On 24 June 2026 Agent Studio got a new layout. It’s on by default for everyone — you can revert to the old navigation from your profile menu while you get used to things.

Watch the tour

A quick walkthrough of the new layout, the top toolbar, and where things have moved.

What’s different

Related settings are now grouped together, so you spend less time jumping between sections. The sidebar goes from 29 pages down to 16, and the old Build, Channels, and Configure groups have been replaced with sections that match the task at hand.

The new top-level sections

SectionWhat it contains
HomeStudio Assistant, our natural-language builder. Describe what you want to do in plain language and it does the work for you.
AnalyticsView your KPIs and manage custom metrics.
ConversationsBrowse the full history of your conversations, with PolyScores, search and filtering.
Custom DashboardsBuild, manage and view custom dashboards.
KnowledgeManage your agent’s knowledge base, including FAQs, external sources and variants.
FlowsCreate and manage flows for structured, step-by-step user journeys (e.g. ID&V).
ToolsCreate and manage the tools your agent can use.
TestingCreate, manage and run simulation tests across all channels.
VoiceManage all your voice settings.
MessagingManage all your messaging channel settings (e.g. webchat, SMS, email etc.).
IntegrationsSet up and manage your integrations across app integrations, APIs and MCP connections.
DeploymentsManage deployments, view deployment history and run A/B tests.
WidgetsCreate, manage and deploy your widgets across channels and surfaces.
AccountManage your account settings.
The previous Build / Channels / Configure top-level groups are gone — every page that lived under them now lives in one of the sections above.

Where common features moved

If you have muscle memory for the old sidebar, this is where to look now:
Was: Build > Agent Now: Behavior > General
Was: Build > Knowledge > FAQs Now: Knowledge > FAQs. External sources are under Knowledge > Sources (formerly “Connected Knowledge”).
Was: Build > Variants Now: Knowledge > Variants
Was: Channels > Voice > Voice configuration, Audio management, Response control, Speech recognition Now: All under Voice. Common settings are at the top; less-used options are under Voice > Advanced.
Was: Build > Call handoffs Now: Voice > Handoffs
Was: Configure > Numbers Now: Voice > Numbers
Was: Channels > Chat configuration Now: Messaging. The chat widget moves out to Widgets.
Was: Build > SMS Now: Voice > Message templates. SMS templates sit under Voice because they’re usually triggered from voice handoffs and follow-ups.
Was: Build > Test suite Now: Testing — a dedicated top-level section with Tests (the test list) and Test runs (run history).
Was: Various places under Configure > General and Channels > Voice configuration Now: Behind the Advanced settings button in Behavior. Includes safety filters, phrase filters, and runtime configuration.
Was: Build > Real-time configuration / Configuration builder Now: Real-time config. The schema and data tabs are unchanged.
Was: Analytics > Smart Analyst (standalone top-level page) Now: Part of Studio Assistant. Same questions, same answers — just open Studio Assistant and ask. See Smart Analyst.
Was: Configure > Metrics, Configure > Post-call reporting Now: Analytics > KPIs and Analytics > Post-call reporting
Was: Configure > Dashboards Now: Analytics > Dashboards
Was: Configure > APIs Now: Integrations > API integrations
Was: Configure > General, User management, API keys Now: All under Account
Was: Configure > Call data Now: Settings > Call data

Removed

Old URLs still work

Every page in the old sidebar redirects to its new location, so existing bookmarks, links in old emails, and links in your help-desk macros continue to work. You don’t need to update anything urgently.

Reverting (temporary)

If you need the old sidebar while you migrate internal docs or run training:
  1. Open your profile menu (top-right).
  2. Toggle Use previous navigation.
The revert toggle will stay available for a short period after launch, then be removed.

Questions?

  • Open Studio Assistant and ask “where do I find …?” — it’ll point you to the right page.
  • Or reach out to your account manager or the customer Slack channel.
