📣 Dogfood 🐶 Experiment feedback issue: New navigation
New navigation, Experiment
During this stage, please see the epic for an update on our progress.. You might be posting a bug that is actually something we haven't built yet. )
Overview
The Navigation redesign will be available to dogfood by all GitLab team members starting in %15.11 through %16.0 with the goal of getting real feedback.
- This experiment should not break your core workflows (parity with old)
- Three major enhancements to Navigation should increase useability: Our reclassification into only 6 top-level buckets, the Your Work navigation, and Pinning (allows custom navigation pins on projects/groups and will be delivered a week or two into the beta)
Instructions - please read before posting!
