New Features
Joomla 4's new dashboard has quick access icon modules such as Site, System, Notifications, Last Actions, and more. These modules are customizable so you can control the quick access icons that you want to display on your dashboard and make the organization of your dashboard fit your needs.
The main menu is on the right side, with functions similar to Joomla 3:
-
Content: Article management, Category management, Featured Articles, Fields, Media, Site Modules, Administrator Modules
-
Menus: Administration of Menu Items, Control of menu positions
-
Components: Administration of installed components
-
Users: User manager and user groups, access levels, and others
One of the most notable changes is that by clicking on System, you will have access to everything including Global Configuration, Installation of Extensions and languages, template management, maintenance, information, updates, user permissions, and other functions.
