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

Users can now resize the sidebar based on their preference and workflow needs.
This allows teams to:
