Summary

Elastic has revamped its navigation menu for Elastic Cloud Hosted deployments to simplify user access by introducing solution views tailored to Elastic's core solutions: Search, Observability, and Security. This new system replaces the extensive left navigation menu, which had grown to over 100 items, with three specialized menus that streamline user interactions by categorizing tools into common features available across all views and solution-specific features unique to each view. Users can enable these solution views when creating new deployments or editing space settings, with the option to switch back to the classic view if desired. The solution views are designed to enhance workflow efficiency by offering a simplified, solution-centric navigation experience, although they are currently exclusive to Elastic Cloud Hosted environments. Admins have the ability to configure these settings, and user feedback is encouraged to refine the product further.
