 Description  « Hide
The new default dashboard REMOVES The "+" and "-" icons, which were useful to "show more recent changes" etc...while introducing "personalization icons" that eat up lots of space with limited utility.

From our groups perspective, you have eliminated a valuable function. Can you tell me how the development team suggests that users monitor recent changes? We became accustomed to those using those buttons to catch up on changes, which sometimes required scanning dozens of recent changes made across multiple spaces. If you eliminated this use case from the dashboard, what is the "workaround" we should use to review recent changes?

I would also like to have the old behaviour and look back. Could you maybe make the changes configurable?

Here's a work around to this situation:
  1. Switch the theme back to "classic" in the administration console.
  2. Go to the dashboard and increase/decrease the number of displayed till your heart's content
  3. Revert the theme back to the default theme and you will now see more items on the dashboard.

Note: this will, as you said make the dashboard a lot longer since we know show the avatars, and each listed item is much bigger.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I've restored the plus/minus buttons for 2.6.2.

We were intending to have replacement functionality in the 2.6 final build, but it didn't make it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
