Legacy Projects vs Applications
Map legacy Projects to Applications, Environments, and Services; links for mixed legacy/new rollout states.

dFlow is standardizing on Applications as the primary hub for shipping work.
Legacy Projects remain reachable during migration so existing workloads stay safe. Organisations can be mixed: some resources already live under Applications, others only under the legacy hub, and bookmarks may still use old /project/... paths that redirect to an Application root.
Mental model shift
What you should do
- Prefer creating new work under Applications.
- When you move a legacy Project, follow Migrate from legacy Projects to Applications under Migration and Release Notes in the sidebar under Migration and Release Notes (manual wizard, redirects, shared compute, legacy hub access).
- Read Product model changes under Migration and Release Notes in the sidebar for how entities and URLs changed on the server.
- If navigation differs between teammates, standardise on Application β Environment β Service URLs for anything new; use the legacy Projects hub only for unmigrated work (see the migration guide for how to open it).
