Using this menu you can have the home screen display in either a single or two column layout depending on your personal preference.
Inbox ↑ Back to top
The Inbox area is dedicated to informational content coming from multiple sources such as the WooCommerce core plugin, WooCommerce.com Subscription management, extensions activity, and store achievements. It also displays insightful content that could help with the day to day tasks of managing and optimizing a store.

The Orders Panel displays Orders that are considered “actionable.” Orders needing fulfillment are shown by default. You can click the Order Number to go to the Order Details screen for that particular order.
Manage “actionable” order statuses settings at Analytics > Settings.

In this area you can have a quick overview of the most important performance indicators of your store. Each performance indicator will display a label informing you of the statistic that is being presented, the value of that statistic for the date range selected and a percentage change over the prior period.
