+#### Try it: Create an index template [_try_it_create_an_index_template]
+
+In this tutorial, you’ll create an index template and use it to configure two new indices.
+
+##### Step 1. Add a name and index pattern
+
+1. In the **Index Templates** view, open the **Create template** wizard.
+
+    :::{image} /manage-data/images/elasticsearch-reference-management_index_create_wizard.png
+    :alt: Create wizard
+    :screenshot:
+    :::
+
+2. In the **Name** field, enter `my-index-template`.
+3. Set **Index pattern** to `my-index-*` so the template matches any index with that index pattern.
+4. Leave **Data Stream**, **Priority**, **Version**, and **_meta field** blank or as-is.
+
+##### Step 2. Add settings, mappings, and aliases
+
+When creating an index template, you can define settings, mappings, and aliases directly in the template or include them through one or more component templates.
+
+A [component template](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-cluster-put-component-template) is a type of [template](/manage-data/data-store/templates.md) used as a building block for constructing index templates. {{kib}} displays badges indicating whether a component template contains mappings (**M**), index settings (**S**), aliases (**A**), or a combination of the three.
+
+1. Add component templates to your index template.
+
+    Component templates are optional. For this tutorial, do not add any component templates.
+
+    :::{image} /manage-data/images/elasticsearch-reference-management_index_component_template.png
+    :alt: Component templates page
+    :screenshot:
+    :::
+
+2. Define index settings directly in the index template. When used in conjunction with component templates, settings defined directly in the index template override any conflicting settings from the associated component templates.
+
+    This step is optional. For this tutorial, leave this section blank.
+3. Define mappings directly in the index template. When used in conjunction with component templates, these mappings override any conflicting definitions from the associated component templates.
+
+    Define a mapping that contains an [object](elasticsearch://reference/elasticsearch/mapping-reference/object.md) field named `geo` with a child [`geo_point`](elasticsearch://reference/elasticsearch/mapping-reference/geo-point.md) field named `coordinates`:
+
+    :::{image} /manage-data/images/elasticsearch-reference-management-index-templates-mappings.png
+    :alt: Mapped fields page
+    :screenshot:
+    :::
+
+    Alternatively, you can click the **Load JSON** link and define the mapping as JSON:
+
+    ```js
+    {
+      "properties": {
+        "geo": {
+          "properties": {
+            "coordinates": {
+              "type": "geo_point"
+            }
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+    ```
+
+    You can create additional mapping configurations in the **Dynamic templates** and **Advanced options** tabs. For this tutorial, do not create any additional mappings.
+
+4. Define an alias named `my-index`:
+
+    ```js
+    {
+      "my-index": {}
+    }
+    ```
+
+5. On the review page, check the summary. If everything looks right, click **Create template**.
+
+##### Step 3. Create new indices
+
+You’re now ready to create new indices using your index template.
+
+1. Index the following documents to create two indices: `my-index-000001` and `my-index-000002`.
+
+    ```console
+    POST /my-index-000001/_doc
+    {
+      "@timestamp": "2019-05-18T15:57:27.541Z",

+
+2. Use the [get index API](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-indices-get) to view the configurations for the new indices. The indices were configured using the index template you created earlier.

 # Index management in Kibana [index-mgmt]
 
-{{kib}}'s **Index Management** features are an easy, convenient way to manage your cluster’s indices, [data streams](../../data-store/data-streams.md), [index templates](../../data-store/templates.md), and [enrich policies](../../ingest/transform-enrich/data-enrichment.md). Practicing good index management ensures your data is stored correctly and in the most cost-effective way possible.
-
-To use these features, go to **Stack Management** > **Index Management**.
-
-
-## Required permissions [index-mgm-req-permissions]
-
-If you use {{es}} {{security-features}}, the following [security privileges](../../../deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/elasticsearch-privileges.md) are required:
-
-* The `monitor` cluster privilege to access {{kib}}'s **Index Management** features.
-* The `view_index_metadata` and `manage` index privileges to view a data stream or index’s data.
-* The `manage_index_templates` cluster privilege to manage index templates.
-
-To add these privileges, go to **Stack Management > Security > Roles** or use the [Create or update roles API](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-security-put-role).

-
-Investigate your data streams and address lifecycle management needs in the **Data Streams** view.
-
-The value in the **Indices** column indicates the number of backing indices. Click this number to drill down into details.
-
-A value in the data retention column indicates that the data stream is managed by a [data stream lifecycle policy](../data-stream.md). This value is the time period for which your data is guaranteed to be stored. Data older than this period can be deleted by Elasticsearch at a later time.

-
-
-### Try it: Create an index template [_try_it_create_an_index_template]
-
-In this tutorial, you’ll create an index template and use it to configure two new indices.
-
-**Step 1. Add a name and index pattern**
-
-1. In the **Index Templates** view, open the **Create template** wizard.
-
-    :::{image} /manage-data/images/elasticsearch-reference-management_index_create_wizard.png
-    :alt: Create wizard
-    :screenshot:
-    :::
-
-2. In the **Name** field, enter `my-index-template`.
-3. Set **Index pattern** to `my-index-*` so the template matches any index with that index pattern.
-4. Leave **Data Stream**, **Priority**, **Version**, and **_meta field** blank or as-is.
-
-**Step 2. Add settings, mappings, and aliases**
-
-1. Add [component templates](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-cluster-put-component-template) to your index template.
-
-    Component templates are pre-configured sets of mappings, index settings, and aliases you can reuse across multiple index templates. Badges indicate whether a component template contains mappings (**M**), index settings (**S**), aliases (**A**), or a combination of the three.
-
-    Component templates are optional. For this tutorial, do not add any component templates.
-
-    :::{image} /manage-data/images/elasticsearch-reference-management_index_component_template.png
-    :alt: Component templates page
-    :screenshot:
-    :::
-
-2. Define index settings. These are optional. For this tutorial, leave this section blank.
-3. Define a mapping that contains an [object](elasticsearch://reference/elasticsearch/mapping-reference/object.md) field named `geo` with a child [`geo_point`](elasticsearch://reference/elasticsearch/mapping-reference/geo-point.md) field named `coordinates`:
-
-    :::{image} /manage-data/images/elasticsearch-reference-management-index-templates-mappings.png
-    :alt: Mapped fields page
-    :screenshot:
-    :::
-
-    Alternatively, you can click the **Load JSON** link and define the mapping as JSON:
-
-    ```js
-    {
-      "properties": {
-        "geo": {
-          "properties": {
-            "coordinates": {
-              "type": "geo_point"
-            }
-          }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-    ```
-
-    You can create additional mapping configurations in the **Dynamic templates** and **Advanced options** tabs. For this tutorial, do not create any additional mappings.
-
-4. Define an alias named `my-index`:
-
-    ```js
-    {
-      "my-index": {}
-    }
-    ```
-
-5. On the review page, check the summary. If everything looks right, click **Create template**.
-
-**Step 3. Create new indices**
-
-You’re now ready to create new indices using your index template.
-
-1. Index the following documents to create two indices: `my-index-000001` and `my-index-000002`.
-
-    ```console
-    POST /my-index-000001/_doc
-    {
-      "@timestamp": "2019-05-18T15:57:27.541Z",
-      "ip": "225.44.217.191",
-      "extension": "jpg",
-      "response": "200",
-      "geo": {
-        "coordinates": {
-          "lat": 38.53146222,
-          "lon": -121.7864906
-        }
-      },
-      "url": "https://media-for-the-masses.theacademyofperformingartsandscience.org/uploads/charles-fullerton.jpg"
-    }
-
-    POST /my-index-000002/_doc
-    {
-      "@timestamp": "2019-05-20T03:44:20.844Z",
-      "ip": "198.247.165.49",
-      "extension": "php",
-      "response": "200",
-      "geo": {
-        "coordinates": {
-          "lat": 37.13189556,
-          "lon": -76.4929875
-        }
-      },
-      "memory": 241720,
-      "url": "https://theacademyofperformingartsandscience.org/people/type:astronauts/name:laurel-b-clark/profile"
-    }
-    ```
-
-2. Use the [get index API](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-indices-get) to view the configurations for the new indices. The indices were configured using the index template you created earlier.
-
-    ```console
-    GET /my-index-000001,my-index-000002
-    ```
-
-
-
-## Manage enrich policies [manage-enrich-policies]
-
-Use the **Enrich Policies** view to add data from your existing indices to incoming documents during ingest. An enrich policy contains:
-
-* The policy type that determines how the policy matches the enrich data to incoming documents
-* The source indices that store enrich data as documents
-* The fields from the source indices used to match incoming documents
-* The enrich fields containing enrich data from the source indices that you want to add to incoming documents
-* An optional [query](elasticsearch://reference/query-languages/query-dsl/query-dsl-match-all-query.md).
-
-:::{image} /manage-data/images/elasticsearch-reference-management-enrich-policies.png
-:alt: Enrich policies
-:screenshot:
-:::
-
-When creating an enrich policy, the UI walks you through the configuration setup and selecting the fields. Before you can use the policy with an enrich processor or {{esql}} query, you must execute the policy.
-
-When executed, an enrich policy uses enrich data from the policy’s source indices to create a streamlined system index called the enrich index. The policy uses this index to match and enrich incoming documents.
-
-Check out these examples:
-
-* [Example: Enrich your data based on geolocation](../../ingest/transform-enrich/example-enrich-data-based-on-geolocation.md)
-* [Example: Enrich your data based on exact values](../../ingest/transform-enrich/example-enrich-data-based-on-exact-values.md)
-* [Example: Enrich your data by matching a value to a range](../../ingest/transform-enrich/example-enrich-data-by-matching-value-to-range.md)
