Admin Panel Homepage / Welcome Page Customization
planned
Yannis Kadiri
We want to enhance the CMS homepage with additional widgets to provide more useful insights at a glance. Currently, the homepage includes two widgets: one displaying the last edited entries and another showing the last published entries.
We will introduce an API for the homepage that will allow users to create their own widgets and fully customize their CMS homepage. Every user has different needs, and with this API, you’ll have the flexibility to design a homepage that works best for you. Whether you need more visibility on project statistics, editorial workflows, or external integrations, you will be able to tailor your CMS homepage accordingly.
We will also introduce new default widgets to improve visibility and efficiency for Community and Paid Edition users.
For the Community Edition:
- User Profile Widget: A dedicated space for user details.
- Project Statistics Widget: Overview of key project metrics (Number of entries, assets, content types, components, admins, API tokens, webhooks, locales)
- Entries Overview Widget: Quick summary of content status (Number of draft entries, modified entries, and published entries)
For the Paid Edition:
- Assigned Entries Widget: Displays entries assigned to the user when the Review Workflows feature is enabled.
- Upcoming Releases Widget: Highlights upcoming releases for better planning.
- Audit Logs Widget: Provides quick access to recent audit logs.

Customize the Admin panel welcome page (Strapi 5)
M

In v3 you could override the admin dashboard as follows: https://forum.strapi.io/t/customize-the-dashboard-welcome-page/939/2
This no longer works in v4, or in other words no one in the community knows how to do this.
The patch-package method is not a sustainable solution and not clean, I see that some people in the community would also like to know how to solve this in v4.

Allow easy replacement of "Welcome to your Strapi app" page

Potential security issue.. because of this, it looks like every strapi installtion in the world can be found by simply googling...
But not just for that. The idea is to easily allow returning something else when hitting the root path. eg, if you put index.html in /public and hit http://localhost:1337/index.html, it will be returned. But not if you hit just http://localhost:1337
googling around this looks hard to do atm

HTML Customization for Admin panel Pages
Gilson Gilbert
It was great when we have more customization option in Strapi v3 for admin panel. The community is eagerly waiting for more customization options for admin panel HTML. Hope to have this in v4 or v5

In strapi v5 you can use a plugin to modify the index page in the router something like this
import type { StrapiApp } from '@strapi/strapi/admin';
export default {
register(app: StrapiApp) {
const indexRoute = app.router.routes.find(({ index }) => index);
if (!indexRoute) throw new Error('unable to find index page');
indexRoute.lazy = async () => {
const { App } = await import('./pages/App');
return { Component: App };
};
},
};

Hugo Lima Give me an example
Hugo Lima
rockyxia In the register function located in src/admin/app.tsx, you can find the indexRoute (which represents the default Strapi dashboard homepage) and set its lazy function to load your CustomDashboard component

Would love an update on this
Rowan-Paul
Any update on this? It's marked as V5 but I haven't seen anything about it during launch week so I'm assuming it'll be in a 5.x release?

It is a very classical feature to have a dashboard of your data in the home page of your backoffice.. and not only strapi don't have it but worse it dont give the developer the possibility to do it.. sad
