How do I go back to the old dashboard?

How do I go back to the old dashboard? This one is a real step down. Also how do I get rid of the blog as the centerpiece of the dashboard? Thanks.

Hi @El_Capitan-

Thanks for posting in the Seller Community.

The updates to the Square Online Dashboard are there to provide an improved experience that will allow you to have access to updated features that the previous version does not have the ability to load. Currently, there isn’t a way to revert back to the previous version of the Square Online Dashboard.

We’re constantly working to improve our features based feedback like this, so I’ll be sure to pass your request off to our Product team. Please feel free to provide more insight and feedback in this thread.

That's the point. I know many vendors who use square and they all agree that the new dashboard is a real step down. Why not allow those who don't like to use the old like most companies do? Can I go back?

If not how can I get rid of the blog that now takes up space where actual valuable information used to be? The last thing I want in the middle of the page is a blog with posts like "Hello Beauty Community". I run a gourmet sausage restaurant.

Thanks,

Marc

As of right now, there isn't a way to remove the Seller Community suggestion from the Dashboard, or to revert the Dashboard to a previous version.

I reached out to a Dashboard Product Manager to see if there will be an option to 'x' out of the Community suggestion in the Dashboard in the future, as it doesn't seem to be relevant to you as a seller. I'll let you know what I hear back @El_Capitan.

Thanks, that mystifies me, that your designers would think that a person who is interested in the finances of a business would want a completely irrelevent blog to take up the center and the majority of a user dashboard. I have been involved in designing apps myselt, and this is the chronic problem of designer making some kind of 'Improvement" to something that needs none, and then ruin it entirely. Please get that off of there. I hate it.

If I could simply move it to the bottom of the page so I couldn't see it, that would be ok. Maybe make the modules moveable like many dashboards.
