- You can customize your own dashboard using movable "Widgets" meant to help you find the things you use the most.
- While most of the dashboard will reflect your personal needs and wants, there are some items on your dashboard that will always be present.
- Site Dropdown
Here you will find all the "sites" you are able to edit. - My Content
This area offers quick lists of all your recently edited content, owned content, drafts, locked files and assigned tasks GO HERE IF YOU CAN'T FIND SOMETHING YOU WERE WORKING ON! - Search box

This is the one fixed widget. From here you add other widgets to customize your dashboard.
Extra Information
Dashboard in mobile and tablet view
Even these "fixed" items can shift depending on how you are viewing the site. In tablet view, the top menu items will condense and the "My Content" link will fall under the menu icon. In mobile view, the menu icon will shift to the left hand corner of your screen.
While some of the items under my menu icons may differ from yours, the behavior of the fixed items should mirror what you see.
How to configure a widget
Some widgets are specific to a web site. These you will need to configure after you add them. Once the widget has loaded, you will see a dropdown list. Simply choose the site you want to track with the widget and click the save settings button (see animation below).
If you want to change the configuration in the future, click the pencil icon and choose a new web site.
