We’ve introduced a refresh of the Admin UI to give the admin area a more modern, streamlined, and visually consistent experience. These changes affect only the visual styling and do not alter the functionality or layout of the admin area.
Note: This change does not need any setup. It updates the admin UI for all users regardless of settings.
Why we did this
The refreshed admin area now aligns with the modern design of the platform, providing administrators with a cleaner, more cohesive experience. These updates enhance usability and ensure consistency across the platform, making navigation and task management more intuitive and efficient.
-
Improved Usability:
The updated layout and consistent design elements make it easier to navigate and perform tasks within the admin interface. -

The new search and sort features on the services page help you find what you need faster, reducing time spent on manual searches. -
Better User Experience:
With a more modern, clean, and cohesive design, the admin dashboard feels more familiar and intuitive, aligning with the frontend experience.
What You Can Expect
These updates only affect the visual appearance of the admin interface and do not impact its functionality. Everything you are used to will still be in the same place, but the UI will now be more visually appealing and consistent with the front-end of the application.
-
Optimized Layout:
The admin interface will now provide more usable screen space, making it easier to manage tasks without feeling constrained by narrow design elements. -

Unified Design Elements:
Buttons, lists, and other interactive components have been updated to match the frontend styles. This improves navigation, making it feel more intuitive and user-friendly. -
Cleaner, Simpler Visuals:
We’ve removed shadows and older grey tones, replacing them with clean white backgrounds and minimalistic borders. This change helps reduce visual clutter, making the interface easier to read and interact with.
