Octopus Deploy 4.0 - UX and UI
Blog post from Octopus Deploy
Octopus Deploy 4.0 introduces a redesigned user interface with the goal of creating a more intuitive, scalable, and user-friendly deployment tool. The update includes a modernized UI using Google's Material-UI library while retaining the iconic Octopus styling, which aims to reduce cognitive load by implementing design principles such as hierarchy, color differentiation, and consistent layout patterns. Key features include a more intuitive page layout with sticky headers and action buttons, as well as expandable panels that allow users to see summaries without distraction. The update also addresses the display of large data sets with improved filtering options and enhanced performance for pages like the environments page. The redesign was guided by user feedback and aims to ensure that Octopus remains a leading deployment tool as it continues to grow and evolve.
