There is "View indices linked to policy" in the following URL,  
Can I use it with Elastic 6.6.0?

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-index-lifecycle-policies.html#managing-index-lifecycle-policies](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-index-lifecycle-policies.html#managing-index-lifecycle-policies)

I feel that I can not use it when I checked the screen.

The option only shows up if you actually have indices that are linked to the policy.

I understand. Certainly, that were not linked to the policy.
