Want to switch back temporarily to the old layout? See Switch back to Legacy Central. The old layout will only be available for a limited time while you get used to the new one.
Space-saving layout
The main menu is now at the top of your screen.
Our new layout saves space so you can focus on day-to-day tasks. We only show more detailed menus when you need them.
There's no left menu, so you now get the full-screen experience of the pages.
