The JFrog DevOps Platform, powered by Artifactory 7, introduces a new unified experience across all JFrog products and services. Any JFrog product or service that you use today, including Artifactory, Xray, Mission Control, and Distribution can now be accessed through one central UI. 

Here are just a few key items that you may come across in the new version!

**Global Search Experience** 
Available to all users from OSS to Enterprise+. *(Note: Security and Compliance search requires [JFrog Xray](https://jfrog.com/xray/), and Release Bundles search requires [JFrog Distribution](https://jfrog.com/distribution/))*

The JFrog Platform introduces a unified search experience for data across all JFrog Products.
Through one convenient search bar, you can select to search for packages, builds, artifacts, release bundles, or security/compliance information.
You can narrow your search through advanced search options that empower you to filter by name, package type, property, security vulnerability, and more.

**New Packages View** 
Provides package native information for all package types supported by Artifactory *(excluding Git LFS and Generic packages)*.
If [JFrog Xray](https://jfrog.com/xray/) and/or [JFrog Distribution](https://jfrog.com/distribution/) are installed, vulnerability and software distribution information can be found directly in the packages tab.

In prior versions of Artifactory, the Packages UI provided information only for Docker and npm packages. With the release of Artifactory 7.x and the JFrog Platform, the Packages view includes all package types supported by Artifactory *(excluding Git LFS and Generic packages)*. The package type list and more information can be found in the [JFrog Platform package management documentation](https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/Package+Management).

**Dashboard View**
With [JFrog Mission Control](https://jfrog.com/mission-control/) installed the Dashboard provides you with two main components.

Topology Tab
![Alt Text](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/od54dn5ivvilosr36t50.png)
The Topology Tab provides a visualization of all of your JFrog Platform Deployments *(or JPDs)* across the globe in a single pane of glass. 
You can see the general health status of services, visualize replication and Access Federation connections across your topology, and drill down into more detailed information as you need.

Trends Tab

*(Image: Storage Trends Example)*
The Trends Tab provides in-depth health and performance information about your JPDs by tracking metrics around storage, security, distribution, and replication.
