We’ve refreshed Service Bus Cloud Explorer (SBCE) with a cleaner, lighter interface that reduces distractions and makes it easier to focus on your queues and messages. Smaller, refined icons and layout adjustments give the app a more modern, streamlined feel.
Alongside this design update, we’ve added several powerful new features to improve how you work with Service Bus messages. Let’s take a look:

Collapsible Sidebar

The sidebar contains navigation to your Namespaces, Queues, and Topics. With the new Collapsible Sidebar feature, you can toggle between “focus mode” (sidebar hidden) and “navigation mode” (sidebar visible).

This is especially useful when reviewing large messages or working on smaller screens.

With Quick Search, you can:

  • Instantly locate messages by Message ID, Correlation ID, or Custom Properties.
  • Search within Dead-letter Queues (DLQ) or regular queues.
  • Use partial matches (e.g., entering part of a GUID or keyword).

💡 Tip: Quick Search works best when you know a unique identifier, such as a Message ID. For advanced filtering scenarios, use the Filters function in the message grid.

Select Messages with Checkboxes

With the new Select Checkboxes feature, you can:

  • Easily select one or more messages from the grid without keyboard shortcuts.
  • Perform bulk operations using the Select All checkbox.
  • Save time when working with large sets of messages.

Why This Matters

These updates are designed with one goal: to help you work more efficiently in SBCE.

  • Quick Search lets you jump straight to the message you need.
  • Collapsible Sidebar gives you more room when working with large messages.
  • Select Checkboxes make it easy to perform bulk actions and save time.
  • A cleaner design makes it easier to concentrate on your queues.

The result is a faster, distraction-free, and more user-friendly experience.
