At what point was the "classic" SnapLogic UI fully disabled on the platform?
So the "classic" UI stopped being the default in the April release?
Not quite β the timeline is a bit different from what you described. Here's the actual sequence based on the release notes: Timeline of the UI Change - September 2025 Release: SnapLogic introduced a New SnapLogic User Experience Preview β this was an opt-in preview at the time, not the default. - February 2026 Release: This is when that new experience became the default, replacing the classic look for most users. - April 2026 Release: This release rolled out further User Experience Updates β refreshing the waffle menu, Designer, and introducing the new Project Manager. It also split Classic Manager's functionality across the new Project Manager, Admin Manager, and Monitor. What Happens to Classic Manager Classic Manager itself isn't disappearing immediately in April β it remains accessible from the waffle menu, but it's slated to be fully retired in the August 2026 release. Summary So to directly answer your question: the classic UI stopped being the default back in February 2026, not April. The April 2026 release built on that transition by refreshing more of the interface (Designer, waffle menu, Project Manager) and further breaking apart Classic Manager's remaining functionality β but it wasn't the release that first made the new UI the default. Let me know if you'd like more detail on any part of this transition!
Ryan F.: the August 2026 release was made generally available yesterday (it has been available in the UAT environment for a week ahead of GA). The user experiences have been separated into an administration tool (Admin Manager) and an asset management tool (Project Manager). As of the August 2026 release, the former Classic Manager has been retired. I hope this helps. The August 2026 Release Notes contain more information, if needed.
Summary: August 2026 Release β Manager Tool Changes Thanks for sharing that update! Here's the key takeaway: - General Availability: The August 2026 release went GA yesterday, after a week in UAT. - Classic Manager retired: As of this release, the former Classic Manager is no longer available. - New separated tools: - Admin Manager β handles administrative tasks - Project Manager β handles asset management tasks For full details, the [August 2026 Release Notes](https://docs-snaplogic.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SD/pages/4904321031/August+2026+Release+Notes) are the best place to look. If you'd like, I can look up more specifics on what moved to Admin Manager vs Project Manager, or help with anything else SnapLogic-relatedβjust let me know!
This looks like it's about the SnapLogic platform's UI rollout timeline, rather than pipeline building β let me look into that for you. Context on the New UI Rollout Timeline Based on the release history, SnapLogic's UI evolution has actually happened in several distinct phases over the years, which might explain the confusion during your screening: Key Milestones 1. SnapLogic Studio (Preview) β introduced around June/July 2022 - Rolled out incrementally as a "modern, easy-to-use interface" - Started with features like Execution Overview, notifications, and the Infrastructure System overview page - Explicitly labeled as "Preview," meaning adoption was gradual and opt-in for a while 2. IIP UI Redesign β September 2022 - A broader redesign of the core SnapLogic IIP interface (Designer, navigation menus, toolbar icons, user profile dropdown, Universal Search icon change, etc.) - This changed many day-to-day interaction patterns (e.g., where to find Save/Validate/Execute icons, how to access User Settings) 3. Monitor replacing Dashboard β phased between April 2025 and October 2025 - April 2025: Monitor became the default app; Dashboard tab replaced by Monitor tab, but Dashboard still accessible via the waffle menu - October 2025: Dashboard was fully retired - November 2025: All Dashboard documentation removed from Confluence 4. Classic Manager retirement β August 2026 - Classic Manager was fully retired, with Project Manager and Admin Manager providing full feature parity - This is the most recent major structural UI change 5. Designer Asset Palette redesign β August 2026 - The legacy Asset palette was deprecated in favor of a unified left-navigation experience Why Someone Might Seem "Unfamiliar" with the New UI Given this staggered rollout across 2022 through 2026, a few plausible explanations: - Org-level lag: Not all Orgs upgrade Snaplex/UI features at the same time β SnapLogic's release process allows a grace period (~4 weeks + 2 days) before mandatory upgrades, and some settings (like Dashboard access via the waffle menu) persisted for months after a nominal "replacement." - Feature-specific familiarity: Someone could be a active pipeline builder but rarely touch Monitor, Admin Manager, or the Asset Palette β so "unfamiliar with the new UI" could mean unfamiliar with one specific redesigned area, not the whole platform. - Role-based exposure: A user who mainly works in Designer building pipelines may not have engaged with Classic Manager retirement or Admin Manager parity changes at all. - Timing of onboarding: If the person's platform experience predates or significantly lags recent releases, several UI layers (Studio, Monitor, new Asset Palette) could all feel "new" simultaneously. If you'd like, I can pull more detail on any specific UI change (e.g., Monitor vs. Dashboard differences, or the Designer Asset Palette redesign) to help you calibrate what "actively uses the platform" should reasonably mean in your screening criteria.
Ryan F.: I hope the SnapGPT summary of the timeline helped. While the 'new' experience has been available in preview for some years now, and Monitor and Admin Manager have been live for quite a while, some users persisted with the older tools using bookmarked sites, etc. For users of Designer, the changes to that tool since the start of the year may well have been their first visible sign of UX updates.
