Hi team,  
I need to move left side panel of kibana interface(Discover, Visualize, Dashboard, Managament, Dev Tools and so on) to top and change some bahavior .  
Please, guide what is fastest way to do it and also whether it possible to just edit React kibana interface components in the opensource code ?

@masterThomas there isn't a "supported" way to do what you're asking. It's possible to fork the Kibana repo and make these changes, but that's going to require a ton of maintenance as we continue to release new versions of Kibana. I'm not aware of any "prior art" which will guide these efforts either.
