Splunk Search

Tutorial seems inaccurate or my instance of Splunk Cloud is busted

Specifically at this stage of the tutorial "https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/8.0.0/SearchTutorial/Aboutthesearchapp" I don't have Element 7 "What to search". Which means I can't click on Data Summary as it doesn't exist.

Just wondering if this has moved or maybe the tutorial needs updating. While writing this I've found if I search for source="tutorialdata.zip:*" that I can see the data but it seems a little backwards to search specifically for it as the tutorial seems to be showing me how to just do a general search.

Login to splunk.com, go to that docs page, scroll to the bottom and fill out the Was this topic useful section with a No and I found an error and a link to this page. @ccgales and team are excellent and will fix the page or the app in cloud ASAP.
