# Consolidated Admin

What's new in Consolidated Admin - due in November 2026 (26.11)

Available alongside existing Classic theme pages for now, try out the new functionality in Consolidated Admin and [give us your feedback](/getting-started/contact-us.md).

### Insight UI theme

Bringing Admin in line with Status and Reporting, a clean, modern UI with dark mode available.  As part of this, it's now possible to add two logos to service tiles for dark and light modes. &#x20;

Find out more about [Insight UI](/getting-started/useful-information/insight-ui.md).

### One page for all

Locate and edit folders, locations, users, containers, controllers, all watch types, and agents from the same page.  The Consolidated Admin page replaces Browse, Controllers and Agents and brings a consistent user experience to the Admin role with slide-in panels and accordions to group settings.&#x20;

### Recursive deletion

Those who have previously had to delete an entire folder in Highlight by first deleting watches, then users, then locations....will be pleased to know it's now possible to delete a folder AND ALL ITS CONTENTS.  Please pay careful attention to the confirmation message as it's not possible to recover all items if deleted in error. &#x20;

Find out more about [recursive deletion](/admin/admin-general-details/deletion.md).&#x20;

### AI searching

Simply describe what you are looking for in plain English and the results show just the matching items. Jump straight to any match in the hierarchy. Search across a wide range of attributes, not just names: what something is, how it is configured, and its current state. Combine searches with semi-colon delimited conditions such as *dormant watches; watches with an upstream of > 100MB; cameras*. You can also save the searches you run most often and recall them in a click.\
\
Searches returning "No results" are logged and reviewed to see if the search function can be improved. &#x20;

### Expand/Collapse folders&#x20;

Use a double click to quickly expand and collapse folders giving you an overview of everything from the current folder and below. This also works for locations and agent groups. &#x20;

### SNMP Pending page

This page remains separate and has been updated to the Insight UI theme. &#x20;

### Future enhancements

WiFi Controllers and Test Templates show in the hierarchy but cannot be edited yet. Bulk operations (create as enabled/disabled) are not yet available in Consolidated Admin.  &#x20;

# 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.highlight.net/admin/consolidated-admin.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
