Scenario:
Let’s say you have 2 collections. You begin writing an aggregation query for the first collection. Then you want to double check some value that is in the second collection. Clicking on the second collection brings the user to it and clears the aggregation query that has been written for the first collection. Just like that.
Of course, ideally you would expect it to be saved automatically as a draft for you to come back to it once you have done some multi-tasking, something that other software such as email clients do, but no.
To make matters worse, there is no communication to a user about this. There is no prompt informing the user that an aggregation query he/ she spent 30 min designing would be lost and whether it should be saved.
This is such a jarring and punishing experience for simply wanting to glance at something else related to the query being written, that it degrades the whole Compass user experience, making it feel like a bomb, rendering one scared to touch anything to not have it explode in his/ her face with an unintended data loss.
