We are happy to announce the availability of a new build of the WooCommerce Admin feature plugin! If this is the first time you have heard about WooCommerce Admin, it is a new JavaScript-driven interface for managing your WooCommerce stores that is focusing on creating new and improved reports, and a dashboard to monitor all the important key metrics of your site.
You can download version v0.15.0 in the plugin repository or via GitHub right here. If you do test out the plugin, and have some feedback – please do open an issue in the GitHub repository, or reach out to us in the #core channel on WooCommerce slack.
Extended Customer Data
First enhancement to highlight in this release is a contribution from the community – props and thanks to @KZeni for the pull request! You can now view the region/state for each customer on the Customers Report page.
Navigation Bar Updates
The navigation bar got an visual update in this release. From user feedback we learned that the navigation bar was causing some issues on the Product Edit page when editing long descriptions. Other users just commented that it was too tall and impacting the experience on smaller viewports. So the size of the navigation bar has been decreased to allow for more space for all Woo views.
The Stock Activity Panel also got a bit of an update. As you use the panel to update products that are low in inventory or out of stock – the updated products are now removed from your to-do list in the panel!
