FAQ: Atlas Navigation Improvements

Why are we making this change?

We redesigned the navigation to provide a more composable and scalable structure so that our developer data platform can grow over time. We redesigned the navigation to improve the self-discovery of the wide array of services we offer and to provide clear navigation across services and resources. Ultimately, these changes set a foundation to support the growth of our products and services over time.

What's changing?

• We simplified the left sidebar navigation. We organized the sidebar navigation into the following categories:

  • Database

  • Data

  • Services

  • Security

  These categories provide distinct yet flexible containers that display the breadth of our platform services and a clear division between the main tasks.

• We clarified the resource context. The top navigation persists and indicates the current resource (organization, project, collection, and so on). You can easily switch between resources to improve workflow continuity.

• We unified utilities. A centralized utility hub in the top-right corner of the UI provides quick and easy access to essential tools like alerts, the activity feed, support, and user management. You can also find links to MongoDB University, Documentation, and Community Forums here.

• We removed the distinct product tabs. We now present all primary services in the appropriate category beneath one consolidated sidebar navigation, which makes these capabilities easier to find. We removed the top navigation tabs for Data Services and Charts. We changed the label for Charts to Visualizations.
