Introducing Required Actions Dashboard for Developers

Beginning this month, we’re rolling out Required actions dashboard to a limited number of app administrators who manage apps on developers.facebook.com.

As part of ongoing investments to simplify how developers manage their apps on our developer platform, the new Required actions dashboard - accessible directly in the developer console header - empowers app administrators, particularly those who manage many apps, by aggregating all upcoming required actions for their portfolio into one consolidated view.

What’s changing?

Today, app administrators rely on the App Dashboard to view and respond to these required actions for individual apps. However, the App Dashboard provides administrators with visibility into one app at a time.

In contrast, Required actions dashboard aggregates all incomplete required actions (including past due actions) into a single point-in-time view, providing app administrators with enhanced visibility into obligations across the portfolio they manage - and ultimately helping prevent missed tasks and timelines.

Required actions dashboard will begin rolling out to a limited number of app administrators in November.

Why are we launching Required actions dashboard?

Developers navigate a number of requirements to maintain compliant apps on our platform. It can be difficult and costly for developers to keep track of and complete all of these time-sensitive obligations - especially for app administrators who manage many apps.

Required actions dashboard is one example of ongoing investments we’re making to simplify app management and improve the developer experience, beginning with transparency.

Who can use Required actions dashboard?

Once available, a dialog will prompt app administrators to explore the Required actions dashboard upon login. App administrators can then navigate to and interact with Required actions dashboard as an item within the main developer console header.

What’s next?

We anticipate a broad release in 2024. Sign up for our developer newsletter for updates on Required actions dashboard and more.
