Homeroom Dashboards - Connecting the Dots

Are you wondering what is different in Homeroom Connect Dashboards? While the data is the same, the URL you use to log in will be different, and some things are accessed in a different way or at a slightly different location. This document aims to help users find all the features and items in Homeroom Connect Dashboards that they were familiar with in V2. Remember, you can go back to your current version at any time.

Also, remember that if your district has created Custom Dashboards, not all of these containers may be present on the Custom versions.
