# New dashboard experience now the default

> GitHub makes its redesigned dashboard the default view, focusing the home screen on work that needs attention across repositories and teams.

# New dashboard experience now the default

The new dashboard experience, previously available as a feature preview, is now the default view for everyone.

The redesigned dashboard helps you focus on the work that matters most and makes it easier to find and act on what you need next. You can:

  * View your active agent sessions, issues, and pull requests in one place. Use filters to choose what appears in each section, with up to 12 items in each list.
  * Catch up on updates in the separate **Feed** tab, keeping your feed distinct from your productivity-focused dashboard.
  * Start work directly from the dashboard, such as assigning an issue to Copilot coding agent or opening a pull request in Copilot Chat.

If you'd rather keep the previous experience, you can switch back at any time by clicking the dropdown next to "Preview."

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the new dashboard experience. Drop a comment with any questions or feedback in the [Community discussion](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/208952).
