Why we did this

Mark's next review reorganized the app's menu and asked, page after page, how to show the trend next to today's number.

What happened

The menu now groups pages by job, Sessions became Activity, Teams shows a spend trend per team, and Users leads with who needs attention.

Teams with the old menu and no trend — Before → afterEach team now shows whether its spending is going up or down, beside the new menu.

Teams with a spend trend per team, under the new menu — Before → afterEach team now shows whether its spending is going up or down, beside the new menu.

Qpoint team

Reorganized the menu and kept trends honest

Wrote the review, reordered the menu, swapped Activity's sparklines for usage history, asked for the spark under the value, and added avatars to the attention list.
