The Home tab grid
Each row on the grid represents one linked environment. The columns:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Environment name | The name you gave the environment when you linked it (Production, Staging, UAT, Integration1, etc.). |
| View Store | Opens the frontend storefront URL for that environment in a new tab. Use it to spot-check what the customer would see. |
| Control Panel | Opens the BigCommerce admin Control Panel for that environment. Useful when you need to verify a setting after a migration. |
| Add User (Git Branch only) | Appears only when GitHub is the connected repository. Lets you add a Git user and provision their per-environment branch. |
| Date Created | Date and time of the most recent migration task affecting this environment, not the date the environment itself was created. |
| Data Migration and Theme Status | Migration start and end timestamps, plus a progress bar for any in-flight job. Theme column shows the active theme version if applicable. |

Home tab summary
Three operational uses:- At-a-glance health check, are all environments green and current? If a row has stale dates or a half-finished progress bar, it needs attention.
- Fast environment access, View Store and Control Panel save the keystrokes of finding the right BigCommerce URL when you flip between Production and the sandboxes.
- Theme version check, the Theme column tells you which theme version is active in each environment. If your developers have just shipped a new theme, this is where you verify it landed.
