Thank you so much for sharing your feedback on the toolbar updates. Over time, we’ve addressed most of the points raised, and all the toolbar improvements we’ve shared and released are listed here.
Since this thread includes multiple ideas, some of which have already been addressed, it’s challenging to respond to each one individually or determine which topics need further attention. To keep the forum organized, we’ll be closing this topic for now.
If you have multiple ideas and would like them to be actionable, we recommend sharing them in separate threads (1 feature request = 1 thread). This helps other community members discover, discuss, and vote on ideas, and allows us to better understand which improvements are most important to you. We also recommend checking for similar existing ideas and adding your vote to strengthen them.
Please also review the forum for existing similar ideas and add your vote to consolidate feedback.
Once a feature goes live, we’ll update the relevant thread, and you’ll receive an email notification from the portal.
We look forward to hearing your ideas!

I can see why some users will enjoy the new Beta Toolbar but its removed vital functionality from before. Previously when the pen tool was selected, many colours were visible at once along with stroke widths which allowed for faster switching when writing. In Beta, when the pen tool is selected, switching takes extra precious seconds which cumulatively slows down workflow and makes writing clunkier. In general, there is less customization available now! The timer tool is removed and I'm not able to add/remove which features I want displayed on my toolbar. Less power to the user is less fun
