As reported in Google Webmaster central, Google announced upgraded dashboard. Google’s small changes in features are intended to make organized and responsive dashboard for webmasters. And they succeeded in its new dashboard.
Indeed, keeping “new messages and recent critical issues” section on the top of the dashboard is understandable. This reminds prioritization to fix the issues.
Next comes three current statistics; the crawl errors of DNS, Server and robots; performance of search queries; numbers of indexed web pages.
Nothing has changed in Configuration. Settings, Site links, URL parameters, change of address and users feature are as same as it was. Even other navigation features: health, traffic, optimization and labs are not having any significant changes. Minute in changing the name like HTML Improvements in optimization is one the few exceptions.
