm looking for. Anyway, I tried the search few times and now I'm addicted to use it. I didn't realize how fast and useful it would be. Now I find my metrics/reports in a heartbeat, love it! So the new navigation system isn't a problem to me anymore. Don't click it, search it. :)

      EDIT:
      And the official tip and info related to this from Adobe:
      Navigation search was enhanced to search all menus from anywhere in the interface, including favorites and admin tools. A search hotkey was added, you can press the slash key '/' to quickly jump to the search field.

        Hi
        How about using search navigation?
        It needs only to type report name into the form.

        Agreed. Site Catalyst has never had a great UI, but this is a huge step backward.

        I'm totally agree with above comment, new navigation is more unusable. Before this release you could see the logic paths and was more visual, I'm sure that you can make new menu which allowed navigate across Adobe Marketing tools and also more usable navigation,

        Many Thanks,

        Julià.
