Our new navigation UI, rolling out to Cloud customers in July, makes it easier to find what you’re looking for in Octopus in a handful of different ways. It’s also a faster experience for our scale customers. And for everyone, we’ve ensured modern dark and light themes that are more considerate of accessibility.
In this post, I give you a quick rundown of the navigation UI changes.
