Console
Welcome banner enhanced in Bridge Console: The Bridge Console now has a configurable and dismissible welcome banner that maximizes dashboard space while preserving key context. Users can collapse or dismiss the banner to reduce clutter and improve usability for data-dense views and smaller screens. Banner preferences persist at the user profile level across sessions, accounts, and devices. Once dismissed, the banner remains hidden until it is restored from the Widget Library (Dashboard Manager). The banner defaults to a collapsed state on smaller screens, ensuring a responsive and space-efficient experience.
Services menu redesigned: The Console introduces a redesigned Services menu that organizes offerings into a structured, domain-based navigation model, replacing the previous flat and service-heavy layout. Services are now grouped under clearly defined domains with a distinct separation between Kyndryl Services and Platform Services, enabling a more logical and intuitive browsing experience. This update improves discoverability, reduces cognitive load, and allows users to locate and access services more efficiently. The scalable structure supports the onboarding of new services while preserving existing permissions, favorites, and navigation behavior, ensuring a seamless and consistent experience.
Administration menu redesigned: The global main menu now includes a dedicated Administration menu that centralizes administrative capabilities into a structured, role-aware experience across Bridge. This update replaces the previous Manage & Administer menu and organizes capabilities into functional categories. Existing administrative tools remain unchanged, while role-based access control (RBAC) ensures that users can access only authorized capabilities. Legacy capabilities are labeled as (legacy), and external-link behavior remains consistent. This enhancement improves discoverability, simplifies navigation, and enables faster access to administrative tools through a consistent and scalable platform experience.
Recently Viewed introduced in Console: The Console includes a Recently Viewed option that captures and displays the last accessed pages and dashboards directly within the global navigation menu. The list updates dynamically based on user activity and displays up to 10 recent items, allowing users to quickly return to previously viewed content without manual configuration. In multi-account environments, it maintains a separate history per account to ensure account-specific visibility. The feature enforces existing access permissions across sessions and provides a streamlined navigation experience.
Favorites menu redesigned: The Favorites menu is now available in a dedicated flyout in the navigation header instead of the main navigation, enabling quick access to frequently used pages. Users can mark or remove items as favorites directly from supported pages and view them in a centralized panel. Each user can maintain up to 10 favorites, with prompts to remove an existing item when the limit is reached. Favorites are stored per user per account and persist across sessions, improving navigation efficiency and enabling a more personalized, streamlined experience.
Catalog navigation redesigned: Catalog navigation introduces a dedicated Catalogs section in the navigation menu, replacing the previous Enterprise Catalogs menu. All available catalogs are now centralized in a single, structured view, enabling users to browse and access catalogs directly from the navigation panel. This update improves discoverability and usability, reduces navigation effort and ensures users can access only authorized catalogs through a consistent and scalable model.
Console menu redesigned: The Console navigation is redesigned to improve clarity, consistency, and ease of use. Home is now Bridge Home, Intelligence is now Dashboards, Actionable Insights is now Operational Insights, and AIOps IT Health Indicators is now AIOps IT Health Indicators Dashboard. A new All Dashboards entry is available under Dashboards, while Business Service Insights and Business Console are now labeled as legacy applications and identified with launch-out icons. The navigation order is also standardized, and a new Favorites feature allows users to pin frequently used items for quick access, helping users navigate more efficiently and find content faster.
Consolidated Knowledge & AI capabilities in Service menu: Knowledge & AI capabilities are now available under a dedicated Knowledge & AI section in the Console Service menu. Core applications have been re-homed from Manage, Administer, and the Agent Library is introduced as a new entry. This update provides a single, intuitive access point, reduces navigation complexity, and improves discoverability, while preserving existing permissions and functionality.

Platform Services
- Tag management now supports bulk importing of tag definitions: The ability to import tag definitions is available for both account-level tags (Distributed Control Plane) and global tags (Global Control Plane). This feature significantly reduces the time required to add tag definitions (tag schema) individually through the user interface, making it easier for tag administrators to import multiple tag definitions at once. Moreover, once imported, these definitions are activated and become immediately available for use by various applications and services in Bridge. The system meticulously tracks all tag definition creation details, ensuring comprehensive oversight.
Network & Edge
- Onboarding network devices to Network Configuration Management tool now supported: Network devices can now be onboarded to the Network Configuration Management tool using the current consolidated onboarding process. The consolidated onboarding process ensures network devices are onboarded concurrently to all tools in the Network Service Hub stack.
