Visually indicate when there are other Views

Right now, the Views dropdown looks the same whether there are 0 other Views or 12 other Views.
The only way to know what views are included is to click on the Views dropdown. The result (at least for me) is constantly clicking and re-clicking on the Views dropdown to check and recheck, "What else am I missing?"
It would be helpful to have a collapsible section or icon-based indication to tell you what additional Views are already added without requiring an additional click.
Examples of this might be:
- Adding a sub-App navigation bar, similar to Airtable's Tables layout (favorite option)
- Add a collapsible Views sidebar, similar to Airtable's View layout (better option)
- Add a Pinned View option, Similar to ClickUp (okay option)

Another horizontal menu level below the current apps menu would be very useful, I think. At least for a few views that you want there pinned. I believe that's Layla's first option.

I agree, clicking into the views dropdown every time feels a bit clunky (especially when being used to ClickUp). Being able to pin important views for quick access would be great.

Layla at ProcessDriven We are also in agreement on this request and we are moving down a path to allow users to open and close a Views panel that shows all available views - similar to the Airtbale concept you mentioned above.
We are considering two approaches for how to open the panel.
- Clicking on a Views button in the toolbar
- Using a Pin icon in the top right corners of the existing views panel that is opened on click.
We are currently working to implement View level folders and once this is done, we will then focus on this feature request.

Jon Darbyshire: Great to hear- airtable's collapsible view sidebar has a familiarity that the view listing doesn't quite have at the moment- I for one would be fine with losing a bit of grid real estate to have the option of having the views in line with the grid.
