Activity Panels

The Activity Panel aims to be a "one stop shop" for managing your store - fulfill new orders, manage product inventory, moderate reviews, and get information about running your store.

Activity Panels can be accessed wherever the WooCommerce Admin navigation bar is shown.

Activity Panels Tabs Overview

There are five panels: Inbox, Orders, Stock, Reviews, and WordPress Notices. You can read more about each panel below.

Each panel has an orange indicator denoting "unread" items.

The Stock Panel will show Products that are either Low in Stock or Out of stock.
