# New dashboard experience now the default

**[GitHub Changelog](https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

GitHub's redesigned dashboard, previously a feature preview, is now the default view for all users. It consolidates active agent sessions, issues, and pull requests into one filterable view, separates updates into a distinct Feed tab, and lets users start work directly, such as assigning issues to the Copilot coding agent or opening pull requests in Copilot Chat. Users can still revert to the previous experience via a dropdown next to 'Preview'.

## Questions this post answers

### Is the new GitHub dashboard now the default for all users?

Yes, the redesigned GitHub dashboard, which was previously available only as a feature preview, is now the default view for everyone. It consolidates active agent sessions, issues, and pull requests into one filterable view with up to 12 items per section, and separates ongoing updates into a distinct Feed tab. Users can still switch back to the old experience via a dropdown next to 'Preview.'

_Developers adjusting to GitHub's new dashboard layout can keep up with platform changes like this on daily.dev._

### How do I switch back to the old GitHub dashboard after the new one became default?

Click the dropdown next to 'Preview' on the dashboard to revert to the previous experience. GitHub made the redesigned dashboard the default view for all users, but kept an option to toggle back for those who prefer the old layout while they adjust to the new one.

_daily.dev helps developers track platform UI changes like GitHub's dashboard rollout as they ship._
