Atlan's new UI

The new UI is a redesigned Atlan experience that makes data easier to find, understand, and govern. You can easily access both conversational and keyword search, related experiences are grouped together under All Assets, and several features have new names.

No functionality is removed and permissions are unchanged: your metadata, lineage, glossary terms, domains, policies, and access continue to work exactly as before. Use the mapping table to find where each feature is located in the new UI.

To move between interfaces, see Switch between UI versions.

Rolling out in phases

The new UI is rolling out to workspaces in phases. To request access, contact Atlan support and request it be enabled for your tenant.

Once the new UI is enabled, switching is per-user: anyone with access to Atlan (admin, member, or guest) can move between the new and classic UI for their own account, independently of other users. Admins don't need to migrate everyone at once.

What's new

Three shifts drive the redesign: teams want trusted data with fewer clicks, more data work starts with a question in plain language, and Atlan is evolving from a traditional catalog into the context layer for AI, where people and AI agents work from the same trusted metadata. Here's how that shows up in the product:

• Conversational and keyword search. Both are available based on what you want to do: ask Atlan AI in plain language and follow up naturally, or run a keyword and filtered search.
• Cleaner navigation. A collapsible sidebar groups related workflows together and reduces clicks to common tasks. Context Agents Studio moves out of the Governance Center and becomes a primary part of the navigation. The sidebar continues to respect your existing permissions.
• All assets get a common layout. Asset profiles keep the familiar core, with a refined, widget-first layout. Each widget is carefully curated to group related metadata together.
• Familiar features, new names. Same content and functionality: Glossary is now Business Graph, and Insights is now Data Exploration.
• Admin configuration under Settings. Workflows, policies, playbooks, personas, roles, access, and connector setup live in one admin-only area. Nothing needs to be reconfigured, and end users don't see it.

What stays unchanged

The new UI changes how Atlan is organized, not what it does:

• Your metadata, assets, lineage, glossary terms, domains, data products, policies, and governance setup all remain available.
• User permissions stay the same. Users continue to see only what they're allowed to access. Conversational search follows Atlan's existing permission model, with no separate AI-specific visibility.
• Core asset workflows remain familiar.
• Exact and keyword search is still available, alongside conversational search.
• Reporting and Inbox are unchanged.
• You can switch back to the classic UI at any time during the transition.
