This guide summarizes the user interface differences between LaunchDarkly’s legacy UI, which is no longer available, and LaunchDarkly’s new multi-environment view, which was introduced in May 2024.
Our May 2024 release includes a new product navigation and multi-environment view. With the new navigation, you can access the resources you need more quickly and efficiently, including viewing your flag’s status across environments.
Use this topic if you have any questions about finding functionality in the new multi-environment view. Each section includes a table describing the main changes. Click any image in the table to enlarge.
