Where is the Datastore Admin in the new Developers Console?

As of today, the Datastore Admin (along with a lot of other menu options) in the old App Engine console is greyed out and struck strough, with a tool tip saying "This feature has moved to the new Developers Console". But clicking on it leads to me to the Datastore Dashboard, no Datastore Admin appears to be available in the Developers Console.

Am I overlooking the Datastore Admin in the Developers Console, and if so, where is it located? (I need the Datastore Admin to see whether backups completed succesfully and what string of characters was assigned to them.)

Quick workaround I found. If you look at the greyed-out link you'll see the URL has an '&deprecated' parameter. If you remove that you can still get to all of the greyed out links, at least for now.

I hope Google isn't just going to dump this functionality. We rely on Datastore Admin to manage our backups. We also use the bulk entity delete quite often. As far as I can see neither of these are possible in the new Developers Console.

In general, to be honest I also just find the old Developers Console much more pleasant to use.

Thanks very much for your solution! I am quite exasperated as to how Google doesn't seem to care about usability.

Actually, I just discovered it is available in the new Developers Console, thought it's in a very non-obvious place. It's in

Cloud Datastore > Settings > Open Datastore Admin

Similarly, I thought Cron Jobs were gone, but they're just weirdly hidden in a tab in the Task Queues view.

Thanks for this! Why doesn't the greyed out link in the datastore
console point here??
