G'Day y'all,  
This week we will be making changes to the current layout of these forums.

The largest single change will be the removal of the individual Beats categories, which will be converted into tags under a single Beats category. All existing posts will be retagged and moved, so nothing will be lost. Otherwise, there will be some migration of the existing categories, which we are implementing with the goal of making it easier for our community to navigate and use this space.

If you have any questions or feedback, please reach out to us in this topic 😃

Regards,  
The Elastic Community Team :elasticheart:
