Add a "Most Recently Published" section to the container registry UI
Everyone can contribute. Help move this issue forward while earning points, leveling up and collecting rewards.
Problem to solve
The Package stage allows you to publish, consume, and discover images, all in one place. Users publish and pull images using GitLab CI/CD, the command line, or the GitLab API.
When users are visiting the Container Registry UI, it is most often related to a recently published tag. Currently, a user needs to know ahead of time where that tag is or spend time hunting for the recently published tag.
Intended users
Personas are described at https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/product-marketing/roles-personas/
- Delaney (Development Team Lead)
- Sasha (Software Developer)
- Devon (DevOps Engineer)
- Sidney (Systems Administrator)
- Rachel (Release Manager)
User experience goal
Improve interacting with the container registry UI by showing users what they're most likely visiting the container registry UI for: to confirm publishing and view details of a recently created tag.
Proposal
Create a UI moment above the Image Repository list on the Container Registry page showing a list of the 3 most recently published tags.
| Most recently published tags |
|---|
 |
Further details
This "most recently published" section should not degrade the performance of the page drastically. If pulling these details from the Container Registry causes the load time to slow down, we should consider holding off as users stated that while handy, they could navigate the image repositories and would be frustrated by a slow load time.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
What is the type of buyer?
All users of the container registry would benefit, but larger enterprise customers will appreciate these changes more.
Is this a cross-stage feature?
