Wix Dashboard

The Wix site dashboard is the control center for a Wix project. From it, you configure settings, manage content, run business operations, and monitor performance. Every Wix site and headless project has the same dashboard, regardless of how it was built or which development path you work in. Which sections appear depends on the project type and what's installed.

The dashboard is private to the Wix user and collaborators. It's not part of what visitors see. Most of what's in the dashboard comes out of the box, and it expands as each business solution or installed app contributes its own sections. You can also extend the dashboard with code, adding custom pages, modals, plugins, and menu entries.

Main dashboard areas

The dashboard is organized into a few broad areas:

• Settings: Site or project domain, language, business info, payments setup, and more.
• Content management: Media Manager and CMS data.
• Contacts and members: Manage contacts who interacted with the site and members who created accounts on it.
• Business operations: Orders, payments, marketing, automations, and more. Each installed business solution adds its own pages, such as Products for Wix Stores or Posts for Wix Blog.
• App management: Browse and install apps from the Wix App Market, and manage what's installed.
• Developer tools: Secrets Manager, events, API keys, monitoring, logging tools, Triggered Emails, and other developer-facing tools.
• Analytics and reporting: Traffic, sales, SEO performance, and other site metrics.

The dashboard across development paths

The development path determines how you interact with the dashboard and how you extend it:

• Sites: Build custom dashboard pages in the Wix Editor or Wix Studio. Add other dashboard extension types, like modals and plugins, by creating a private app.
• Wix-managed headless projects: Use the dashboard to configure the project and its business solutions. Register dashboard extensions through the CLI.
• Self-managed headless projects: Use the dashboard to configure the project and its business solutions. You can't add dashboard extensions directly. Instead, create a private app that registers the extension and install that app in your headless project.
• Wix-managed apps: Install on sites and extend the dashboard there with dashboard extensions, including custom pages, modals, plugins, and menu entries. You can install the same app on many sites. Each installation adds its extensions to that site's dashboard.
• Self-managed apps: Install on sites and extend the dashboard there with dashboard extensions, including custom pages, modals, plugins, and menu entries. You can install the same app on many sites. Each installation adds its extensions to that site's dashboard.
• Blocks apps: Install on sites and extend the dashboard there with dashboard extensions, including custom pages, modals, plugins, and menu entries. You can install the same app on many sites. Each installation adds its extensions to that site's dashboard.
