To help improve productivity and efficiency, we’ve redesigned the side panel in the Duda editor. The new layout offers a cleaner, more streamlined experience that lets you focus on what matters most. Now, only the tools you use most often will appear in your side panel, keeping it organized and clutter-free.
The order in which Pages, Layers, Theme, and Content are displayed in the side panel changed, and we renamed Content to CMS. However, the contents of each item and their functionality has not. For example, Popups are still accessed from Pages and Collections are still accessed from CMS.
For easier access, we’ve moved SEO/AEO to a more prominent location and separated it from Settings, making room for exciting new SEO/AEO features we have planned. Don’t worry, all of your other settings are still easily accessible from the left side panel. You can find more details on that in the Settings section of this article.
When you click SEO/AEO, you’ll go to the Site Dashboard, landing on the Site Audit tab. From here, you can manage all aspects of your site’s SEO/AEO in one place.
To keep your side panel clean and uncluttered, add-on items appear in the side panel only after you install them. For example, if you don’t use a store, it won’t be added to the side panel, which leaves more space for tools you do use, like the blog.
Note
App Store apps and Personalization are not added to the sidebar.
To access installed apps, click More > App Store > click to open the desired app.
Following is an example of what your side panel would look like if you installed a store. You’ll notice that store moved from the More menu to the side panel.
To consolidate site management tools, Settings and Site Dashboard are now located in the More menu.
Click Settings to access your site’s settings.
Clicking Site Dashboard opens the Site Overview tab, where you can manage your site. This makes accessing the site dashboard faster and easier, without having to search for the site in your site list.
