Hello @naveen1583,
We want to be transparent about a recent change in Lens.
When we released the new UI in October 2024, we initially removed the Hotbar feature. Based on user feedback, we brought it back, but made it available only to:
- Users on paid plans (Plus, Pro, Enterprise)
- Long-time Lens users who created their Lens ID before October 2024 (as a thank-you for their support)
Recently, we discovered a bug in our feature gating: Hotbar had unintentionally been available to all users, regardless of plan. This bug has now been fixed.
As a result, some users who were not meant to have Hotbar access no longer do. We understand this may be frustrating if you had come to rely on it, but we want to be fully open: this was a mistake on our side, and access is now aligned with what was originally intended.
We know many of you enjoyed Hotbar during this time, and your feedback has reinforced its value — which is why it remains an important part of our premium plans.
Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to shape Lens with your feedback.
— The Lens Team
