Don't hide primary actions

This post details user research findings that highlight confusion among new users regarding the creation of subgroups and the distinction between groups and projects within GitLab. It identifies the primary problem as the discoverability of the 'New subgroup' action, which was hidden within a dropdown menu. Observations also indicated a lack of intuitive user experience for building organizational systems, with participants expecting graphical interfaces or command-line options. Solution proposals include splitting the 'New project' and 'New group' buttons to make the 'New group' action more discoverable and to separate disparate interface actions. The post concludes that this simple UI change significantly improved task completion time and user understanding.
