# Demo Terraform Cloud Interface Updates

> This guide covers the latest user interface enhancements in Terraform Cloud, comparing new navigation with the legacy layout and highlighting key workspace features.

Terraform Cloud is a fully managed service by HashiCorp, designed to streamline infrastructure as code workflows. In this guide, we’ll walk through the latest user interface enhancements, compare the new HashiCorp Cloud Platform navigation with the legacy layout, and highlight key workspace features.

## Signing In and Organization Selection

When you log in to Terraform Cloud with two-factor authentication enabled, a new dark sidebar replaces the previous purple navigation bar. This sidebar lists all organizations you belong to and provides context-switching tips:

On the left, there is a welcome message explaining what organizations are and how to change them.](https://kodekloud.com/kk-media/image/upload/v1752878719/notes-assets/images/HashiCorp-Terraform-Cloud-Demo-Terraform-Cloud-Interface-Updates/terraform-cloud-organizations-interface.jpg)
</Frame>

  If you prefer the classic look, click **Change to legacy navigation** at the bottom of the sidebar to restore the purple bar.
</Callout>

## Legacy Interface: Workspace Dashboard

With the legacy layout active, your dashboard presents a straightforward list of workspaces alongside their most recent run statuses. This view is ideal if you prefer minimal navigation elements and quick visibility into run results:

</Frame>

## Exploring the New Navigation

To switch back to the updated HashiCorp Cloud Platform interface, enable **HashiCorp Cloud Platform navigation** in your user settings. The new sidebar (bottom-left) lets you:

* Switch between organizations
* Access organization settings, including the Private Module Registry
* Quickly jump to global notifications and account settings

Within an organization, select **Workspaces** to open the workspace overview. The classic tabs—**Runs**, **State**, **Variables**, and **Settings**—now appear in the left-hand pane:

It includes metrics, resource changes, and settings options.](https://kodekloud.com/kk-media/image/upload/v1752878721/notes-assets/images/HashiCorp-Terraform-Cloud-Demo-Terraform-Cloud-Interface-Updates/terraform-cloud-workspace-devops-aws.jpg)

## Workspace Settings

Under **Settings** for a specific workspace (shown below for “devops-aws-myapp-dev”), you can:

* Choose execution mode (remote vs. local)
* Add or edit workspace descriptions
* Configure run triggers and notifications

## Switching Between Interfaces

Terraform Cloud’s UI continues to evolve. Being comfortable with both the new HashiCorp Cloud Platform interface and the legacy navigation ensures you can navigate efficiently, regardless of future updates.
