Beauty Meets Function
Welcome to a completely reimagined control panel. But the beauty isn't just skin deep. The user experience is better than ever; more intuitive, faster, and more fun!
The Mission: Refine and Simplify
When we embarked on the goal of reimagining the EE6 control panel, we looked at each component and asked how we can make it not just better, but better than any other CMS on the market. Then we did.
Today
Sometimes you smack your head wondering what took so long to add such a simple feature... The improved date picker now has a today button.
Better Grid
The grid field is now responsive on mobile. Away with you scrollbars!
Better Navigation
We reduced the number of steps needed to navigate the control panel. Fewer steps. More productivity.
Query Form Snippets
Quickly insert commonly used SQL snippets into the query form
Resize Live Preview
Drag the divider in live preview to change the size of the preview display
And More!
We made hundreds of small improvements that make the control panel a joy to use.
All New File Manager
View your files with the new beautiful thumbnail view, then edit and preview a file's information with one click.
A Refined Experience
The heart of a CMS is to manage content, and the tools should never get in the way of your creative output.
Our goal was to make your experience as satisfying as possible. We improved the relationship field, fluid field design, and ensured the save buttons are sticky, so you never have to scroll up to save.
Member Roles.
Heck Yeah!
Advanced permissions couldn't be more simple. Instead of a single member group, each member can now be assigned to multiple member roles.
Jump Menu. Can You Say Power User?
The jump menu lets you navigate ExpressionEngine at lightning speed with a single shortcut. Go to any page, any setting, find entries in a specific channel, or set your color theme in a matter of keystrokes.
Color Picker Fieldtype
Pick a color with the brand new color picker! Choose any color, or limit the selection to a specific set of swatches.
Member Form Tags
Member templates be gone! Use the all-new member tags to create profile and account settings forms and more!
{exp:member:member_search}

<input type="text" name="search_keywords_1" />
<select name="search_field_1" class="select" >
