There are 2 "Create new" buttons in dashboard and they have different behaviors.

  1. "Create new" button in top nav. Clicking this opens create new visualization menu.

  2. "Create new" button in add panel. Clicking this opens a drop down with only a single selection, "visualize". Clicking visualize then opens the create new visualization menu.

These inconsistencies provide for an unpredictable user experience. Why is there a "Create new" button in the add panel while there is also a "Create new" button that is very prominent in the top nav?

I would recommend removing the "Create new" from the add panel. The search bar is really squished and the extra horizontal space gained by removing this button will help alleviate this. Also, since the user made the choice to click "add", why is the most visible call to action then a button that has a different action?
