Hi there, @jmiha,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the new forms interface. I understand the need for a more efficient way to review responses, especially when dealing with spam.
While the current setup requires you to click each entry individually to view its details, I understand you may be referring to the previous layout where a preview of each form submission appeared directly in the dashboard; is that correct?
The new interface provides a broader, more concise overview of all form entries. You can expand individual submissions on the right side of the screen to see more details. By selecting the “View” option for any entry, you can quickly scroll through and review the responses with minimal effort.

Is it what you find not very efficient?
If you have further suggestions or need assistance, please reply to this thread.
Thank you!

Yes, in your video, it shows you having to click on every single message to see the content, whereas the old view showed the message content without having to click. And I’ll give you the new view is “more concise” but it’s waaaay less efficient. Before, I could scroll down the page, look at the content of every single message without clicking anything, and then trash the messages if there wasn’t anything worth saving.
I don’t have a screenshot of the old view because I didn’t expect it to go away, but I found this one from Akismet. It shows the response message right in the main view, no clicking required. Please make this an option in the new view. Thanks!
Hello there, Sebastian here. I hope you’re having a good day.
You mentioned that the new interface requires clicking each message to view its contents, unlike the old layout, where everything was visible at a glance as you scrolled. It sounds like this change has made your workflow less efficient, especially since you could previously review and trash messages much more quickly.
I completely understand how frustrating it can be when a familiar process becomes more cumbersome, particularly for tasks you do often. Your comparison with Akismet’s view is really helpful for illustrating what you’d like to see.
I’ve noted your request to have an option to view full message content in the main panel and will make sure it’s shared with our team. If there are other details about your workflow or any specific improvements that would help you, please let me know.
Greetings,
