New dashboard experience now the default

GitHub made its redesigned dashboard the default view for all users, moving the experience out of feature preview. The new dashboard consolidates active agent sessions, issues, and pull requests in one place with filters allowing up to 12 items per list, separates updates into a Feed tab, and lets users assign an issue to Copilot coding agent or open a pull request in Copilot Chat directly from the dashboard. Users who prefer the previous experience can switch back via the dropdown next to "Preview.

Improvement

The new dashboard experience, previously available as a feature preview, is now the default view for everyone.

The redesigned dashboard helps you focus on the work that matters most and makes it easier to find and act on what you need next. You can:

  • View your active agent sessions, issues, and pull requests in one place. Use filters to choose what appears in each section, with up to 12 items in each list.
  • Catch up on updates in the separate Feed tab, keeping your feed distinct from your productivity-focused dashboard.
  • Start work directly from the dashboard, such as assigning an issue to Copilot coding agent or opening a pull request in Copilot Chat.

If you’d rather keep the previous experience, you can switch back at any time by clicking the dropdown next to “Preview.” We’d love to hear your thoughts on the new dashboard experience. Drop a comment with any questions or feedback in the Community discussion.
