Dashboard Favorites Manager: the Concrete CMS missing feature!!
===============================================================

[](#dashboard-favorites-manager-the-concrete-cms-missing-feature)

Dashboard Favorites Manager helps Concrete CMS users manage the existing dashboard favorites menu, which is not directly editable in the default interface.

The package adds a dedicated dashboard page where users can add, remove, reorder, import, and export their favorite dashboard links without manually editing user data.

It also **adds an optional star button** to the Concrete CMS toolbar. This button opens a quick menu with the current user's dashboard favorites, making frequently used dashboard pages easier to reach.

Favorites can be reordered with **drag and drop** in table, or with simple up and down controls on smaller screens. A real-time search feature makes it easy to find dashboard pages and add them to favorites in one single operation.

The toolbar menu shows the current user's favorites, can search dashboard pages, and can optionally show the Concrete CMS version, "Clear cache now!", and "Log out".

All settings are saved **per user.**
