Horizon UI is brand new to Sitecore in the latest major release, Sitecore 9.3. You can access the feature by clicking on the new Horizon tile located on your dashboard, next to the Experience Editor (EE) tile. This does need to be installed as a separate module. The goal of Horizon UI is to eventually replace EE. It may be a while before that happens though due to Horizon UI not containing many feature EE has.
Features
- Page Editor - Allows you to create and edit web pages. As you edit a page, you can see how it will appear on different devices.
- Simulator Mode - Allows you to preview web pages as they will appear on different dates and on different devices.
- Insights View - Allows you to see analytics for your web pages.

Even though Horizon UI has many features missing from what the module will have once it replaces EE, it is still great to see what the future of Sitecore looks like. As mentioned in my post about highlighting some features released with Sitecore 9.3, Horizon UI is a great way to prepare for the future of your solution. Especially with the introduction of Sitecore SaaS coming in summer of 2020.
