Modernized Navigation For Visual Studio Team Services

There is a new global header on top of every page, having quick access links that will make user navigation very easy.

The left navigation with collapsed feature is great since now, we have more space to work. This is mainly used while doing planning and task updates using a Kanban board.


Here, they have addressed one challenge, that is pinpointing where specifically you are within VSTS.

We also have summary, dashboards, and Wiki under Overview so that we have a clear alignment of shared functionality along with ensuring that these features remain discoverable if an individual service is disabled.

Create New

A very cool new feature is the 'Create New' button next to the project name . This helps to create something from anywhere in the project.



My work: From the My work items Tab, users can easily manage work items, pull requests, and access favorite items as shown in the below screen.


My Work tab is available at the upper right of every page, it provides quick access to the items you care about, no matter where you are in VSTS.


Settings

The navigation was confusing previously, so to solve that VSTS has introduced a different navigation within settings and grouped them by their associated service. You can turn individual services on and off in each project as well.
