Summary

GitHub has introduced updates to improve the user experience with GitHub Projects by addressing issues related to project automation and issue tracking. Previously, automation caused moved issues to appear at the top of lists, disrupting column prioritization; now, issues moved via automation or the inline sidebar are placed at the bottom of their destination column, while "Done" automation triggers continue to move issues to the top. Additionally, the issue sidebar has been updated to better display project information and closed projects are now collapsed by default to keep the focus on relevant details. Users can also change an issue's project column directly from the issue page without navigating away. These changes aim to create a smoother workflow and feedback is encouraged for further improvements.
