Each protection has its own section, with its issues, detections, report, and settings in one place. {% embed url="" %} *** ## 🧭 The new navigation at a glance
Material's new navigation layout, showing the top toolbar and protection sections.

New navigation layout, including the top toolbar and protection sections.

* **Top of the left navigation:** Overview, All Issues, Explorer * **Email Protections:** Email Threats, User Reports, Email Bomb Attacks, Email Redaction, Email Identity Protection, Simulations * **Workspace Protections:** Google Drive Security, OAuth Security * **Detections:** Detections, Sensitive Categories, Trusted Entities * **Top toolbar:** Audit Log, Integrations, Documentation, Settings *** ## :sparkles: What's New Previously, the navigation was organized by entity types and detection categories. That's how Material is built, but it's not always how you think about security. The new navigation is organized around the outcomes you care about, like stopping email threats, triaging user reports, and keeping sensitive files from being overshared. Here's what to expect: * **Sections built around security outcomes.** The navigation now groups pages under **Email Protections** (**Email Threats**, **User Reports**, **Email Bomb Attacks**, **Email Redaction**, **Email Identity Protection**, and **Simulations**) and **Workspace Protections** (**Google Drive Security** and **OAuth Security**). * **Focused issue and detection lists.** Each section has its own issues and detections, so you see what's relevant to that area without having to filter the full list yourself. * **Settings where you need them.** Each type of protection has its own settings, right next to the issues and detections they affect. Settings that apply to your whole organization or to a specific domain stay together in global settings. * **Audit Log** now lives in the top toolbar, next to the Settings icon. * **Familiar pages in new homes.** The reports and inventories you use today aren't going away. They're moving into the section they belong to. * **Everything else in one place.** **All Issues** and **Explorer** stay at the top of the navigation, and **Detections**, **Sensitive Categories**, and **Trusted Entities** now share their own section. * **A clearer view of what Material can do.** You'll be able to see every capability available to your organization, including ones you haven't turned on yet. *** ## 🔄 What's different * **Reports and settings now live inside each protection.** The standalone Reports section is gone, and feature settings moved out of Settings. * **Settings in the top toolbar** now holds only global, tenant, and domain-level settings. * **Audit Log** moved to the top toolbar. *** ## 📍 Where to find common things | What you're looking for | Previous location | New location | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Issues list | **Issues** | **All Issues** (out-of-the-box views removed) | | Email threat settings (Material detections, provider alerts, issue triage) | **Settings** > **Email Threats** | **Email Threats** > **Settings** | | Email threats report | **Reports** > **Email Threats** | **Email Threats** > **Report** | | User report settings | **Settings** > **Email Threats** > **User Reports** | **User Reports** > **Settings** | | Simulation settings | **Settings** > **Email Threats** > **Simulation** | **Simulations** > **Settings** | | Grace periods and third-party categories | **Settings** > **ATO Resilience** | **Email Redaction** > **Settings** (**Grace Periods**, **Third-Party Categories**) | | Email data security reports (sensitive content, redaction) | **Reports** > **Email Data Security** | **Email Redaction** > **Report** (one combined report) | | Message access log | **Audit Log** > **Message Access Log** | **Email Redaction** > **Message Access Log** | | Force unlock requests | **Audit Log** > **Force Unlock Requests** | **Email Redaction** > **Force Unlock Requests** | | Identity threat settings | **Settings** > **ATO Resilience** > **Identity Threats** | **Email Identity Protection** > **Settings** | | Identity threats report | **Reports** > **Identity Threats** | **Email Identity Protection** > **Report** | | Email verification apps | **Explorer** > **Apps** > **Email Verification** | **Email Identity Protection** > **Email Verification Apps** | | Google Drive settings | **Settings** > **Google Drive** | **Google Drive Security** > **Settings** | | Google Drive security report | **Reports** > **File Security** | **Google Drive Security** > **Report** | | OAuth app settings | **Settings** > **OAuth Apps** | **OAuth Security** > **Settings** | | Usage summary | **Reports** > **Usage** | **Settings** > **Usage** | | Detections, Sensitive Categories, Trusted Entities | **Detect** | **Detections** section | | Audit Log | **Audit Log** (left navigation) | Top toolbar | | Investigations | **Investigations** | Removed, navigate to the relevant protection on the left | | VIP Impersonation (moved in version 1.56) | **Settings** > **Organization Profile** > **VIP Designation** | **Explorer** > **Account(s) > Settings** | *** ## 🚫 What's going away * The out-of-the-box custom issue views, replaced by the Global views * The `Category` field on issues and webhooks will eventually be replaced by the protection name. If you use webhooks or a SIEM integration, plan for this change. *** ## ✅ What didn't change Overview, Explorer (except Email Verification apps, which moved to Email Identity Protection), Integrations, and Documentation. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.material.security/introducing-materials-updated-navigation.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
