Hi, everyone

I have noticed that **kibana.defaultAppId** is deprecated and will be removed in **8.0**. Kibana's documentation inform to use **defaultRoute**.

This parameter can be used on **kibana.yml**?

Thanks in advance,

Rodrigo

Hi @RdrgPorto,

This new setting can be set in the `kibana.yml` file. It will also become read only in the advance settings UI.

You can change the `defaultRoute` by setting something like the following inside `kibana.yml` file:

```auto
uiSettings:
  overrides:
    defaultRoute: '/app/canvas'

```
