This document discusses MongoDB Compass, a graphical user interface (GUI) for MongoDB. It begins by describing the limitations of navigating data using the MongoDB Shell. It then introduces MongoDB Compass and describes its key features, which include visualizing schemas, building queries visually, viewing individual documents, debugging and optimizing performance using explain plans, and inserting, modifying, and deleting documents. The document concludes with an announcement of a live demo of MongoDB Compass and provides more information on downloading, documentation, and current versions.
