Understanding your dashboard
A quick tour of your Home command center and what each section shows you.
Updated July 11, 2026 · 1 min read
Your Home dashboard is a command center: one screen that shows where every application stands and what needs attention next.
What you will see
Progress rings at the top show how far along you are overall. Below them, the status board breaks your applications down by stage, upcoming deadlines shows what is due soon across all your schools, and quick actions drop you straight into the tool you need next, whether that is an essay draft or your college list.
Moving fast with the command palette
Press Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows) anywhere in the app to open the command palette. Type a college name, a page, or an action and jump straight there without touching the sidebar.
