I do not like the recent change to the chart/treatment planning page on dentally.

Previously when linking appointments, it was fast and easy, done from a drop down menu. but now when linking it is slowed down by a pop up window. The window also blurs the background page and it is painful for my eyes.

Also, when an appointment is linked, it displays the old chain link icon. But when an appointment is not linked, that icon is changed to a calendar. Having the icon change is very confusing… Particularly because the position of the icon also changes. 

I do not feel like this was a necessary change and implementing cosmetic changes like this negatively impacts useability.

To add to this, a lot of the chart buttons and features are now hidden behind extra context menus which I find to make navigating and using the treatment section very clunky. 

Clone, Add, Delete, Rename, these were all just visible and easy to click previously. Now hidden behind a three dot button. 

Cannot even figure out how to move item codes onto a different appointment in the treatment plan anymore as the button appears to be missing entirely…

This is a major change that has happened to how the treatment planning part of dentally functions. Has there been any kind of tutorial video or article made for navigating these changes?
