    I am having problems updating existing models.

    The new arrangement of the page makes life difficult:
    Why can we no longer have the history of updates?

    The tabular layout worked fine - the columnar layout
    is not an improvement.

    Also a left hand columnar layout of models has a habit
    of popping-up when items are added to the basket.

    Regards

    We already have "Models", why introduce "Product"?

    Why "Upload & Buy", when the link is to "Update"?

    ......... "Upload" is already available on the Menu Bar.

    With respect, software can become "Overcooked".

    It is important in software development to limit nomenclature, for ease of use.

    From over 40 years experience, there are insights available to show a "bowl of spaghetti"
    being prepared.

    With respect; I am thinking there needs to be more discipline; and maybe some documentation :blush:

    The update button is currently not be shown in some of the older models.
    https://www.shapeways.com/model/41155/american-legion.html?l i=my-models&materialId=6

    Also the 3d grafic on this side does not load and some of the material checks show the remark "processing".

    Is there something in the background (update of data) runing or did oit simple fail for some items.

    Please take a look on that since I have currently some models in the pipe with a need of design update.
