Magento 2’s Admin area has less clustered and lot cleaner user interface. We have shared a video by Astral Web Inc. which gives an overview of the Admin Panel of Magento 2 and also provided an insight into the Admin panel in this article.

You will find yourself in the Admin Dashboard when you log into your Magento 2 admin area. Here, you could see all the info about your lifetime sales, last orders, average order value and search terms.

Also different categories for each product can be created. Magento 2 has a powerful pack of marketing tools.
