+=== New alerting framework
+
+beta:[]Alerting allows you to detect complex conditions in
+{kib} apps and trigger actions when those conditions are met.
+Alerting is integrated with {kibana-ref}/xpack-apm.html[APM], {kibana-ref}/xpack-infra.html[Metrics],
+{kibana-ref}/xpack-siem.html[SIEM], and {kibana-ref}/xpack-uptime.html[Uptime] and is
+centrally managed from {kibana-ref}/management.html[Management].
+Alerting has built-in {kibana-ref}/action-types.html[actions] and
+{kibana-ref}/alert-types.html[alerts] for you to use.

+[[lens-filtering-highlights]]
+=== Improved filtering of Lens visualizations in dashboards
+
+Digging into the Lens visualizations on your

+Lens visualization, and immediately apply that filter to all
+Lens visualizations on the dashboard.

+[[map-points-highlights]]
+=== Individual map points on zoom
+
+*Elastic Maps* improves the way you work with large amounts of coordinate data.
+With the new default setting, points are clustered on a map until you zoom into an area with
+less than 10,000 discrete points.  Then, you'll see
+individual points. This feature is useful for map data
+points that are in both dense urban areas and rural locations.

+[[map-distance-filter-highlights]]
+=== Distance filters in Elastic Maps
+
+The distance filter is a new way
+to filter map data
+within a specific radius.  Simply select a
+central location, and then draw a circle around it with your mouse.
+The distance filter is in addition to the tools for filtering data by custom shape and by rectangular bound.
