We’ve redesigned the EasySLR sidebar to make better use of available screen space and create a cleaner, more efficient workflow experience.

The updated layout removes unnecessary empty spaces across the interface, allowing users to utilize more of the screen for actual review activities such as screening, PDF review, and data extraction.

What’s Improved?

Better Utilisation of Screen Space

The interface has been optimised to eliminate unused and unnecessary empty areas, ensuring that more content is visible on the screen at all times.

Key Enhancements

Adjustable Sidebar Size

Users can now resize the sidebar based on their preference and workflow needs.

This allows teams to:

• Expand workspace visibility while reviewing articles

• Customise the layout according to screen size and workflow stage

Cleaner & More Compact Navigation

Navigation sections have been reorganised to reduce clutter while keeping all major workflow stages easily accessible.

Users can quickly move between:

• Search & Import

• Screening

• Full-Text Review

• Data Extraction

• Quality Appraisal

• Statistics & Reports

• Project Settings

without large unused gaps or excessive spacing.

More Workspace for Core Review Activities

This is especially beneficial for teams working on laptops or smaller screens

Reduced Visual Clutter

The redesigned structure creates a cleaner interface with:

• Better spacing consistency

• Improved alignment

• More efficient content organisation

• Fewer distractions during long review sessions

Improved Experience Across Devices

The optimised layout improves usability across:

• Laptops

• Smaller monitors

• Split-screen workflows

• High-volume evidence synthesis projects

while making better use of every available part of the screen.
