Settings in FirstSales used to load under a single URL, with each section rendered client-side as you clicked through the navigation. The practical consequences were small but persistent: the browser's back button didn't work as expected, you couldn't paste a link to a specific settings page into Slack or a support thread, and destructive controls — account deletion and similar permanent actions — sat alongside everyday preferences with no meaningful boundary between them. This redesign addresses all three.
Find settings faster
Every settings section now has its own URL, which means browser back and forward work the way you'd expect, and you can share a direct link to any section — useful when walking a new teammate through setup or escalating a question to support.
What changed
Each section is now a real page at its own path. The sidebar navigation reflects exactly where you are. The browser history works normally. If you open Settings → Team and then navigate somewhere else, pressing back returns you to the team settings page — not to wherever you were before you opened settings at all.
Destructive controls have been moved behind their own dedicated section under Privacy. This isn't just cosmetic separation: actions in that section now include a grace period before they take permanent effect, which means an accidental deletion is recoverable. For a workspace that may contain weeks of campaign data, active sequences, and carefully imported contact lists, that recovery window matters.
What moved where
- General — profile, password, and appearance preferences
- Team — members, invitations, groups, and domain management
- Organization / Workspace — names and structural settings
- Privacy — account deletion and other destructive controls, separated and protected by a recovery grace period
- Tools — workspace-level tools like automatic email cleaning
Why it matters for outreach teams
For founders and small teams running cold outreach, settings changes often happen under time pressure. Spinning up a new workspace before a campaign launch, adjusting team access for a new hire, tracking down which tool is enabled for a specific workspace — these aren't leisurely tasks. A settings structure that respects browser navigation and supports direct links removes friction from those moments. You land where you intend, share what you need to share, and don't lose your place navigating back.
The grace period on destructive actions is worth noting specifically for teams where someone other than the account owner occasionally has admin access. An accidental deletion is no longer an emergency — it's a recoverable situation with a clear path to resolution. That changes the risk profile of giving trusted teammates admin access when the campaign is live.
