The Dashboard
With your dashboard, you have a familiar look and feel and an at-a-glance overview of some of your most important items, including:
- Tasks: Stay on top of your workflows and approvals.
- Recent Courses: Your dashboard automatically surfaces recently edited courses so you can jump back into work quickly.
- Pinned Items: Pin frequently used courses and folders directly to your dashboard, so they’re always a click away.
