The Overview tab is an information buffet where users can choose to access their saved information. They can see the latest documents matching the communities they follow, the saved documents, the last read documents and their favorite filtersLast Read Documents is the latest addition to the variety of content displayed on the Overview tab of the For You dashboard.

Explore Dashboard with a New Filter Panel
In order to extensively explore the project data, various types of filters like Labels, Entities and Communities are put together as accordion buttons where each section can be expanded or collapsed simultaneously. This allows a better categorisation of filters and utilisation of space by having one dedicated dashboard section for listing, applying and removing the filters. All applied filters are listed inside the first accordion button called Filters.
Explore Dashboard unified with Global Search
In the past, Explore and Global Search existed as two different dashboards which increased the maintenance cost of the app. As both had quite a huge overlap of widgets and user experience, we had merged the two into one. Widgets like QA, Similar Searches, Communities List and Tabbed results are configured with a new visibility condition NLP Search Intent is not empty to be visible only when search is executed from Global Search bar.
Communities Dashboard
Community Dashboard lists the Following tab as the first tab to give an overview of user’s community preferences.
Community 360° Dashboard and Navigation
The Community 360 Dashboard is the materialization of the concept to have a single destination for a community detail view regardless of the path taken.
These dashboards can present a lot of community-specific information at once.

Today, one can reach here by clicking on any Community List or Community Items widget in the project.
In a similar fashion to the For You dashboard, it shows information categorised under different tabs with Overview tab listing a variety of information. View All button allows users to navigate to a specific tab.The tabbed content are a mix of items and communities that match the active community.
Global Search Bar and Search Result (Explore) dashboard
On enabling the new dashboard configuration property called Search in page, the search is limited to the active dashboard. In the new app template, this option is enabled on the Communities and Community 360° dashboards. Choosing the option to Search in entire project or searching from For You or Explore dashboard, uses the Explore dashboard to display the search results.
