Undo the removal of "App Services" from the header

Hello,
Recently there was a strange change inside the UI. The App listing link at the header was removed:

Now we need to open triggers etc. first before we can access the Apps Listing … Why was this done? This is a total anti-pattern since an extra click is needed.
The header isn’t even overloaded so that the removal would be justified in any way. So please revent this anti-UX change.
Thanks!

Yeah. Agreeed. Revert it…

Hi @Daniel_Bebber1, we are working towards a more unified experience for all Atlas services, which is why App Services have been moved to be accessible within each service through the “View All Apps” button.

Attaching a screenshot below. The View All Apps button will bring you to the Apps Landing page and the Linked App Service will bring you directly into the app for any Triggers created on the Data Services page.

Hi @Laura_Zhukas1, thank you for your response. I know how to reach that overview and that is not my issue. As you can see inside the forums nobody understands what “a more unified experience” should even mean.
It seems like it is “hiding crutial overviews behind some other pages”. You performed a 100% anti-user experience change here. Now I have to perform extra clicks just to get to an overview that was easily reachable since years - thanks for nothing.
Also in reply to your screenshot. See that part at the header I marked? There is so much free space now why the heck would it even be remotely logical to remove a simple link that is shown there? How could somebody sit in a meeting, suggest that and nobody said “Wait, does this make sense?”. How can a company that provides tools for developers be so hardcore against developers. It is sad, it will drive customers away (since you destroyed our trust anyway with removing most useful functions of Atlas next year anyway).

I am sad that MongoDB has turned into a company like this, and it is a shame that there are employees in the forum trying the justify such decisions.

If there would’ve only been a solution requiring only one click…
