We rebuilt the Scribe session controls so your note sits at the center of the screen. The first time you open the new layout, a short guided tour shows you around.
Key changes
New Scribe layout
New side bar (left hand navigation)
New session list
How the screen is laid out
The screen has three areas:
Session list (left): unchanged. Collapse or reopen it from the left edge.
Note canvas (center): your note, with more room.
Control panel (right): session details, document actions, tasks and tools, grouped into cards.
ℹ️ Tip: You can hide the control panel to get a full-width note. Click the panel button in the top right to hide it or bring it back. If your controls seem to be missing, check this button first.
What stays the same
You'll find these controls in their usual place:
Start, pause, stop and resume transcribing
Change microphone or speaker, telehealth mode and audio upload
The Transcript tab
Copy, undo and redo
The Ask Heidi bar
Inline dictation, rich text editing, find and replace, and snippets (type /)

On the 8th of February the old Scribe interface will disappear for all customers.
FAQs
Did any features get removed?
No. The screen looks emptier because your note takes up more room. Everything else sits in the control panel.
Where did my tasks and codes go?
Tasks have their own card in the control panel. You'll find codes in the Tools card.
How do I get more space for my note?
Collapse the control panel. Your note expands to full width, and you can reopen the panel anytime.
