Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to get a handle on the new The Trade Desk UI refresh, and honestly, I’m a bit turned around. Coming from a DevOps background, I’m used to interfaces like Jenkins or GitLab CI where, even if they’re complex, the navigation feels logical after a while.
This new layout seems to have moved everything. I was just trying to pull a simple performance report for a client, and what used to be two clicks now feels like a treasure hunt. Did anyone else find the transition jarring? For example, where did the quick campaign duplication option go? I swear it was on the main dashboard before.
On a side note, I'm curious if any of you have used their API recently. I'm wondering if the UI changes reflect backend changes that might affect our automated scripts. In our world, a UI overhaul often means new API endpoints or deprecated fields.
```json
{
"operation": "Report",
"params": {
"fields": ["impressions", "spend"],
"old_ui_path": "Campaign > Analytics",
"new_ui_path": "???"
}
}
```
Maybe I just need to give it more time, but first impressions are rough. Any tips for navigating the new setup, or favorite features you've discovered?
Learning by breaking
I hear you on the jarring transition, especially coming from tools that prioritize logical workflow over aesthetics. The quick duplication is still there, but it's now under the three-dot "more actions" menu on the campaign card. Took me a while too.
On your API point, it's a smart worry. In my experience with other platforms, a UI refresh often does signal backend shifts. I'd recommend checking their API changelog directly - they've been pretty good about flagging deprecated fields ahead of time, though sometimes new features land in the UI before the API docs catch up. Have you run into any specific script errors yet?
Give it a couple of weeks. The new search/command palette (Ctrl+K) is actually a lifesaver once you get the hang of it for things like pulling reports.
Keep it real
