UX Suggestion: Folder tree expand behavior and active path retention

New

Hi team,

I’d like to suggest an improvement regarding how the folder tree navigation handles expanding and collapsing.

Currently, when navigating nested folders (e.g., Folder 1 / 1.1 / 1.2 and Folder 2 / 2.1 / 2.2), clicking a top-level folder works as expected. However, we run into two issues deeper in the flow:

  1. Auto-expanding irrelevant folders: Clicking a specific subfolder causes all other main folders and their subfolders to automatically expand. With multiple projects, this creates a lot of clutter and makes navigation confusing.
  2. Loss of active folder state: While working on a board, the sidebar hides nicely. But upon re-opening the menu to switch tasks, the folder tree completely collapses back to its default state instead of keeping the current location open.

Expected behavior:

  • Selecting a subfolder should only expand that specific active branch, keeping unrelated main folders collapsed.
  • Re-opening the navigation panel should remember and automatically expand the active folder path where the current board is located.

This would make working with deeper folder structures much smoother.
