Why are labels now hide on confluence pages behinde another mouse click?

[Sebastian]

What is the reason that the labels on Confluence pages are now hidden behind a mouse click? In my opinion, this reduces the speed and efficiency of Confluence.

Hi @Sebastian I understand your feeling and frustration and I agree. This is unnecessary and slows down productivity.

@Sebastian This is part of Atlassian's new navigation, which has apparently been rolled out to your instance. For more information, refer to the following pages (and further pages linked on those):

• https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Confluence-articles/Confluence-s-new-navigation-is-here/ba-p/2958741 
• https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-is-the-new-navigation-in-confluence/ 

There are also multiple related articles and discussions in the community.

Hi Barbara

There is nothing written about "Labels" on these both pages.

@Sebastian Sorry, I guess this falls under the new UI, rather than the new navigation. This post by @Kristian Klima might help you out: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Confluence-articles/Adding-and-displaying-labels-in-new-Confluence-UI-and-Navigation/ba-p/3023541

Atlassian experiments with the layout, design and functionality of Confluence.  Probably they think it's easier for users?

an additional mouse click - is not easier - anyway - thank you.
