# Dashboard Overview

Your central command for managing licenses, mentions, and account activity.

### What Is the Dashboard?

The dashboard is your personalized home page after logging in. It provides a real-time overview of your identity protection activity, including license counts, recent mentions, subscription status, and trend data.

Think of it as your identity protection command center: one place to see what's happening across your entire WEIR account.

### Key Metrics

- **Total Licenses:** Count of all your licenses with breakdown (X owned · Y managed)
- **New Mentions:** Recent content discoveries where your likeness was detected
- **Earnings:** Your license revenue summary (if on paid plan)
- **Subscriptions:** Licenses you've subscribed to from others

#### Sparkline Trends

Small line charts next to each metric show recent activity trends over time. An upward trend indicates growth, while a flat or downward trend shows stability or decline in that metric.

### Activity Feed

The activity feed shows your most recent events in chronological order. This includes new mentions discovered, claims created or received, team invitations, and license status changes.

- **Mention Discoveries:** New content found matching your licenses
- **Claim Updates:** Status changes on claims you've sent or received
- **Team Activity:** Invitation accepts, collaborator changes
- **License Events:** Subscriptions, status changes, and expirations

**Tip:** Click any activity item to navigate directly to the relevant page for more details.

### Notification Bell

The notification bell in the top navigation shows unread alerts. Notifications appear for time-sensitive events like incoming claims, team invitations, and mention discoveries.

- **Badge Count:** The number on the bell indicates unread notifications
- **Click to View:** Open the notification panel to see recent alerts
- **Mark as Read:** Notifications clear once viewed or dismissed

**Note:** You can configure which notifications you receive in Settings → Notifications.

### Welcome Banner & Checklist

New accounts see a welcome banner with a getting-started checklist. The checklist guides you through essential setup steps like verifying your identity, creating your first license, and configuring your profile.

- Complete your profile information
- Verify your identity
- Create your first license
- Run your first mention check

**Tip:** The checklist disappears once all steps are completed. See [Getting Started](/content/help/getting-started/index.html) for a full walkthrough.
