Coming soon: A modernized navigation and workspace experience for SonarQube

Hello Sonar Community :waving_hand: - exciting news from the Product UX team :star_struck:

We are beginning the progressive roll out of a refreshed user interface for both SonarQube Cloud and SonarQube Server.

What to expect. This update is a key step towards aligning the design and experience of SonarQube Cloud and SonarQube Server. We are moving from a product-specific navigation to a unified platform with a seamless, consistent experience.

Key changes

  • Vertical Navigation: We’ve moved the horizontal top menu to a vertical sidebar. This makes navigating between different spaces (such as moving from Organization to a Project, Project to an issue) faster and more intuitive.

  • Updated information architecture: Navigation items are now grouped to be easier to find contextually (e.g., Analysis, Reporting, Policies, Access).

  • New context switcher: A new area in the left navigation bar allows you to easily jump between enterprises, organizations, portfolios, and projects without losing your place.

When can I access the new UI?

SonarQube Cloud: A progressive beta rollout for SonarQube Cloud begins at the end of January. Selected users will have the opportunity to opt in and experience the new UI. This phased approach allows us to gather feedback, and make adjustments before the full switch in late March.

If you opt-in, you can opt out again for a limited time during the beta. We will provide a direct channel for you to leave your feedback. We consider it a gift :blush:

SonarQube Server: These changes are planned for release later this quarter.

Thanks
The Sonar UX squad
