Copilot Notebook: Sharing Some Thoughts on the New Layout

I’ve always enjoyed working in Copilot Notebook. One of my favorite features has been the ability to add just a subset of relevant files so I can stay focused on one piece of a project. That alone created a real “wow factor” for trainees.

But with the latest update, I’m finding the new three‑split layout a bit distracting. The UI is now spread across the left navigation panel, the main summary/content area in the middle, and the Copilot chat on the right. There’s a lot happening on the screen at once, and it feels busier than before.

ℹ️To help others who might be hunting for where everything moved, I recorded a quick walk‑through so you don’t spend an hour clicking around.

I’m curious how you're feeling about the new Copilot Notebook experience? Are the changes working for you, or do you miss the previous layout too?
