About Dashboard Page Extensions
Dashboard pages are administrative pages you can add to the dashboard of a Wix site or project. They do not appear on the live site, so site visitors never see them. However, dashboard pages are visible to site admins with the required permissions.
For example, if a site has Wix Blog installed, your app can extend the site’s functionality by adding a dashboard page that shows which blog posts were viewed and liked the most.
When to use the dashboard page extension
Use this extension when you want to add administrative functionality to your site or project dashboard. This might include:
- Rendering site or business data for monitoring and analysis.
- Configuring functionality of the editor or live site.
- Integrating data or services hosted outside of Wix.
For example, you might want to add a dashboard page for configuring content to display, the speed of an animation, or the behavior of a chatbot.
Implementation options
You can add a dashboard page extension using:
Note: For a more streamlined approach to developing your dashboard page, try out the Wix CLI or Blocks instead of self-hosting.
When it comes to designing the UI, consider using the Wix Design System, a collection of reusable React components that you can use to make your app appear and feel like a native Wix app.
