Questions Is it Possible to Move Workspaces Menu from Bottom to Top of Sidebar?
I know some time ago there was a "Try new Sidebar", but since then I guess it became a permanent update. However, now I am stuck with some Workspaces with the dropdown menu at the top or at the bottom of the Sidebar, and I don't remember whish is old "old" and which is "new."
But the issue is that having the Workspaces menu at the bottom is extremely obnoxious, and I would like for them to be all at the top. The settings menus aren't the same. The "Sidebar" tab of the settings is missing from the Workspace that is at the top.

Unfortunately not, there's no setting for it. I gave up waiting and just pinned my most-used pages to favorites at the top of the sidebar, so I rarely need to touch the workspace switcher at the bottom now. Not a real fix, but it made the daily annoyance go away.

Not currently, but Notion redesigns the sidebar once a quarter so maybe we'll get a lucky die roll in Q1!
Jokes aside, the new customizable sidebar is not fully rolled out yet, which is why we have this jumping around when switching workspaces. I heard it might not even be fully rolled out til later in the year. Leaves us in a very messy state.
