oh wow! that would be great. did it sound like they were doing for everyone?
As a designer, I’d love to be a fly on the wall at Shopify as it is slowly dawning on them that we are NOT getting used to it or growing to appreciate it. Probably a lot of “How can they not see how this is better.”
One thing I’d pass along to them, something that was drummed into our head in design school, is that you don’t get to argue with your product’s users. You don’t get to tell them that it’s their fault that they don’t appreciate your design work. There is simply no way that anyone would buy this new admin page to replace the previous one. Next time they need to run the new one as beta and if no one uses it, there you go. End of conversation. User buy-in is the ultimate proof as to whether your design has succeeded, not kudos from other developers, not your ability to fluff it up with designerly language in a launch video. Check your ego and trash this new admin design.
Blair,
Please convey to whomever is in charge of UX and UI that this “streamlining” is a massive fail that is universally hated by everyone. The old adage of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” seems to apply here. The old admin page was FAR superior this this one. The sorting method on the “tags” does not even stick now and this REALLY screws up my workflow. They broke it. Please fix.
Hi Steven,
Did they revert you back to the original admin page? I’m imagining that this is not something they can do for just one store.
Hello! Oh My GOODNESS Shopify!!! I don’t know WHAT whomever was thinking on this new uploading pictures update but heads should roll!! It ended up taking me around an hour to upload 44 pics for my newest product earlier today and disappointed is an understatement!! ? So, start choosing my pics which I arrange in a certain order for a reason, and BAM!, suddenly only 20 allowed at a time?!, not a huge ordeal as it actually makes them easier to rearrange if necessary because it was so awful anyways prior to the update. (Actually, I take that back! IT IS an ordeal as it still requires me to count pics, then count again, etc! I don’t and can’t take pics in the order they will be portrayed on my website.) I really try to just get in order while I’m choosing to avoid that whole mess in the first place. So, choose 20, go right back to add, choose 20, right back to add, choose 4. This is really bad period., EXCLAMATION POINT!, because it forced me to choose 20, literally have to go into my gallery and count the pics, write down the ones I’ve chosen, then on next 20, count and choose to avoid repeats and select the ones of 24 remaining! WHAT A MESS AND BEYOND FRUSTRATING!! Then, after downloaded, I select view all and WHAT?!..COMPLETELY out of order, NOTHING like the way I just spent 30 minutes of my precious time trying to accomplish?? SO!, delete 44 pics, rechoose 20, OH…I have to wait for these 20 to download SEPARATELY, before I can proceed to next 20!? Fantastic, more of my precious time, counting pics to establish what’s uploaded, what’s not, HUH?! Took me an HOUR! And even worse, once 20, then 20, then 4 were uploaded, view all and STILL NOT IN ORDER I SELECTED??? ? 
? Really now?? CMON!! I have tons of products with 60, 80, 150+ pics!! What the hizzle am I going to do on future products with 60, 80, 150+ pics!!! I want and will provide as many applicable pics as necessary as I sell as~is vintage found Home Decor and I want and NEED my customers, as well as myself, to have as many pics as possible and necessary so there’s absolutely NO to very little confusion, misunderstanding to the condition of the items they will be receiving all over The World 
physically unseen! Any types of Returns, Refunds are devastating and NEED to be avoided at all costs!! Not that it actually matters that My Biggest, Most Important Policy is ALL SALES FINAL!! But that’s a whole nother story! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE remedy this like pronto!! I completely understand updates have bugs and issues once installed, but how something so incredibly asinine gets past any type of trial or whatever previous to update release is beyond me?? PLEASE FIX. Or by all means, if you or anyone reading this has any suggestions to ease my pain, I’m all ears! Thank You very much! 
Appreciate your TIME and consideration! BOB) 
HELLO! Actually, one more thing! Problem for years now, (YEARS) have spoken to a couple reps about it and still no resolve. FIX the ‘contains’ ordeal which I’m about to explain. Today’s product a perfect example!! I sell End Tables. I want that Collection to have the word END in it. Today’s product were ChippENDale Chairs. I DO NOT want those in my End Tables Collection!! Do you see the problem?? What’s another… 
OH, how about BAR. BARstools should not be in BAR Collection. ART! ANY word that has ART in it goes to my Art Collection! ETC. ETC. ETC. There are TONS of them which I’ll happily share when I have more time. At first, didn’t really mind because I felt like customers were actually seeing other items they weren’t originally looking for, but I just have too many products and is really just outright sloppy now and way too many products in the wrong Collections. I’m very detail oriented, meticulous and it’s kind of getting to me! Thank You very much! Have a lovely Morning, Day, Evening! THX BOB)
WELL that’s FABULOUS!! LOVING your autosave feature as I just accidentally hit report instead of reply and thought I was about to have to type that all over again!! KUDOS on that little nugget!! 
@Blair any ACTUAL updates? you can see here that many people are upset. We are NOT going to forget about these horrible changes. Fix them NOW not 5 years from now. We are going into the busiest time of year and we need our dashboard back.
It seems like Shopify has just gotten too big and “Corporate Stupidity” has crept in. Start ups are nimble and smart and giant corporations who value money over all are just lumbering stupid behemoths.
Just wanted to come on and say how much I hate the new homepage. You have made it much harder to see the key metrics that matter to me by removing most of the info panels.
This all seems to be so you have more screen space to try and push products and services at me that I do not need or want. This is a huge backward step and the money and time your designers wasted doing this would have been better spent on giving us features we actually want.
Well, Shopify developers did it! They made the admin page even worse with even LESS useful at-a-glace information. Soon to come, the admin page with NO information, because . . . minimalism! Oh, yeah, the rounding of sales figures is not at all helpful.
It’s truly horrible. The dashboard page is USELESS.
