<p><strong>Cluttered screen?</strong></p>
<p>Make your workspace more fluid with our customizable panels that can quickly and smoothly come and go at the touch of a button. Each of the panels can be tailored to your needs - simply drag them to your preferred size and you’ve got a workspace that works best for your needs.</p>
<p><strong>Edit Your Catalog with Ease</strong></p>
<p>We?ve made editing your catalog easier as well. You can re-sort your categories simply by dragging and dropping them into the order you want. You can even create sub-categories by dragging one category into another. It?s that simple.</p>
<p><strong>Keeping Track of Your Product Data</strong></p>
<p>Don’t like the default data grid columns and the way that your products are organized? No problem. Just click on a column title to choose which ones you’d like to see and remove. and drag them into the order that makes life easiest for you, whether you put product ID or price first. Use the same click method to sort your products by the data column you want, and move through the catalog at a lightning fast pace.<br />
This is just the beginning. Keep your eyes open for more Magento first-looks and features in the coming weeks.</p>
