Dashboard Advanced Mode
Your store dashboard has an Advanced Mode that unlocks additional features and views. It is disabled by default to keep the dashboard simple for new users.
How to Enable Advanced Mode
Go to Store > Settings > Store Settings in your store dashboard. Look for the Advanced Mode toggle under Dashboard Settings and turn it on.
What Changes When Advanced Mode is Enabled?
Advanced Mode adds extra features across several areas of your dashboard:
| Area | What's added |
| Products | Additional columns, filters, and management options in the product list |
| Categories | Extra options and views for managing categories |
| Articles | Additional management features for your article list |
| Article Categories | Extra options for organising article categories |
| Offers | Additional offer management options |
| Brands | Extra brand management features |
| Users | Additional user management options |
| Messages | Extra message viewing features |
| Category Populators | Additional options for auto-populating categories |
Who Should Use Advanced Mode?
Advanced Mode is designed for power users who want more control over their store. You should consider enabling it if:
- You are comfortable with the standard dashboard and want more options
- You need to view or restore deleted items (products, categories, offers)
- You want to see additional data columns in your product and category lists
- You manage a large store with many products and categories
If you are new to FreshStore, we recommend keeping Advanced Mode disabled until you are familiar with the standard dashboard. You can always turn it on later.
Can I Turn It Off Again?
Yes. You can toggle Advanced Mode on and off at any time. Disabling it simply hides the extra features. Nothing is lost or deleted.
