Current UI boundaries

What do I see?
Some controls are intentionally visible but not yet active (coming soon), such as parts of schema evolution and placeholder filters.

What can I do?
Use the active tabs for core operations and switch to the API reference for deeper automation.

When should I use this?
Use this when a feature appears in UI but is intentionally unavailable today.
