The recent updates of how to add sections to web pages has created new user experience issues:
Adding Content: Web designers or content teams are typically the ones creating new web pages. Having different methods and places to add content to a web page is confusing. Most web themes have pre-built sections for users to quickly spin up web pages as well as custom modules. Why would you put these things in 2 different places? From a user persepective, they want to add content to a page. Clicking the + to add content and then selecting the type of content is a better workflow.
Section Search: you removed the search function from the sections, so now users have to scroll through to find the section they want vs being able to search for something like “spec table” and be able to add it quickly.
Section Descriptions: you removed the descriptions for the sections, leaving users with only a short heading and image to determine if this is what they want. When your theme has many variations of a section, having the description helps add context of when to use one over another. Please put this back.
Thanks for sharing this detailed feedback, these are all valid UX concerns that many in the community may resonate with, especially teams working with modular themes and frequent page builds.
