Hello Penpot community!

I have a proposal for a slight UI improvement of Penpot’s dashboard, and it involves importing a penpot file.

Next to the “New project” button, you should place an “Import file”. It is quite frustrating to search for a button that is hidden behind a menu (behind the dots).

From the example attached, place a primary action/button (“ **+ New project** ”)in the colors of the app, and a secondary action next to it (“ **Import project file** ” or “ **Import file** ”).

Hope more people agree with this UI change, but simple things like these help users feel more comfortable while using the app.

Best regards!

I totally agree with this **suggestion**!  
Also, when we have multiple **projects and libraries** , the dashboard can get _quite messy_. It would be great if we could adjust the size of project components—making them bigger or smaller—or separate projects and libraries into different sections, maybe using horizontal scrolling or sticky parts. This way, it would be easier to manage everything neatly.

Thanks!
