Since I updated to 11.0.2, I now find myself hunting the screen for the 'Today' button in Calendar. Has this moved? Unfortunately, I don't have any record of the screen layout in the previous version to compare. I use this constantly and would prefer a big button in the middle, right above the day of the week. Same with Go To Date. I use this a lot and find myself digging in to menus to get it now. Has it also moved?
Moving the module list over to the far left is fine, but I now have a big blank area with 'Local Calendars' at the top. I can't size the month calendars below to fill that area. Seems like a waste of valuable screen real estate.
Finally, when entering a new appointment, can we have the option of creating a duplicate appt on the day before, prefixed 'Tomorrow:'. I always do this manually for significant appts. I know I can add a second reminder set for a day before, but that doesn't actually make an entry on the previous day. I find it very useful to see these 'pre-entries' when looking ahead.

Yes, location of the Today and Go to buttons has changed.
Likely there's simply not enough space to fit in another month.Moving the module list over to the far left is fine, but I now have a big blank area with 'Local Calendars' at the top. I can't size the month calendars below to fill that area. Seems like a waste of valuable screen real estate.
Thanks for the suggestion, noted.Finally, when entering a new appointment, can we have the option of creating a duplicate appt on the day before, prefixed 'Tomorrow:'.

Hi. I would never have found the new Go To Date mechanism, but now I know! But I still find it harder to locate / hit the Today button, compared to the previous versions. Not a showstopper, but I use it a lot. See my attached visualisation of a big, mid-screen button. Also highlighted the big blank Local Calendar area, which I can't re-size to make smaller.

Thanks for the suggestion, noted.
As for the empty area - will see what we can do here.
