Users are discussing where to find the moderation flags controls in Discourse 3.3.0.beta3. mcdanlj and rahim123 initially couldn’t locate the feature, unaware it was hidden behind the experimental admin sidebar. Heliosurge and Lilly clarify that enabling the experimental admin sidebar is required, which is now the default navigation but not yet enforced. HAWK provides a screenshot showing the feature under the Community group in the new sidebar. The discussion highlights that the new interface reorganizes admin settings for better UX, though some users find the transition challenging. mcdanlj notes that the feature was hidden behind a setting they had forgotten existed, emphasizing the importance of enabling the admin sidebar to access the new moderation flags controls.
So sorry, but I’m not finding anything that looks like that, anywhere. Is there some navigation setting that’s required for that feature to be visible?
I would have thought that a new headline feature wouldn’t be hidden behind an experimental feature that I had honestly forgotten existed and wasn’t the default, but now I have that enabled and am now wondering what else I’ve been missing.
Try enabling it. The team’s plan is to eventually retire the old current one for the sidebar.
On mobile a minor issue is an extra step to get to the Admin panel.
After enabling. Open sidebar click on admin as normal. You will see the dashboard page. Re open Sidebar and it will be the Admin version as @HAWK posted SS.
With the Admin Sidebar this new Moderation Flag is the only new new feature that I have observed
Primarily the Admin Sidebar has been more reorganizing the UX flow to in theory be smoother and easier for new Admins.
It is pretty decent but like anything when you have long time used an interface. Does take some getting used to. Other then the caveat I mentioned it is decent upgrade.
The same was done with the old Hamburger Menu. Imagine in a ln update or so will force the change.
I am hoping you can still direct link to sections like before in things like custom user menu had shortcuts to things like appearance.. or adds a favourites pop out menu.
