Let's take this hierarchy for a project called `MyProject`: * Level 1 * Group A * Group B * Subgroup X * Subgroup Y * MyProject * Subgroup Z * Group C If the truncated breadcrumb looks like this: Level 1 > `...` > MyProject The previous breadcrumb menu on ellipsis would show: * Group B * Subgroup Y Now with https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/338012 when we click on the ellipsis the breadcrumb expands to: Level 1 > Group B > Subgroup Y > MyProject Now if each of the segment/section/slice of the breadcrumb is a dropdown... Clicking on Group B would show: * Group A * Group B (selected) * Group C Or, clicking on "Subgroup Y" would show: * Subgroup X * Subgroup Y (selected) * Subgroup Z This is similar to the dropdown navigation that you see in VSCode ![img](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/uploads/b5484928caad5f4e410e39627b7bbfb3/image.png) ### What does success look like, and how can we measure that? Navigation speed is greatly improved ![group-project-navigation-suggestion](/uploads/733ed0c5adb8a1982a8d94fd42be1554/group-project-navigation-suggestion.gif) ### Links / references
