The dashboard is the first screen you see after logging in. It is the primary area where you will be organizing puzzles in series.

Hovering your mouse pointer over an icon will display its name or function.

The dashboard contains several sections:

This is the top section of your dashboard. Its major components are:

Announcements : This is the orange section at the top of the header. You can find announcements and updates about PuzzleMe here, such as new features and exclusive deals.
New Game button : This takes you to the new puzzle page.
New Series button: This launches the create/update series dialog box.

Sorting Controls : These controls are present next to the "Title and Author", "Publish Time" and "Loads" columns. Clicking these buttons sorts the puzzles displayed.

To change the order of sorting (ascending to descending, old to new or vice versa), simply click on the sort controls again.
