Dear MongoDB Team, I'm writing to provide feedback about MongoDB Compass interface changes. As a student learning MongoDB with 20+ classmates, we've noticed significant usability differences between versions. **Our Experience:** - We find MongoDB Compass version 1.43 (older version) more user-friendly than the current updated version - The frontend/UI design was more intuitive and practical for learning purposes - Specifically, the mongosh integration and button layout made database operations more accessible for beginners **Why the older version worked better for us:** 1. More intuitive button placement and navigation 2. Better integration between GUI and mongosh commands 3. Clearer visual hierarchy for learning database concepts 4. More practical workflow for educational use cases **Request:** Could you consider: - Bringing back some UI elements from version 1.43? - Providing a "Classic Mode" option for educational institutions? - Gathering more feedback from educational users before major UI changes? We appreciate MongoDB Compass as a learning tool and hope this feedback helps improve the user experience for students and educators. Best regards, Farid Hima Student at DCI Digital Career Institute
