Lovable: Redesigned Chat Actions Menu
LovableLovable redesigned the Chat actions menu, the "+" button that sits next to the message input inside a project, giving it a new grouped layout instead of one long list. A search box at the top now lets builders jump straight to any action by name as the menu has grown to cover connectors, project settings, knowledge, design systems, and version history. Attach files stays a single click away, so the platform's most common action was not buried in the reorganization. The change targets Lovable's most frequently used chat surface, making it easier to navigate as more tools get added to it over time.
Key Takeaways
- Lovable grouped related actions together in the Chat actions menu instead of showing them as one flat, growing list.
- A new search box at the top of the menu lets builders find any action by typing its name rather than hunting through categories.
- Attach files, the most-used action, remains a single click away and was not buried behind the new grouping.
- The redesign is purely navigational: no new actions were added or removed, only how they are organized and discovered.
- The change lands on the single most-opened UI surface in a Lovable project, since the "+" menu is used continuously while building.
- The reorg reflects how far the menu has expanded, now spanning connectors, knowledge, design systems, settings, and version history in one place.
Chat Actions Menu Gets a Grouped Layout
Lovable redesigned the Chat actions menu, the "+" button that appears next to the message input in every project, to keep it usable as the number of available actions has grown. Instead of presenting every option as one long, undifferentiated list, Lovable now groups related actions together under shared categories, so builders scan a handful of clusters rather than scroll through dozens of individual entries.
Search Any Action by Name
A search box now sits at the top of the menu. Typing part of an action's name, such as "knowledge" or "design system," filters the list instantly instead of requiring a builder to remember which group an action lives under. This matters more as Lovable's menu has expanded to cover project settings, version history, knowledge files, design systems, and the platform's growing roster of connectors, all reachable from the same entry point.
Attach Files Still One Click Away
Despite the reorganization, Lovable kept Attach files, by far the most frequently used action in the menu, immediately accessible rather than nesting it inside a group a builder has to open first. The redesign is scoped purely to navigation and discoverability: no new actions were added, and nothing that previously lived in the menu was removed or relocated to a different part of the interface.
Because the Chat actions menu is opened dozens of times a day by anyone actively building on Lovable, even a layout-only change like this has an outsized effect on day-to-day usability compared to features that live in less-visited corners of the product.
