coming[7.2.0]
See also <<breaking-changes>> and <<release-notes>>.
Each release of {kib} brings new features and product improvements.
Here are the highlights of the feature and user experience changes in 7.2.0.
Refer to the {kib} <<breaking-changes-7.2, breaking changes>> and <<release-notes,
release notes>> for a list of bug fixes and other changes.
//NOTE: The notable-highlights tagged regions are re-used in the
//Installation and Upgrade Guide

=== Feature controls
Want to hide Dev Tools from the left navigation? Show Stack Monitoring only to
admins? Or, give certain users access to only Dashboard and Canvas?
<<kibana-role-management, Feature controls>> allow you to hide and
restrict applications and features in the {kib} UI.

You can configure {kib} applications and features based on your users needs,
and when used with security, based on their privileges. This means different
roles can have access to different features in the same space. Power users
might have privileges to create and edit visualizations and dashboards,
while analysts or executives might have Dashboard and Canvas with
read-only privileges.

=== Saved Object Import and Export API
{kib} has new APIs for <<saved-objects-api-import, importing>> and
<<saved-objects-api-export, exporting>> saved objects, including dashboards,
visualizations, index patterns, maps, Canvas workpads, and advanced settings.
A benefit of this new API is that it automatically exports the dependencies
of the saved object. Just export the dashboard you need and its visualizations
and index patterns are exported as well. You can use the new APIs in the Management UI,
or call them directly.

=== Rolled up data in Time Series Visual Builder
Time Series Visual Builder now has features for visualizing rolled up data. Similar
to Visualize, you can create index patterns that use rollup indices or mix rollup
and raw indices to visualize all data together. You can also create multiple
y-axes with different index patterns or rollup indices in the same chart.
When you specify the index in Visual Builder, you must explicitly state the
rollup name. Visual Builder will not include a rollup index if you use a wildcard.
See https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/28762[PR #28762]
for details.

=== Canvas enhancements
Canvas provides enhancements to custom elements, workpad filtering, and autoplay.
[float]
==== Custom elements
Elements, such as charts, metrics, shapes, and images, are the building blocks
of a Canvas workpad. You can combine these elements to create new and interesting
presentations of your data. Your custom element might be as simple as a metric
on top of a geometric shape. Or, you might create a more complex grouping backed
by queries and conditional statements.
With 7.2, you can save custom elements for reuse across your workpads. This
reduces the need for copy and paste. It also enables you to share your custom
elements with your teammates.
[role="screenshot"]
image::release-notes/images/7.2-canvas-custom-elements.png[Canvas custom elements]
[float]
==== Filter groups
If youve used the time or dropdown filter elements in Canvas, you know that
they apply to the entire workpad (and not just the page they are in). This
behavior is still the default, but you can now choose which elements are
affected by specific filters. This gives you more options for exploring data
visualizations.
[role="screenshot"]
image::release-notes/images/7.2-canvas-filters.png[Canvas custom elements]
[float]
==== Autoplay
As part of the ongoing work to provide kiosk mode in Canvas, version 7.2
introduces the ability to autoplay your workpad pages. Once enabled, full screen
mode automatically cycles through your workpad pages based on the time interval
you define.
[float]
=== Snapshot repositories
This release introduces phase one of the {kib} Snapshot UI for managing backups
of your {es} indices and clusters. Snapshots are important because they provide
a copy of your data in case something goes wrong. If you need to roll back to an
older version of your data, you can restore a snapshot from the repository.
Use the Snapshot UI to register new repositories, edit existing ones, and drill down into
details about your repositories and snapshots. See <<snapshot-repositories, Snapshot repositories>>
for step-by-step instructions. Additional snapshot and recovery features are
planned for upcoming versions.

=== Maps in dashboards and other improvements
beta[]The Maps app now adds the ability to include your saved map on a
dashboard. You can view and interact with your geospatial data alongside
bar charts, pie charts, and other visualizations. Click the map to
quickly hone in on the data you desire, and that data is shown across the dashboard,
similar to how you interact with other visualization types. See
<<maps-embedding, Adding a map to a dashboard>> for step-by-step instructions.
[role="screenshot"]
image::release-notes/images/7.2-maps.png[Embedded map in dark mode]
Additional improvements to the new Maps app include:
* *Dark mode.* Building on the support for dark mode in {kib} 7.0, the
Elastic Maps Service now publishes dark themed tiles. This means that the
Maps app now fully respects dark mode.
* *Collapsible map legends.* Use this feature to get an unobstructed
view of a map in a dashboard.
* *Class styling.* Use this style to symbolize map features by class.
See <<maps-vector-style-class>> for an example.

=== {kib} in Japanese
{kib} now supports Japanese, in addition to Simplified Chinese and English.
If youd like to use {kib} with Japanese, set `i18n.locale` to `ja-JP` in your
`kibana.yml` file. The Japanese localization is a work in progress.
We welcome your feedback in the form of a https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues[Github issue].
You can also https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pulls[issue a pull request in GitHub].

=== Data frames
beta[] Machine Learning now enables you to transform your data with data frames. A
new wizard guides you through the process of creating a data frame: selecting
the source data, the fields you want to group by, and the aggregations for
pivoting the data. There is also a preview of the transform for reviewing the configuration.
[role="screenshot"]
image::release-notes/images/7.2-data-frames.png[Data frames]
Data frames jobs are managed on a new list page, displaying the details and
status of each job, and controls for starting, stopping, or deleting jobs.
[role="screenshot"]
image::release-notes/images/7.2-data-frames-list-view.png[Data frames]
[float]
=== Search for influencers in Anomaly Explorer
A query bar is now available in the Machine Learning Anomaly Explorer, which
enables you to filter anomaly results for one or more selected influencers.
The query bar suggests influencer field names and values for the selected jobs
as you type.
[float]
=== Give us your feedback
Enjoy all the new features and functionality in {kib} 7.2. Play around with them
locally or on the https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service[Elasticsearch Service]
and reach out on the https://discuss.elastic.co/c/kibana[Kibana Discuss forum]

@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ When you assign a user multiple roles, the user receives a union of the roles
NOTE: When running multiple tenants of Kibana by changing the `kibana.index` in your `kibana.yml`, you cannot use `kibana_user` to grant access. You must create custom roles that authorize the user for that specific tenant. Although multi-tenant installations are supported, the recommended approach to securing access to Kibana segments is to grant users access to specific spaces.
