+
+Effective June 16th, 2025, New Relic will deprecate the following data exploration user interfaces:
+
+* The Metrics and Events capability
+* Metrics Explorer and Events Explorer within entity views
+
+Instead, users can access the query builder and data explorer by expanding the query console at the bottom of the platform UI.
+
+
+## Background [#bg]
+
+We are committed to enhancing your data querying experiences by streamlining our data exploration tools across the platform. This initiative is aimed at consolidating query building and data exploration into a unified, convenient location, thereby allowing us to innovate and enrich these functionalities further.
+
+## What's happening [#whats-happening]
+### Deprecation details
+
+* **Metrics and Events** Capability: This will be removed from the left menu.
+* **Metrics Explorer** and **Events Explorer**: These will no longer be accessible from the menus on specific entities.
+
+### New access points
+The features previously found in the deprecated tools will be available through the **Query Console** located at the bottom of the platform UI. Our new data explorer includes an intuitive, resizable point-and-click interface to seamlessly understand metrics, timeslices, events, and logs. You will be able to modify queries directly with the shared console between the Query Builder and the Data Explorer.
+
+## What do you need to do [#what-to-do]
+
+* No action is required from your side. You can now access the **query builder** and **data explorer** through the query console at the bottom of the platform UI.
