Hi all! Today we’re beginning to roll out a brand new Envato Author Dashboard to all @Elements_Authors. This incorporates some new analytics data that will help you to better understand your Envato Market and Envato Elements income, and the top-performing items in your portfolio. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

Staggered rollout approach
We are inviting authors to use the new Envato Author dashboard in batches of 500 people per day. When the dashboard is available to you, we’ll notify you via email, and with an Intercom (pop-up) message that you’ll see in your Beta Author Dashboard.
The staggered rollout is a precaution while we test the load on our new dashboard servers. During this time, please feel free to start using the new dashboard as soon as you receive a notification. However, we ask that you don’t share the link with any other authors.
EDIT: The rollout is now complete! All Elements authors can access the dashboard via the link above.
New features
The new Envato Author dashboard adds several new features.
- View a detailed earnings report that includes Market and Elements income
- See your top 100 earning items, including Content Bonus
- You can filter this data by marketplace
- You can also filter this data to view a custom date range
Here’s what the new Earnings report will look like. You can click on the dropdown menus to change your View (Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly) and Shopfront (Market, Elements or both). You can also set a custom date range for the report.
The new dashboard also contains details of your Top Earning Items. You can use the dropdown menus to select shopfront (Market, Elements or both), and to set the period for this report (Past 7, 30, 90 or 365 days).
Scroll down to see data for up to 100 items, including the item title, category, earnings and content bonus for the nominated period. You can also download a CSV file containing this data, via the button at the bottom of the Top Earning Items report.
Coming soon
We’re currently working on some additional features that will be added after the initial launch.
-
Expanded item performance report. Specify the number of items available in the report, instead of just the top 100. -
CSV download: Item performance. Download item performance data in .csv format. -
CSV download: Envato earnings. Download your full Envato Earnings data in .csv format. - Incorporating features from the Beta Dashboards. We will be gradually bringing features from the Beta Dashboards (trending items, content bonus eligibility etc) across to the new Envato Author Dashboard, as we’re building towards a single, simple place to access all your data. Until that information has been brought across, you’ll still have access to the Beta Dashboard.
Other features in development
We’re also exploring ways to add other highly requested features to the new dashboard, but don’t have a timeframe available for these yet.
- Earnings reports that include after-tax information.
- Data on number of pageviews or licences per item.
What’s next?
The first batch of authors will receive access to the new dashboard today, with other batches following throughout the next week. Once you get access, we’d love to hear your feedback!
