The WordPress Overview on hPanel is a convenient tool to manage all the important information about your website. You can find it by opening Websites → Dashboard, searching for WordPress Overview on the sidebar, and clicking on it.

Once there, you will be presented with these sections:
-
Dashboard – the main section of WordPress Dashboard; here you can see all the information about your website.

Security – here, you can manage your themes and plugins, including checking their current versions, updating, and disabling them without access to the WordPress Admin Dashboard.
