Question

Project Cost Estimate vs Old Estimate

I am frustrated with this new layout. 

I used to be able to create a new project, then use the drop down "add to project" to add an estimate. 

Now all it has is "Project Cost Estimate", and that doesn't give me the format I need for estimates. So now I can't create an estimate within a project. I have to make it under "+New" instead. This is counterintuitive and wastes my time.

I wish companies would stop trying to improve things. 🙄
