[frontend] Missing the left-side menu bar in KFP UI v1.7.1

[daikeshi]

After we upgraded KFP and its UI image version from 1.3 to 1.7.1, we noticed that the left-side menu bar is missing in KFP UI v1.71. Is there any way we can bring it back? Thanks

Environment

• How did you deploy Kubeflow Pipelines (KFP)? It's deployed via OSS Kubeflow stack

• KFP version: 1.7.1

Steps to reproduce

KFP UI v1.3

KFP UI v1.7.1

Expected result

The UI should be consistent and offer a way for users to navigate different features easily

Hello @daikeshi , I am wondering how do you install the Kubeflow OSS? The KFP UI is hidden because it detects the existence of Central dashboard, if Central dashboard exists, Pipelines related left nav items are merged to Central dashboard. But I don't see the central dashboard from your screenshot, maybe you can click the three lines icon on top left?

@zijianjoy thanks! I see. We deployed KFP along with OSS central dashboard component with our customized Kubeflow setup.

Yeah, clicking the three lines icon on the top will bring the central dashboard menu selection back, but our users typically don't use it and we are on an older version of the central dashboard (there's a bug the link there requires a page refresh). Would it be possible to override HIDE_SIDENAV flag on my end via the deployment?
