@MartinRosenberg Welcome to the forum!
Your comment brings up many good points, but also promulgates some misunderstandings. Please see below for comments/clarifications:
The option to move an item to a collection was previously accessed from a “Move to Organization” link on the “View Item” page. In the new UI, this action is named “Assign to Collections”, and is available in the overflow menu (kebab icon) already on the “Vault” tab. Personally, I think that most or all of the actions in the overflow menu should also be duplicated on either the “View Item” or “Edit Item” page, so that one doesn’t have to backtrack if the item has been opened. There is a lot of room at the bottom of the “View” and “Edit” pages where additional buttons/icons could be placed.
the dropdown is present, but always grayed out.
This is actually a new feature (although I agree that presenting it as a dropdown is confusing; the selector arrow should be omitted). Previously, it was impossible to identify the item owner (without using the vault filter). In the new UI, this information is displayed when opening the “Edit Item” page.
I think it’s a mixed bag. There should either be a user-settable time-out, so that persistence only lasts if the extension is re-opened within X minutes, or they should provide a Home button to allow a quick return to the main Vault view — or both.
The only time I don’t want this is if I was in the middle of editing an item (which was really my only complaint about the old UI, and is the only thing this redesign improved).
Well, I have bad news for you: the current implementation of the persistence feature is only a bookmark — it does not retain any changes made to the state of the bookmarked page, including unsaved changes made while editing. Hopefully the current persistence feature is still a work-in-progress, with plans to implement a true peristent state in the future.
Somehow, even though everything is smaller, it also manages to take up more room.
Yes, good observation. I think that the issue is with the new font selection (DM Sans?), which has an unusually reduced height for lowercase letters only. Thus, there is no savings in vertical space efficiency (because uppercase letters still need to be accommodated), and having the lowercase letters be at the same height as previously will take up a lot of horizontal space.
Turning standard radio buttons into tabs is confusing and pointless.
What are you referring to here? The password generator interface?
The tiny Fill button instead of using the whole item as a fill button is significantly worse
I think this is debatable (see counterarguments here).
The fact that an item can’t be deleted from the Edit screen is just silly.
Agreed! Previously, the Delete function was available both on the “View Item” page and on the “Edit Item” page. If it will only fit on one of those two pages, it would make more sense to put the delete function on the “Edit” page.
