Farewell neo4j webadmin

  1. Is there a specific reason that webadmin was deprecated and then finally removed in 2.3.0? Was its presence impeding something?

  2. I'm used to using the webadmin visualisation to browse around nodes and relationships. This is not working in the browser visualisation as nodes are displayed without a hint of its relationships. Only if another neighbouring node is display, does the relationship between them get displayed. (See attached screenshots) So, is there a way to casually browse around the nodes, just to see what's there? (I used to be able to just enter a single node ID and start browsing.)

  3. (Bonus question) Can you please bring webadmin back, just for a little while longer? Its loss gives me yet another learning curve I really don't need right now.

The webadmin endpoint has been inadvertently removed in 2.3RC1, this also cause that you can not get the schema back when issuing the :schema command, check here :

This has been fixed in 2.3.0GA

Webadmin has been deprecated in Neo4j 2.3.0, but is still available. There is a banner that appears first with a message about the deprecation, but once that is closed webadmin is still there.

Webadmin will only be removed when it has been obviated by the capabilities of Neo4j Browser. For that, I appreciate the feedback about the aspects of webadmin which you find valuable. We'll take that into account as we work to improve Neo4j Browser.

Best, Andreas
