Auto-open on the dashboard
The What’s new panel can open on its own when you land on your project dashboard after a new release. This happens at most once per release and no more than once per week, so you won’t see it on every visit. A callout at the bottom of the panel explains why it opened automatically. You can dismiss the callout with the X button or turn off auto-opening entirely using the toggle described below.Controlling auto-open
A toggle at the bottom of the panel — Open automatically when there’s something new — lets you turn auto-opening on or off without leaving the panel. The setting saves immediately. You can also control this setting from your account settings:- Click your user disc and select User settings.
- Scroll to the Notification preferences section.
- Check or uncheck Open the What’s new panel automatically when there’s something new.
- Click Update preferences to save.
