Faster, Cleaner Pipeline Management with the New GHL Redesign

GoHighLevel has given the Pipelines page a complete design overhaul—top to bottom. The new look is powered by their latest UI framework, the HighRise design system, which brings cleaner layouts, faster responsiveness, and a more intuitive user experience.

The old Pipelines view was serviceable. The new one? It’s a game-changer.

From the moment you open it, the redesigned interface feels lighter. Cards load faster. Drag-and-drop works like a charm. Everything is easier to read and easier to act on. You’ll notice:

• Sleek spacing between stages and deals
• A modern color scheme that highlights your pipeline without overwhelming it
• Simplified navigation that makes it easier to jump between pipelines

But don’t worry—none of the core features were removed. You still have full control over creating stages, dragging opportunities, and tracking conversions. It just feels like GHL finally caught up with the design expectations of 2025.

This isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about better performance and cleaner workflows.

This redesign isn’t just a pretty face—it comes with new functionality that solves some of the biggest pain points users have dealt with for years.

The biggest win? Smarter stage deletion.

You can now delete a stage without losing the opportunities inside it. A new prompt lets you instantly move all those deals to another stage of your choice. No more dragging cards one by one or risking data loss.

Here’s what else got better:

• Faster load times: The new system is leaner under the hood, which means Pipelines open quicker and update in real-time.
• Improved drag-and-drop: Moving opportunities between stages is smoother and more accurate. It feels natural, not clunky.
• More responsive layout: Whether you’re on a large monitor or a small laptop, the redesigned UI adapts beautifully—no more squinting or scrolling side to side.

This upgrade isn’t just cosmetic, it’s a major usability win for pipeline management. Every part of the experience now supports faster, cleaner movement of deals with less friction.

And just like before, you can still create multiple pipelines, customize stages, and track progress visually. But now, the entire experience feels streamlined.

It’s the same powerful pipeline management engine just upgraded with smarter controls and a much better interface.

If you’ve ever trained a new team member inside GHL—or tried to move 40 deals between stages without making a mess—you already know how important pipeline UX is.

This redesign isn’t just eye candy. It has real business impact.

Here’s what it changes:

• Reduces daily friction: Sales reps and account managers can now move faster without worrying about accidentally losing data when deleting a stage.
• Shortens onboarding time: The cleaner interface makes it easier for new users to learn how pipelines work, reducing training load on agency owners.
• Improves accuracy: Less visual clutter and smarter controls mean fewer mistakes, especially when managing multiple deals at once.
• Keeps your team in flow: When your CRM doesn’t get in your way, your team gets more done. That’s the real ROI.

This is a huge step forward for pipeline management. It’s not just about how it looks. It’s about how seamlessly you can manage deals, stages, and movement inside your CRM.

And with GHL continuing to modernize the UI across the board, this Pipelines redesign shows where the platform is headed—more speed, more usability, less “click around and figure it out.”

If your business relies on moving deals efficiently (and whose doesn’t?), this update matters.

Ready to experience the new design yourself? It’s easy to activate—and even easier to explore.

Here’s how to enable the new pipeline management UI:

This process must be done from the Agency-level account, not a sub-account.

Go to the left-hand sidebar, look all the way to the bottom.

1.1 Click on the gear icon ⚙️ labeled “Settings.”

• You’ll now be in the main Settings dashboard, where you can access:
  • Business Info
  • Billing
  • My Staff
  • and more.

The Labs section is where you can find early-access features, including the redesigned pipelines page.

2.1 Click on “Labs” in the left-hand navigation menu.

• You will now be on the Labs page, which shows a list of experimental features.

This step will show you how to find the new pipeline management UI feature.

3.1 Click on the “Sub-account” tab.

3.2 Scroll down to find the “Redesigned Pipelines Page” section and click on “Manage”.

This step will show you how to enable the new feature for specific sub-accounts.

4.1 Check the box next to the sub-account(s) where you want to enable this feature.

4.2 Click “Save” to apply your changes.

Now you can see the redesigned pipeline management UI in action.

5.1 Go to the sub-account where you enabled the feature and click on the “Opportunities” tab from the main left-hand menu.

5.2 Click on the “Pipelines” link at the top.

• You can now see the redesigned view of the pipeline management UI.

Pro move: Enable the redesign for a staging or internal account first, then roll it out to clients or team pipelines once you’re comfortable.

This rollout strategy lets you explore without disrupting your existing workflows. And remember—it’s still in Labs, so feedback helps shape the final product.

The new Pipelines UI is easy to adopt, but a few insider tips can help you go from “this looks nice” to “this saves me hours.”

Here’s how to make it work even harder for you:

Have legacy stages with stale opportunities? Delete them and quickly move active deals to a new stage without touching each card manually. It’s a simple but powerful boost to your pipeline management process.

Now’s a perfect time to audit your pipeline. Use drag-and-drop to realign your stages with the way your sales flow actually works today, not 6 months ago.

With a cleaner visual, it’s easier to templatize a “universal pipeline” structure for clients—especially if you use snapshots or manage multiple sub-accounts. This streamlines your entire approach to consistent and scalable pipeline management.

Save hours on support questions. Just walk through the new layout and point out the move/delete features, and share the link with your sales team.

Start with internal or low-traffic pipelines. Once your team is fluent with the new controls, roll it out to high-volume client accounts.

The new Pipelines view isn’t just nice to look at—it’s more productive when you lean into the changes.

This pipeline overhaul isn’t a one-off visual facelift—it’s the start of a bigger evolution inside GoHighLevel.

The shift to the HighRise design system signals GHL’s commitment to building a more intuitive, scalable, and agency-ready interface across the entire platform. That means better UX, faster performance, and cleaner tools from Contacts to Conversations, and beyond.

For agencies and CRM-heavy teams, this is a win. You get:

• A more polished experience that’s easier to teach and use
• A safer way to manage deals without losing opportunities
• A clearer signal of where GHL is headed: less clunk, more clarity

More than anything, this upgrade raises the standard for pipeline management inside GHL. You’re not just looking at a prettier screen—you’re using a more functional, future-ready CRM engine.

And because this update is still in Labs, now’s your chance to shape what sticks. Try it, break it, and send feedback. GHL is listening—and it’s clear they’re designing with power users in mind.

If you’ve been waiting for GHL to feel more “modern SaaS” and less “scrappy builder,” this pipeline redesign is your green light.
