# New features

### New OKRs experience

We’re excited to introduce a brand-new **OKR Overview** page experience, offering greater flexibility and efficiency in managing your objectives and key results. This update includes a redesigned table, advanced filtering, saved views, and enhanced customization options.

### Get started

When you open the **OKR Overview** page, a dialog will prompt you to opt in to the new experience or stay on the old one.

> 📝 You can also enable or disable the new experience under **Settings **> **General**.

### What’s new?

#### 1. Fully customizable OKRs table

The new table structure provides greater control over how data is displayed:

- Drag and drop columns to create a view that works best for you.
- Reorder OKRs by dragging and dropping them vertically, allowing for a more intuitive arrangement compared to the previous arrow-based system.
- Adjust column widths based on your needs.
- Use the **Tree layout** to expand all OKRs and view their full structure at once, or collapse them for a more condensed view. By clicking the **Save as new view **button, this setting can be saved as a custom view for future use.

**Column customization:**

- Using **Layout** > **Column** **layout**, you can change the column’s order easily by dragging and dropping.
- Use checkboxes to show or hide specific columns based on relevance.
- You can also lock/unlock columns to customize your view. Clicking the lock icon will stick (pin) columns to the left, keeping important data visible while scrolling horizontally.
- Under **Layout** > **Display settings**, you can:
  - Show or hide descendant and ascendant OKRs in filtered views.
  - Display connected Jira issues related to OKRs.
- Save different table layouts as custom views for quick access.

#### 2. Advanced filtering

Navigating OKRs is now faster and easier with new filtering:

- A single master period filter replaces the two separate filters used in the previous version.
- Column header filtering is now synchronized with the main filter, ensuring changes in one are reflected in the other.
- Predefined filters (such as OKR teams, owners, labels) are always visible, with additional filters available under **More filters** for deeper customization. In the new experience, you can still use column header filtering as in the old version.
  As filters are applied, the **Filters** button updates dynamically to display all active filters for easy reference.
- Clear all filters with a single click to reset to the *Default* view and start fresh.

#### 3. Enhanced saved views management

- The **View** dropdown on the left-hand side displays the current applied view, all saved views in the instance, and user favorites.
- Recently accessed views (up to 5) appear automatically, while clicking **Show more views** reveals additional saved views or allows searching for a specific one.
- When first opening the **OKR Overview** page, the **View** dropdown defaults to *Default*. As filters and layouts are adjusted, the label will change to *Not saved*.
- You can rename, edit, or delete saved views as needed. Additionally, modifying an existing saved view allows you to either overwrite it or save it as a new view.
- The **View **dropdown menu also allows users to:
  - Share saved views via direct links.
  - Edit the view’s name or remove it if no longer needed.
  - Favorite a view by clicking the star icon, making it easier to access later.

> ℹ️ Currently, saved views work on OKR Hierarchy, Timeline, or Progress Dashboard views in a test mode. We are actively seeking feedback on using this feature.

#### 4. Improved performance with on-demand loading

For better performance, items in the table now load dynamically as you scroll, instead of all at once.

- Only visible items are loaded, reducing wait times.
- Collapsed items' details remain hidden until expanded, further improving speed.

These improvements make navigating large OKR lists much faster, especially for instances with a high number of OKRs.

> ✅ Enable the new OKRs experience today to utilize the improved table, filtering, and customization options. We’d love to hear your feedback, so [reach out](https://appf.re/support) with any questions or suggestions!
