Hey, thanks for the report and the video.

The Build in New Agent button is still there, but in v3.0.6 the way you select To-Dos changed. Before, you could click anywhere on the row. Now you need to click the small checkmark on the right of each To-Do. Once you select the items you want using that checkmark, the Build in New Agent button will show up in the header instead of +New.

Give that a try and let me know if it helps.

Glad I can still do this - it is a feature I love. But wow, having to do a forum search and scroll through 50 posts to find this one is not a fun ui experience! If we had release notes maybe it would be easy, but zero mention of this change in the ‘change logs’.

+1 this was super confusing to me too. Thank you banduki for reporting this, saved me so much time from having to also dig the forums

@wadsworj That’s valid feedback, we really should’ve called this change out in the changelog.

@JHWebpt Glad the thread helped clear things up.
