# Introducing the new Session Admin

## Manage everything BigMarker sessions have to offer with then new streamlined interface.

The Session Admin is a centralized workspace for configuring your virtual sessions, managing session content, and reviewing audience data and reporting. This new admin interface focuses on giving a streamlined experience for you and your team and organizes the settings and content to truly optimize your workflow.

### The Session Dashboard

When you first open the session Admin you will see the main dashboard. This will give you some basic information on your session along with some easy navigation to important features and quick actions like copying the share link or modifying the tags.

You will also find a list of **Admin activity** in the dashboard. This will give you a setting-by-setting timeline of which admin adjusted what settings and when.

### Using the Session Admin

Within the **Session Admin**, you will edit and save each individual setting you want to configure. Simply click anywhere within a setting to edit, then save or cancel your update.

Within many pages, you will see an option in the top right to open the builder or designer. This button will be dynamic to the settings you are looking at. In the example below, clicking the Open Designer button within the **Live Experience** section will open up the designer for the webcast attendee.
