Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/3235

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

It took me over a dozen of minutes to figure out how to "select an environment" in a new collection I have just created.

I would click the 3 dots on each environment, I would search the UI for a global toggle, and to no avail.

I would expect a global toggle, that is always visible in the UI, like the "Workspace" toggle.

I may be biased by Postman that I have been using for almost a decade now, but it really is important to me to be able to tell what environment I'm running the requests against. In fact, to see the Environemnt is more important to me than to see the workspace itself.

Steps to reproduce

Try to guess what environemnt is in use.
Then try to change the environment.

Environment

Production

Version

Cloud

It seems you're using an outdated version of Hoppscotch.
If you're on Hoppscotch Cloud instance do a hard refresh (CMD+Shift+R) to fetch the latest deployment.

Here's a screenshot of the latest Hoppscotch Cloud instance with an improved Global Environment Selector:

Yeah! That worked.... But ... Why did I have to hard reload? 🤔

Hoppscotch is a PWA, with offline-cache capabilities. Hoppscotch will load the cache-first version of web app and after a refresh it fetches the latest version.

I know how it works, the question is, why does it not offer a way to reload to fetch the update? Some sites prompt for update (vue docs), other sites refresh when left inactive (toggle, messenger).
