Description

## Summary

The row-level control that opens the document details flyout in Discover's document table (and any app using the unified data table) no longer reads "Toggle dialog with details". It now reads "View details" when the row is collapsed and "Close details" when the row is expanded. The same relabel applies to the host details action in the Observability Hosts table. Two published pages still tell readers to select the "Toggle dialog with details" icon.

**Why this needs docs:** Two published pages quote the old label verbatim as a bolded UI string, so they become factually wrong for 9.6.0 and serverless users.

## Suggested edits

[Managing lifecycle polices for integrations data](https://www.elastic.co/docs/manage-data/lifecycle/index-lifecycle-management/manage-lifecycle-integrations-data) > Numbered procedure (step that opens Discover document details)
- **What the docs say:** In **Discover**, the list of documents shows the columns for fields applicable to the visualization that you selected. Select any document that has data for those fields and click the **Toggle dialog with details** icon.
- **What to add:** The Discover control is now labeled **View details** (and **Close details** once the row is expanded). Rewrite the step so the label matches the product and keep the old label for earlier versions, for example: select the **View details** or **Toggle dialog with details** icon (depending on your {{stack}} version). The screenshot ilm-toggle-document-details.png shows the old tooltip and needs a refresh. Also replace "click" with "select" while editing the sentence. Applies from 9.6.0 and in serverless.

[Analyze and compare hosts](https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/observability/infra-and-hosts/analyze-compare-hosts) > View host details
- **What the docs say:** In the list of hosts, find the host you want to monitor, then click the **Toggle dialog with details** icon ![expand icon] to display the host details overlay.
- **What to add:** The Hosts table action is now labeled **View details** when the overlay is closed and **Close details** when it is open. Update the bolded label and keep the old label for earlier versions, for example: select the **View details** or **Toggle dialog with details** icon (depending on your {{stack}} version). Applies from 9.6.0 and in {{observability}} serverless projects.
