AI BriefingGitHub's new dashboard experience becomes the default view for all users
Key point
Users can now view active agent sessions, issues, and pull requests in one place with up to 12 items per list.
Details
GitHub has made its redesigned dashboard experience the default view for everyone, moving it out of feature preview. The update aims to help users focus on immediate work by consolidating active agent sessions, issues, and pull requests into a single interface.
Key Features
- Consolidated View: Users can see active agent sessions, issues, and pull requests in one place, with filters to customize each section and a limit of 12 items per list.
- Separate Feed: Updates are now located in a distinct Feed tab, separating social or activity updates from the productivity-focused dashboard.
- Direct Actions: Users can start work directly from the dashboard, such as assigning an issue to the Copilot coding agent or opening a pull request in Copilot Chat.
User Options
Users who prefer the previous interface can switch back at any time by clicking the dropdown next to the "Preview" label. GitHub encourages feedback through the Community discussion.
