How to apply New Look
Overview
New Look is a new design of ESM that emphasizes simplicity, ease of use, and intuitive navigation. Its key feature is minimalism as the New Look is designed to be simple and clean, with redesigned buttons, menus, and fewer visual distractions.
As described below, learn how to apply, adjust, and test the New Look with a pilot group.
Phased rollout Configuration
Two actions allow switching the system to a New Look:
- Try The New Look
- Switch To Classic Look
An Administrator can manage the audience for these actions and thus enable switching from the Classic to a New Look for other users in the system as follows:
- In the Administration application, open the User Interface navigation item and choose Actions:
- Search for the Try The New Look and Switch To Classic Look actions:
