Improve "Advanced Options" UI

PL’s UI is surely it’s crowning glory! BUT, I will say I’m thrown for a loop every time I click “advanced options”. The fields that populate often seem mixed in with the field that were already there, making me have to re-scan the form completely to figure out what features just got toggled on. Likewise, when I go to toggle it off, I can’t predict what will disappear.

I leave it to the team for the exact solution, but it could be as simple as highlighting the features that are “advanced”, putting them all in one section (often this wouldn’t make sense based on the fields that do populate), or briefly flashing the advanced color behind the fields that appear. Maybe there is something more elegant.

    Just going to leave this in the Pending More Detail, it’s good general feedback, and we’ll keep it in mind with future UX improvements. Others can comment if they like. Thanks!

    I tend to turn on the Advanced features all the time 1) so I can see what flexibility is available 2) so I can quickly see (and remember) what parameters I set

    Maybe the COMPACT vs FULL VIEW is all that is needed for a reduced screen space? That said, I also always use FULL VIEW for the reasons above…
