Introducing Forest Admin's new efficient Navigation & Customization Center

As announced in January, Forest Admin's navigation is evolving, and the release date for this update has been set to Monday February 24th.

To help you prepare for this launch, we wanted to send you a reminder of what these changes will mean for you:

A single tab for your Collections, Segments, Workspaces, Inboxes, and Dashboards

Operators have a lot of processes to go through on a daily basis; some of them start in an Inbox, some take place in a Workspace, or even in a Collection or Segment.

All of these pages currently exist in their own separate tab, meaning:

• Users need to know where to go to access them
• Pages of different types (e.g. a Workspace and an Inbox) cannot be mixed in a single view, even if they relate closely to each other

Bringing all the pages together means that you will be able to make better use of our new Folders by mixing Collections, Workspaces, and Inboxes together; for instance by Country, Market, Use Case, or in any other way that suits your teams best.

Notes and Approvals will still be located in the Collaboration tab, while Activity Logs and Team Performance dashboard can be accessed through the Reporting tab.

Will we need to do anything to migrate to this new interface?

This minor migration will be fully automated for you; on February 24th, every user will benefit from Forest Admin's new interface.

To ensure a seamless transition, and give you time to make the most of the updated interface, Folders will be automatically created for you during the migration process, and will reflect what you currently see in your tabs; Workspaces will be in a Workspace folder, Dashboards will be in a Dashboards folder, etc...

So for example, instead of finding a particular Workspace in the Workspaces tab 🧩, users will find it in a Workspaces folder 📁.

Here's an illustration of how pages from each tab will be migrated:

A big benefit from bringing all these page types in a single view is that you will now enjoy a consistent flow for adding new pages to your project.

The Customization Center is the new centralized starting point for the creation of any new Folder, Inbox, Workspace, and Dashboard.

And don't worry, the learning curve should be minimal; it will simply re-direct you to the existing creation flows you're already familiar with!
