== New dashboard page ==
<p>By combining two new blocks ('In-progress courses' and 'New available courses'), the new dashboard page will guide users through their learning journey, showing which courses are in progress and which courses need to be started next. The dashboard is still fully customisable, so all blocks are still available if needed.</p>
