Anthropic Claude Desktop: Projects Get New Sidebar Spot

Anthropic is testing new layout changes for its Claude desktop app. This includes moving the toggle between Chat and Cowork modes to the top of the window. What's interesting is that projects may soon appear directly in the navigation sidebar. Users could then pin, sort, and customize them, making them one click away. This would be a meaningful shift for those managing many workspaces. Claude Code is also getting a dedicated projects section on the web for creating and customizing projects. These changes aim to make the desktop app central for deep work. However, Anthropic is known for experimenting, and these changes might not be permanent. This matters because it could significantly impact how users interact with the Claude app for their work.
