## Summary Close https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/159691 [Requirements](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uXgyDIGuIqkYXmavdMTpBgQEiOP07ObJYb7GNq5GiSE/edit#heading=h.okl11rz12ytg) [A/B test description](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yzfZF8mtlRNH4X6HjosD6Exh24zAhN__LR_zh3DOzKw/edit?usp=sharing) [Figma](https://www.figma.com/file/WGhmfgyy9FBOltLtycfGPE/Getting-started?type=design&node-id=92-44804&mode=design&t=mwbIexn5Fs754HQz-0) Testing - see _testing_ section below for more details (https://dosant-pr-167374-d-2023-06-14-global-drift-with-experiment.kbndev.co/. elastic/changeme) This PR enables cloud chat (Drift) globally. This is done by adding a custom chat button in the Kibana header which manually toggles Drift widget. We attempt to manually position the widget to the top of the screen so it pops up close to the chat button that triggered it. Previously Drift chat was available only on specific pages like Solutions onboarding pages, integrations, setup guides as a regular chat widget with the floating chat bubble in the bottom right corner. We couldn't enable it on all pages, because on a lot of them the floating chat bottom would have overlapped the application UI. We also were asked to add [an a/b test](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yzfZF8mtlRNH4X6HjosD6Exh24zAhN__LR_zh3DOzKw/edit?usp=sharing): - A: The chat button appears in the header for all pages (new) - B: The chat button appears as floating action button in the bottom-right corner on pages where Drift was previously available (solutions onboarding pages, integrations, setup guides) ### Screenshots / Videos #### Global Chat in the header ![Screenshot 2023-09-25 at 10 30 41]( |

Getting Started
If you just want to try Kibana out, check out the Elastic Stack Getting Started Page to give it a whirl.
If you're interested in diving a bit deeper and getting a taste of Kibana's capabilities, head over to the Kibana Getting Started Page.
Using a Kibana Release
If you want to use a Kibana release in production, give it a test run, or just play around:
- Download the latest version on the Kibana Download Page.
- Learn more about Kibana's features and capabilities on the Kibana Product Page.
- We also offer a hosted version of Kibana on our Cloud Service.
Building and Running Kibana, and/or Contributing Code
You might want to build Kibana locally to contribute some code, test out the latest features, or try out an open PR:
- CONTRIBUTING.md will help you get Kibana up and running.
- If you would like to contribute code, please follow our STYLEGUIDE.mdx.
- For all other questions, check out the FAQ.md and wiki.
Documentation
Visit Elastic.co for the full Kibana documentation.
For information about building the documentation, see the README in elastic/docs.
Version Compatibility with Elasticsearch
Ideally, you should be running Elasticsearch and Kibana with matching version numbers. If your Elasticsearch has an older version number or a newer major number than Kibana, then Kibana will fail to run. If Elasticsearch has a newer minor or patch number than Kibana, then the Kibana Server will log a warning.
Note: The version numbers below are only examples, meant to illustrate the relationships between different types of version numbers.
| Situation | Example Kibana version | Example ES version | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Versions are the same. | 7.15.1 | 7.15.1 | 💚 OK |
| ES patch number is newer. | 7.15.0 | 7.15.1 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES minor number is newer. | 7.14.2 | 7.15.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES major number is newer. | 7.15.1 | 8.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
| ES patch number is older. | 7.15.1 | 7.15.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES minor number is older. | 7.15.1 | 7.14.2 | 🚫 Fatal error |
| ES major number is older. | 8.0.0 | 7.15.1 | 🚫 Fatal error |
