We heard you: the gear list editor had too much going on. Settings, sharing tools, embed codes, and your actual item list were all competing for attention on the same page. So we tore it apart and rebuilt it around one idea — your items come first.
Sticky Header Bar
The new editor opens with a compact header bar that stays pinned to the top of the screen as you scroll. Your Save button is always one click away, the publish toggle is right there, and quick-action links (View, Analytics, Share) sit beside them. No more scrolling back to the top to hit Save.
Collapsible List Settings
All of your list metadata — title, description, category, cover image, video URL, slug, layout, background color — now lives inside a collapsible List Settings panel. Click to open it when you need it; collapse it when you don't. Inside, fields are organized into three clean groups: Basic Info, Media, and Appearance. Set it once and forget about it.
Collapsible Share & Export
Share links, embed codes, and YouTube Description Export used to be scattered across the page. Now they're consolidated into a single Share & Export panel with tabbed sections — Share, Embed, and YouTube Export — all in one place. Open the panel, grab what you need, and collapse it again.
Section Selector When Adding Items
If your list uses sections (like "Power Tools" and "Hand Tools"), you can now pick which section a new item lands in before you add it. A dropdown in the Add Items card lets you choose the target section, and it remembers your last selection so you can batch-add items to the same section without re-picking every time.
Improved Pending Item Preview
When you paste a product URL and it's being scraped, the pending item card now shows clearly labeled areas for Image, Title, and Description so you can see exactly what was pulled. A distinct footer bar separates the preview from the action buttons, making the whole card easier to scan.
Header That Fits
On narrow screens, the Edit List header used to wrap awkwardly. That's fixed — the title, status badge, and action links now stack cleanly on smaller viewports.
Try It Out
Head to your dashboard and open any gear list to see the new editor in action. Everything you're used to is still there — it's just organized better so you can focus on what matters: curating great gear.
