Introducing the Updated Navigation
Based on valuable feedback from our users, we've completely revamped the navigation experience in Zephyr Cloud. The new system makes it faster and easier to find exactly what you need.
What's Changed
Clear Hierarchical Structure
The new navigation follows a logical hierarchy that mirrors how you think about your work:
- Organization Level: See all your organizations at the top level
- Project Level: Drill down into specific projects within an organization
- Application Level: Access individual applications within projects
This structure makes it intuitive to navigate even complex setups with multiple organizations and hundreds of applications.
Easy-to-Use Switchers
We've introduced smart switchers that let you jump between different levels with just one click:
- Organization Switcher: Quickly change between different organizations
- Project Switcher: Jump to any project within the current organization
- Application Switcher: Access any application in the current project
No more navigating back to the dashboard just to switch contexts!
