Blesta 6 Preview: Part 1
In December we gave you a first look at the new Blesta 6 admin UI. That video was a design preview. This one is the real thing. Blesta 6 isn’t just a facelift. The entire admin panel has been re-imagined with a new framework, new layout, and new workflows. This is our biggest update since version 3, by far — tens of thousands of lines of code.
Dashboard
The dashboard will feel familiar, but the design is a big step forward. Everything is cleaner, faster, and easier to read. And yes – full dark mode across every page, every widget, every plugin. Toggle between light and dark with a single click.
Navigation & Icon Bar
Navigation has moved to the left, giving you more vertical space to work with. Two new bars round out the experience: a top bar for search, notifications, and quick actions, and a customizable icon bar on the left. The icon bar supports drag-and-drop reordering, any Bootstrap icon, and custom links to wherever you need. Set it up the way you work and you may rarely need the main nav at all.
Client Profile
Use Ctrl+K to search and jump to any client instantly. The client profile has been overhauled — panels open smoothly and remember their state between visits. A new bulk actions bar makes managing services faster, and Quick Jump lets you skip straight to the section you need. Pinned notes are displayed right on the profile, perfect for things your team needs to see at a glance.
Configurable Options
Configurable options have been completely redesigned. Drag and drop to reorder. Filter options by keyword, then copy and paste them between groups. What used to take minutes of re-entry now takes seconds.
Settings & Search
Settings are now accessed from the bottom of the icon bar. Step-up authentication, introduced in 5.13, has been refined — sessions can be extended so you’re not constantly re-authenticating, and a visual timer appears as a badge when there’s less than 5 minutes remaining. Need to find something specific? Search the settings nav and it filters in real time as you type. The navigation editor supports drag-and-drop reordering and custom icons so you can tailor the admin experience for your team.
Real-Time Notifications
A brand new notification system surfaces orders, support tickets, and other events as real-time notifications. Stay on top of what matters without refreshing the page.
We’ve only scratched the surface here. There’s a lot more to show off, and our next video will cover some of the new features coming to version 6 as we get closer to release.
