Description
Redesign of Wagtail’s dashboard to make it more useful as a starting point for both occasional and repeat CMS users. Mockup:
Intended outcome
- "Create content" entry point for users who want to dive straight into new content without having to understand the site structure.
- For example to support auto-created content, or "pre-selected blocks" - see Auto-generate StreamField & InlinePanel content #13171
- Integration with reporting tools
- Workflow functionality improvements
- Visual design changes to summary items and welcome message
- Options to support custom dashboard panels tailored to the user’s needs ("Frequent actions", "bookmarks", "Owned pages")
