Your members have a dashboard too, and it has nothing in common with yours. Yours reports on the business. Theirs is a start screen: what to continue, what is new, where to go next.
You build it once, for everyone, and publish it when it is ready.
Open the member dashboard editor
Rows and elements
The page is built from rows stacked down the screen. Each row is divided into columns, and each column holds an element.
Add a row, choose how many columns it has, then drop elements into it. It is the same builder as hubs, so anything you have learned there applies here.
Elements cover the things a member arrives wanting: their courses and progress, the community feed, upcoming events, their profile, text and images you write yourself, buttons to anywhere.
Wide elements need the room. Drop one into a narrow column and the editor tells you rather than squeezing it, so widen the row or move the element.
Editor and preview
The switch in the header moves between Editor and Preview. The editor shows handles and controls; the preview shows the page as a member sees it.
Next to it sit desktop, tablet and mobile. Check mobile before you publish. A row of four columns is comfortable on a laptop and cramped on a phone, and the preview is where you find that out.
Publishing
Your edits are not live while you make them. The cloud icon in the header tells you which state you are in: a check means what members see matches what you built, a warning means you have unpublished changes.
Click Update Dashboard to publish. You are asked which version to publish and can name it, and the version you pick becomes what members see.
Members see the published version, never your work in progress. You can rebuild the whole page during business hours and nobody notices until you publish.
Versions
Every publish keeps the version before it. The list holds your current changes at the top, then earlier versions, with the live one marked as active.
That makes publishing safe to undo. If a new layout does not land the way you hoped, publish the previous version and you are back where you were.
An empty dashboard
Until you build something, members with no dashboard see a short empty state rather than a broken page. Admins see a button that leads straight to this editor.
There is no penalty for leaving it empty if your members go straight to a course. Build it when you have something worth putting on it.
Where this sits
Two dashboards, two jobs.
- Your dashboard reports on the business, arranges itself per admin, and needs no publishing.
- The member dashboard is a page you design for everyone, and it goes live when you publish it.
