Remove or repostion "on hand" column in product pages

Topic summary

Request to change Shopify Admin product pages so the “On hand” inventory column can be removed or repositioned, prioritizing visibility of the “Available” column without horizontal scrolling.

Current limitation: Shopify does not allow customizing the Admin dashboard layout, including column order on product pages. Users cannot hide or move the “On hand” column.

Impact reported: Frequent horizontal scrolling to see “Available,” and mistakes when adjusting quantities in the wrong column due to the presence and placement of “On hand.” Multiple users expressed the same need to remove “On hand.”

Suggested path: Provide feedback to Shopify; if sufficient demand is received, Shopify might consider updating the layout in the future.

Status: No built-in solution or workaround identified. The issue remains open with no immediate changes or resolution.

Unfortunately you can’t make any changes to the Shopify Admin dashboard layout.

I know what you mean though, it can become tedious always having to scroll to see the available column.

If enough people provide feedback on it they could decide to update the layout in the future.
