When you create a new community you get a post with this text:

> Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of your very own [Civilized Discourse Construction Kit](https://www.discourse.org). 🐣
> 
> ### Getting Started
> 
> If you haven’t already, launch the [setup wizard](https://meta.discourse.org/wizard) and go through the steps to configure your site. You can run the wizard as many times as you want, it’s completely safe!
> 
> > Note: To make launching your new site easier, all new members will have daily email summary emails enabled (instead of the usual weekly) and be given a higher level of trust. See below to learn more about the trust system and bootstrap mode.
> 
> ### Admin Dashboard
> 
> Exercise your admin superpowers any time via the admin dashboard at
> 
> [**/admin**](https://meta.discourse.org/admin)
> 
> You can also access it via the “hamburger” ☰ menu in the upper right: Admin functions are generally marked with the wrench 🔧 icon, so look for that.

**The hamburger icon is now in the left side and remove the site panel**
