? It's been rearranged, but it's all still there. Make sure the two buttons between back/forward and the search field are highlighted, and you get, on the left, a column containing the full documentation library (Sigh. I never found it useful, but having a "top level" is probably a checkoff.) or your bookmark list (as before).

(Oh… there's an Editor > Reveal in Library command that selects the current article in the outline, thus making it possible to find sister articles. I unsay my remark on its usefulness. Much less annoying than the old jump bar.)

The second column is the outline of the current document (as was in the old column on the right). The class summary that had been an option in the old right column is now stuck above the document scroll view. I think it's a good move to keep both visible.

Maybe I haven't found a popover yet, except for what appears when you click the magnifying-class badge. Do you mean the last item in the dropdown from the search field, now called "Show all results?" I've filed bugs on it. The problem is that the Return key means different things depending on a not-easily-discerned context.

Once you make a choice from that dropdown, there's no way to recover it. You're left to fiddle with add-then-delete an extra character, or reselecting the search field, hitting Return one more time, and dealing with the much-longer page of hits. I like that page, but I find it tricky to get to.
