# Announcing new Layout Composer in Medusa Admin

_Published 2026-07-01 by Nicolas Gorga in Product_

We're excited to introduce a new Layout Composer in Medusa Admin that lets you reorder, hide, and save the arrangement of nearly every part of the dashboard. 

This started as a community contribution from Leonardo Benini ([@leobenzol](https://github.com/leobenzol)), and it is a strong example of the kind of high-value feature open-source contributors can drive in Medusa.

The Layout Composer is available in version 2.17.2 of Medusa.

## What you can rearrange

The Layout Composer allows you to drag and drop entries on all pages to reorder them, and hide the ones you do not need. This includes:

- Sections and cards on detail and list pages (orders, products, custom pages and more)
- Items in the main sidebar and the settings sidebar
- Elements in the top bar

Hiding works on core entries too, not just widgets. If you want to replace one of Medusa's built-in sections, hide the core entry, build a widget exactly how you want it, and drop it into the same position.

## Personal and global layouts

Layout configurations can be saved as a personal preference for your own user, or as a default shared across all users in the project. Global defaults give teams a consistent admin, while individual users can still tailor their own view on top.

Try out the new Layout Composer in version 2.17.2 of Medusa.
