Migrate docs from AsciiDoc to Markdown. The preview can be built after #212557 is merged. @florent-leborgne please tag reviewers, add the appropriate label(s), and take this out of draft when you're ready. Note: More files are deleted than added here because the content from some files was moved to [elastic/docs-content](https://github.com/elastic/docs-content). **What has moved to [elastic/docs-content](https://github.com/elastic/docs-content)?** Public-facing narrative and conceptual docs have moved. Most can now be found under the following directories in the new docs: - explore-analyze: Discover, Dashboards, Visualizations, Reporting, Alerting, dev tools... - deploy-manage: Stack management (Spaces, user management, remote clusters...) - troubleshooting: .... troubleshooting pages **What is staying in the Kibana repo?** - Reference content (= anything that is or could be auto-generated): Settings, syntax references - Release notes - Developer guide --------- Co-authored-by: Florent Le Borgne <florent.leborgne@elastic.co>

Developing Visualizations [development-visualize-index]
::::{important} These pages document internal APIs and are not guaranteed to be supported across future versions of {{kib}}.
::::
The internal APIs for creating custom visualizations are in a state of heavy churn as they are being migrated to the new {{kib}} platform, and large refactorings have been happening across minor releases in the 7.x series. In particular, in 7.5 and later we have made significant changes to the legacy APIs as we work to gradually replace them.
As a result, starting in 7.5 we have removed the documentation for the legacy APIs to prevent confusion. We expect to be able to create new documentation later in 7.x when the visualizations plugin has been completed.
We would recommend waiting until later in 7.x to upgrade your plugins if possible. If you would like to keep up with progress on the visualizations plugin in the meantime, here are a few resources:
- The breaking changes documentation, where we try to capture any changes to the APIs as they occur across minors.
- Meta issue which is tracking the move of the plugin to the new {{kib}} platform
- Our Elastic Stack workspace on Slack.
- The source code, which will continue to be the most accurate source of information.
