You can also roll them closed by clicking the down arrow icon in the far right corner near the widget title.
Some widgets have configuration options that you can access by hovering over the title bar and clicking on the configure link that appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen, you’ll see a couple of pulldown tabs labeled Screen Options and Help.

The Help tab provides information about these customizations, as well as helpful links to documentation and support. In the Sidebar, you’ll find links that provide easy access to the different areas of your website.

You can click these to easily access any of the subsections of your site. The main menu items include Dashboard, where you can receive statistics and updates regarding your website.
