[[lens-7.5]]
|
||
=== Lens—a new way to create visualizations (beta)
|
||
|
||
Lens is a simple, more intuitive way to visualize your data. Lens provides a
|
||
drag-and-drop experience that helps you get from your data to insights
|
||
in just a few clicks. If there is a better visualization for your data,
|
||
Lens makes smart visualization suggestions for you, which allows you to
|
||
quickly switch between visualization types. Want to use a different data set?
|
||
With Lens, you can simply choose a different index pattern right from the UI.
|
||
Check out our {kibana-ref}/lens.html[documentation] for full details.

[[smart-query-cancellation-7.5]]
|
||
=== Smart query cancellation
|
||
|
||
Starting in 7.5, if you navigate to a different page or
|
||
update a query before getting the results, {kib} applies a smart cancellation policy,
|
||
canceling the
|
||
{es} query. Canceling unnecessary queries improves cluster performance
|
||
by reducing noise caused by queries that you no longer need.

[[canvas-shareables-7.5]]
|
||
=== Canvas workpads outside of Kibana
|
||
|
||
Canvas introduces shareables, a new way to externally share information from
|
||
{kib}. Shareables enables our community to share static Canvas workpads
|
||
using a code snippet. When the workpad is added to your website,
|
||
you can customize the workpad behavior to autoplay the pages.

|
||
|
||
Keep up with what’s going on at Elastic with our newsfeed in {kib}.

||
You’ll learn about what’s new, what we’re blogging about, our latest webinars,
|
||
and more.

[[maps-7.5]]
|
||
=== More Maps enhancements
|
||
|
||
GeoJSON upload was released as Beta in 7.3,
|
||
and now it's production ready in 7.5.
|
||
GeoJSON upload makes it easier to add custom vector shapes to your map.
|
||
Check out the {kibana-ref}/indexing-geojson-data-tutorial.html[Indexing GeoJSON data tutorial].
|
||
|
||
In 7.5, Maps also introduces these new features:
|
||
|
||
* Styling by date and time field, which is good for tracking time
|
||
series data and for highlighting newer data over older records.
|
||
* Document sorting to ensure that your most important data is on top of the map.
|
||
* A new tooltip design with support for drag-drop field sorting and image embeds.

[[api-keys-7.5]]
|
||
=== A new UI for managing API Keys
|
||
|
||
Our new API keys UI allows cluster administrators to view and invalidate
|
||
all API keys, and users to view and invalidate their own keys.
|
||
API keys are is especially useful when working with automated scripts,
|
||
or workflow integration with other software. For example, you can use API
|
||
keys to automate the ingestion of new data from remote sources,
|
||
without live user interaction. See {kibana-ref}/api-keys.html[the documentation] for more details.

[[snapshot-retention-7.5]]
|
||
=== Automatic deletion of snapshots
|
||
|
||
When creating a snapshot lifecycle policy with our
|
||
*Snapshot and Restore* UI, you can now optionally configure a retention period.
|
||
This feature enables you to automate the deletion of your snapshots,
|
||
reducing the need for manual cleanup while allowing for retention of only the
|
||
most relevant and recent snapshots. For example, you might define a
|
||
policy that deletes snapshots older than thirty days, always keeps
|
||
the latest five snapshots, and deletes the oldest snapshot if more than 50
|
||
are present. See {ref}/slm-retention.html[Snapshot lifecycle management retention]
|
||
for the full documentation.
