Navigating the Dashboard

The navigation menu in the WordPress Dashboard appears on the left side

of your browser window. When you need to get back to the WordPress
Dashboard, click the Dashboard link that appears at the top of the naviga-
tion menu of any of the pages within your WordPress Dashboard.

In the following sections, we cover the Dashboard page as it appears when you log in to your WordPress Dashboard for the very first time; later we show you how to configure the appearance of your Dashboard so that it best suits how you use the available modules. Also, check out the nearby “Discovering the admin bar” sidebar that covers the menu located at the top of every page in your Dashboard and site.
