Hi everyone,
Does anyone know of issues with setting up "Message Placeholders"?? I followed the steps, refreshed, logged out, then back in but nothing happens. Not sure what Im doing wrong. Ive attached a screenshot.

Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all.
