By default, the menu system in PrestaShop 1.6 is displayed on the left side of the page. You can switch the menu to the top of the page by using the "Display admin menu" option in your user preference page (which you can access through the "Me" link bearing your name in the top bar).
In either vertical or horizontal format, the content of each menu is displayed when the mouse hovers the menu label, thus reducing the necessity to load new screens just to access menu options. In addition to that, the vertical format can be minimized to only its icons by clicking on the "parallel lines" icon at the bottom of it. |

Contextual help
Since version 1.6.0.7 of PrestaShop, the software's documentation is directly embedded into administration interface: clicking on the "Help" button from any back-office page reduces the main interface's width in order to add a new column on the right, which contains the documentation for that section of the back-office.
Another click on the "Help" button closes the contextual help. If you do not close the help column, PrestaShop understands that you want it displayed on every page of the back-office, and thus will maintain the column open until you have clicked to close it.

If the browser's display zone is lower than 1220 pixels width, then PrestaShop will open the contextual documentation in a new browser window rather than reducing the screen space dedicated to the main interface. |
At the bottom of the help column, a small form enables you to tell the PrestaShop team whether the help section has been helpful to you or not. Rate the help page by clicking on one of the 5 levels of satisfaction. If you click on one of the two lowest levels, PrestaShop will open a short form allowing to detail your thoughts? You can either fill it and click on the "Submit" button, or close the form by clicking on the cross, in which case only your rating will be sent to our server.
The Dashboard
Let's now explore the content of the Dashboard itself. It can feel crowded to a first-time user, but you will find that it gives an excellent summary of your shop's daily activities at a glance.
