 ## New features
 
+### Web Dashboard
+
+The new web dashboard brings real-time visualization to load testing. This feature allows users to monitor test progress and analyze
+results dynamically, enhancing the overall testing experience.
+
+#### Real-time test results
+
+Activate this feature using the environment variable K6_WEB_DASHBOARD=true. For this initial release, the dashboard is not enabled
+by default to allow users to opt into this new experience as it continues to evolve.
+
+```bash
+K6_WEB_DASHBOARD=true k6 run script.js
+```
+
+Once enabled and the test script is running, navigate to [http://localhost:6565](http://localhost:6565) in your web browser to access the dashboard.

+collaboration.

 ### Add `clear` to the `locator` class [browser#1149](https://github.com/grafana/xk6-browser/pull/1149)
 
 The new `clear` method on `locator` will clear text boxes and input fields. This is useful when navigating to a website where the text boxes and input fields already contain a value that needs to be cleared before filling it with a specific value.
