What are the changes that CSMs can notice in the Add Activity workflow in Global Timeline and GSHome Timeline page?

In the new interface, clicking Add Activity opens a dialog box where a CSM can enter the Company/Relationship and choose the specific activity types from a dropdown list. This makes the activity creation process more focused, efficient and offers a more streamlined and user-centric approach for managing activities. In the old interface, clicking Add Activity displayed all activity types in the dropdown at once, which was less organized and user-friendly.
