+==== REST endpoints containing `_xpack`
+
+In 7.0, we deprecated REST endpoints that contain `_xpack` in their path. These
+endpoints are now removed in 8.0. Each endpoint that was deprecated and removed
+is replaced with a new endpoint that does not contain `_xpack`. As an example,
+`/{index}/_xpack/graph/_explore` is replaced by `/{index}/_graph/explore`.
