Hi there,

I would like to share a detailed review of the most recent PandaDoc updates, specifically regarding navigation between folders while editing documents and catalog items.

After the latest update, I noticed that whenever I close a document I am editing, the system automatically redirects me back to the main folder of the workspace — instead of returning to the exact folder where that document is stored. This behavior significantly disrupts the workflow. If I am editing a document inside a specific folder, it is because I am working on a sequence of files within that same structure. Being sent back to the main directory forces me to repeatedly navigate through multiple layers of folders just to return to the workspace I was already in. This adds unnecessary steps and slows down the entire process.

The same issue occurs inside the Catalog. I organize my items by folders and subfolders, and when I finish editing a product, instead of remaining in the same folder to continue working on related items, I am again taken back to the start of the Catalog structure. This interrupts the logic of editing grouped items and makes the update workflow considerably more time-consuming.

I also noticed that the Content Library is now located inside the Templates section. While we are adapting to this new structure, it is not intuitive for our use case. The Content Library is part of the document-building process, not the template-building process, and having to open Templates → then open the Content Library → then navigate again through all subfolders has added multiple extra steps to a workflow that used to be straightforward. Additionally, the same navigation issue happens there: when closing an item, the system sends us back to the top-level folder instead of keeping us inside the folder we were working in.

For teams like ours, who work with dozens of documents, products, and content items every week, these changes have had a noticeable impact on productivity. Returning to the previous behavior — where the system keeps the user inside the same folder after closing a document, a catalog item, or a content block — would restore efficiency and eliminate unnecessary navigation time.

Could you please let me know if this behavior is expected or if there is a planned adjustment to bring back the previous folder logic?
I would really appreciate your feedback on this so we can understand the next steps.

Thank you in advance and looking forward to your response.
