# Dashboard widgets - Adminline 1.x documentation

> Choose which dashboard widgets each role sees, add your own notes and quick links, and replace the welcome panel.

> [!NOTE]
> This is part of **Adminline Pro**.

The Dashboard is the first thing people see after logging in. On **Settings → Admin Menu → Dashboard** you decide what's on it, role by role.

## Hiding widgets

The table lists the Dashboard's widgets, WordPress's and your plugins' (WooCommerce's status widget, for example), with a column for each role. Tick a box to hide that widget from that role; tick **Everyone** to hide it from everyone.

Someone with several roles still sees a widget while any of their roles may.

The list is what the Dashboard showed an administrator the last time one opened it. After installing a plugin that adds a widget, open the Dashboard once, then come back to this tab to see it listed.

## Your own widgets

Under **Your widgets**, click **Add a widget**, then:

1. Give it a **Title**.
2. Choose what it **Shows**:
   - **Text and HTML**: a note, instructions or contact details. Paragraphs, links, lists, headings and images are allowed.
   - **Quick links**: one link per line, written as `text | address`. The address is a screen inside wp-admin (such as `post-new.php?post_type=product`) or a full address starting with `https://` (opened in a new tab).
3. Tick the roles it's **Shown to**. With none ticked, everyone sees it.

**Remove widget** takes it away. Save the tab when you're done. People can move and collapse your widgets on their Dashboard like any other.

## The welcome panel

- **WordPress's welcome panel** (the default).
- **No welcome panel**.
- **My own welcome panel, for everyone**: a **Title** and **Content** (text and HTML) shown across the top of the Dashboard, in the admin's highlight colour, for everyone, including roles that never get WordPress's panel.
