Many thanks, will try again.
…Scrolled way down, found it. Cumbersome indeed!
Can I be a further pain and ask where Radio or Handsfree is, or is it only on the App?
Cheers all!
Hi everyone,
quick question, is there a way to still access the consolidate progress on the fluency fast track ? I appreciated to see the overall % completion and launch the learning progress from there.
Thank you!
I like the new dashboard. The first look of it was somewhat ugly because I had a jumble of old collections I worked on before amplified in scale by a new dashboard setting. I just unpinned all that clutter and left the current collection I am working on. I am not sure I could unpin that clutter in the old dashboard , but that amplified scale made me do it and I am happy with the new look.
Also big thank you for the “explain” button on hands-free Clozemaster radio feature. Can’t imagine my daily walks without my Clozemaster radio. Now it enhanced by that very helpful button. Thanks again!
@mike, I was quite happy to see that the web UI now allows to pin/unpin collections, just like the app. I also like that the dropdown to select languages is dedicated for that purpose (no other menu items in there) and that it’s a bit more prominent.
Unfortunately I’ve lost my tab with a copy of the old dashboard, but I don’t recall having seen that in Web before. Also Mike’s original post in the announcement thread reads to me like it was only ever an app enhancement.

Ciao @LuciusVorenusX . Thanks for replying, and yes indeedy, you’re quite right, so my apologies, Mike, for overthinking. Already getting used to the new format, and this is still my favourite place.
Getting a little more used the new dashboard, the excitement I felt on the first day about the ability to unpin collections to focus on a few that I am actively working on, i.e., playing new sentences, isn’t there any more.
I realized that each time I review sentences from an unpinned collection, that collection gets pinned again which defeats the purpose. Would it be possible to have the unpin decision stick until user explicitly pins it again from the collections list? Any collection that I am only reviewing can easily be found from the Review section if there are any sentences to review, so it doesn’t need to be on the dashboard. I realize people might use the dashboard collection list differently. I was personally excited about seeing the progress charts for the target collections. (That is, assuming the long and thick play button gets resized.)

I agree that a link to the forum would be a perfect use of this prime real estate that’s currently fallow.
What I do like so far:
- Link to the Reading page
- Top portion of the dashboard. I find it much easier to read.

I’ve noticed that the new language list has become more like the old one. Now it’s easier to read!
Thanks @mike !

Yea agreed that’s annoying. What do you think of “Review All” only loads sentences ready for review from pinned collections?

I am no longer able to find the download button under my favorites in order to download my favorite sentences to a file? Any help?
Hi @Mike! What happen to my dashboard? I have a blank screen. Can’t use the Clozemaster. It’s funny that just two days ago I said I loved it. Well, nothing to love today. Please help.
@CLD92 we’ve removed that feature for now, sorry. How were you using it?
@barcarolle sorry about that! What browser and OS are you using?
All good now. Thanks!
The use of the download option for Favorites was mentioned a couple of days ago in this comment by @LuciusVorenusX -
A specific process using the Favorites download button when moving sentences between collections was laid out in this thread (oooooh, look, it was written by me! 
) -
Now, in my particular case I would be more than happy (elated 
, overjoyed 
etc.) if a bulk copy-to-collection button were added on the Manage Collections pane (currently copy-to-collection has to be done one sentence at a time).
Such a bulk copy-to-collection button could easily replace (and be a much better solution) for the use case that I highlighted in that old thread.
So, would that be an option that you could implement instead @mike ?
I can think of other reasons where I might to want to download sentences and then upload them again with modifications into a new collection, so a download option might still be useful (e.g. bulk editing of sentences could be much quicker by using the download/upload option with external editing/scripting even when Clozemaster has the facilities to make the same edits).
Perhaps @CLD92 has a different use case.
P.S.
I realise that previously we were downloading/uploading sentences that were not proprietary as they were sourced from Tatoeba, and that now with the new FFT you have proprietary content (intellectual property) of which you may be quite protective. Therefore, whilst I am loathe to see a facility such as the Favorites download disappear, I am looking for alternatives that might fit in with your business model, such as a bulk copy-to-collection button (mmmm, now did I by any chance mention a bulk copy-to-collection button previously somewhere in this message ? 
).
P.P.S.
I may even have mentioned a bulk copy-to-collection button somewhere before -
By the way @mike, is there any possibility that the Manage Sentences button (the hamburger icon) for the individual collections could be returned to being a first-class button/icon for each collection, rather than being buried under the “…” icon ?
As Manage Sentences is the search facility for each collection, I use that facility all the time, and judging by posts in this forum, so do many other people (e.g. I was delighted to see that you recently added the ability to search by “Marked as Known”, which is one such example of you responding to people using that facility).
I liked how it was before 
I was hoping we would get a review collection button added to the top of each collection, but now I can’t even see all the collections and my progress in them. If there was too much clutter before I think making each collection collapsible with would have fixed that.
IMO the stretched out mobile-type look is also awkward and makes poor use of space. I think it would be a bit better if instead of having “Play” across the whole screen, it had “play” and “review” options for each set. I’ve always found it odd and annoying that I can’t just review the section I’m looking at, I have to instead click review from the top of the page and choose the section I want.

That’s an interesting solution, except that I was reviewing these sentences not from the “review all” option but actually selecting the collection to review them from the “Ready to review” box. I suppose I might not be the norm, but I wanted to only pin the collections from which I was learning new words. And anything that I have completely “played” and only has review to do, I only want to access them from the “Ready to review” box and not from the general dashboard.
In short, I was imagining a more static dashboard that’s driven solely by my decision to pin or unpin to the dashboard.
One suggestion for those collections that automatically get pinned to the dashboard that have no new sentences to play - to turn the “play” button into “review” button. Currently it shows a grayed out play button, so it’s really not help to have them pinned to the dashboard. If I can at least directly review those collection with one button from dashboard, then I can see some value in having them pinned.
