||
=== Fresh, sleek design
|
||
|
||
Since the introduction of the https://elastic.github.io/eui/#/[Elastic UI framework] in 6.2,
|
||
{kib} has undergone a major design revamp. This release showcases a lighter, more
|
||
minimal design that brings it all together. The biggest change is a persistent global header, which
|
||
displays information related to where you are in {kib}. The side navigation
|
||
is now collapsed by default, giving applications more horizontal space.
|
||
Dashboards and most of the {kib} applications also got much needed touch-ups.
|
||
Finally, the font changed to https://rsms.me/inter/[Inter UI], which is closer to
|
||
more modern system fonts found on your OS of choice.

||
=== {kib} Query Language on by default
|
||
|
||
In 6.3, {kib} introduced the
|
||
{kibana-ref}/kuery-query.html[Kibana Query Language (KQL)], and in 7.0.0,
|
||
KQL is the default. KQL offers a simplified query syntax and support for
|
||
scripted fields. If you have a https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[Basic license]
|
||
(the default distribution) or above, KQL also provides
|
||
autocomplete. If you prefer the
|
||
{kibana-ref}/lucene-query.html[Lucene query syntax], you have the option
|
||
to turn off KQL.

|
||
=== {kib} dark theme
|
||
|
||
{kib} now supports a dark theme across the entire application. To try out this theme, go
|
||
to *Management > Advanced settings*, flip the dark mode switch, and reload your
|
||
page. Because theme selection is saved at the {kibana-ref}/xpack-spaces.html[Spaces] level,
|
||
you can no longer set a dark or light theme on an individual dashboard.

||
=== Responsive dashboards
|
||
|
||
experimental[] As part of the enhancements to {kib} dashboards in 7.0,
|
||
the design is
|
||
more responsive. If you want to view and interact with {kib} on the go,
|
||
pull it up on your phone and test out this new, experimental responsive layout.

|
||
=== New look for timepicker and filters
|
||
|
||
The timepicker now makes it easier to deal with complex date queries. For example,
|
||
you can mix relative times with absolute ones. The timepicker design is also improved.
|
||
The control no longer pushes the content down the page as you interact
|
||
with it. The design is also more compact, which is necessary
|
||
to make it work better on mobile dashboards.

|
||
|
||
Filters are enhanced in two ways. Each filter now provides a dropdown menu
|
||
that clearly defines the actions you can take on the filter. There’s also a
|
||
new menu for dealing with filters in bulk.

|
||
=== Saved objects structure improvements
|
||
|
||
The <<breaking-changes-7.0-saved-objects,structure of saved objects changed>> so
|
||
that they are now aware of each other.
|
||
This means you can now export a dashboard,
|
||
including all visualization dependencies, from the Saved objects page.
|
||
You can also easily move objects from one {kib} instance to another or
|
||
between Spaces.
|
||
|
||
[float]
|
||
=== Canvas enhancements
|
||
|
||
Canvas has two notable improvements: an expandable expression editor and
|
||
additional keyboard shortcuts.
|
||
|
||
To maximize or minimize the expression editor,
|
||
use the expand button image:images/highlights-7.0.0-expand.png[]
|
||
in the top right corner of the editor. To adjust the font size, use the slider
|
||
at the bottom.
|
||
|
||
Canvas has more keyboard shortcuts for moving elements to the front and
|
||
back and for copying your elements. To discover all shortcuts available in Canvas,
|
||
click the help icon.
