A refreshed dashboard, activity trail and notifications in the console

The sidebar arrived last week; the pages inside it are being refreshed one surface at a time. This is the first of them — the dashboard you land on, the activity trail, and everywhere notifications appear. Nothing new to do here, and nothing new on show: the same numbers, the same entries, the same people who could see them before.

Nothing is no longer a blank space. A quiet morning, a newly assigned partner, a page past the end of the trail — each now says what it means and what would fill it, instead of a lone grey sentence. Being told “nothing has happened yet” is different from wondering whether the page loaded, and the two no longer look alike.

Pages arrive in shape. Opening the dashboard, the activity trail, notifications or email delivery now shows the outline of what is coming — the cards, the rows — which fills in as it loads. Nothing jumps into place after a pause.

It looks like Sustentus. Tenant counts, feed entries and notification rows follow the same type and colour as the rest of the product, in both light and dark. Unread notifications are now marked as unread for screen readers too, not by weight alone.

Email delivery says so when it is fine. For the Sustentus team, the dashboard used to mention notification email only when something had failed, so silence was ambiguous. It now confirms when nothing has failed in the last 24 hours — and says plainly that this is the absence of failures rather than proof of delivery, since successful sends are not recorded.

The tenant pages and the sign-in screens are next.
