The goal of the New Dashboard is to deliver a rebuilt dashboard experience that is simple, smooth, and smart.
Key features include:
- AI content assistant tools
- Modern user interface
- Mobile Friendly
- Overhauled event creation and management flow for improved efficiency
Note: This is not at full parity with the legacy dashboard. We encourage you to use the “switcher” to toggle back to the legacy dashboard if functionality is missing.
As part of our commitment to improving the Bevy experience, we’re rolling out a brand-new default dashboard for all customers starting as of Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
This update brings a faster, cleaner, and more modern interface that gives you quicker access to the tools you use most, and sets the stage for exciting future features like AI Agents and improved community management.
What's Changing?
-
The new dashboard becomes the default view.
