Open **Home** in the sidebar to see where your publishing stands. The page greets you by first name ("Good morning", "Good afternoon" or "Good evening" in your time zone) and shows how many posts are lined up. Dates and times on this page use your own time zone and clock format, which you set under **Time and date** in the user menu. See [Profile and security](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/account/profile-and-security.md). ## Before you connect a channel Until you connect your first channel, Home shows a welcome panel titled **Write once, post everywhere** with two buttons: * **Connect a channel** opens the Channels page. See [Connect channels](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/user-guide/connect-channels.md). * **Open the composer** starts a new post. See [Composer](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/user-guide/composer.md). Three cards under the panel walk through the order of work: **Connect an account**, **Write your post**, **Pick a time**. ## Header and alerts The buttons at the top right are **Jump to**, **Calendar** and **New post**. **Jump to** opens a command bar, also available with Ctrl+K or Cmd+K, where you type to find a page or action. Below the header, up to two alert chips appear when something needs you: * **N channels need reconnecting** opens Channels with the expired connections filtered. * **N posts waiting for approval** opens Approvals. It shows only if you review posts for a team. See [Approval workflow](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/user-guide/approvals.md). ## Performance The **Performance** section compares the last 7, 30 or 90 days with the same number of days before them. Pick the range with the **7 days**, **30 days** and **90 days** switch. The default is 30 days. > [tab] With Analytics > > These four tiles show when your plan includes Analytics, or when billing is not turned on for the site. > > | Tile | What it shows | > | - | - | > | **Posts out** | Posts published in the range, the change against the previous range, and **Days with a post** out of the range length. | > | **Engagements** | Likes, comments and shares combined, split by an **Engagement mix** bar, with the **Best day** in the range. | > | **Impressions** | Impressions in the range and, when the networks report it, the share of them that was **Reached**. | > | **Followers** | Followers across your channels, the **Largest** channel and a per-day trend.

Links to Posts. | ## Your channels The **Your channels** card lists up to seven connected channels, with the ones that need reconnecting first. Each tile shows the channel name, its network and its state: | Tag | Meaning | | - | - | | **Live** | The channel is active and can publish. | | **Paused** | You paused the channel. Nothing goes out to it until you resume it. | | **Reconnect** | The connection expired or was disconnected. | With Analytics, a tile also shows the follower count, or **No figures yet** before the first sync. The subtitle shows how many channel places you use, for example **3 of 5 connected**, when your plan has a limit. The last tile reads **Add a channel**, **View all N** when there are more than seven channels, or **Channel limit reached**. **Manage** opens the full Channels page. ## Going out next The large card at the top of the left column shows the next post due in the next 14 days, whether it is scheduled or waiting for approval. It shows the first lines of the caption, the first image or video, the channels it goes to and a **Goes out in** countdown. Notices under the post tell you what could stop it: * **A reviewer has to approve this before it can go out.** with a **View approvals** link. * A message that a channel needs reconnecting before the post goes out, with a **Reconnect** tag. * A paused channel: the post goes out once you resume the channel. Use **Calendar** to see it in context, **Edit** to open it in the composer, or **Open** to see the post page. Below it, **Also coming up** lists the other posts due in the next two weeks, up to six posts in total counting the one above, with an **All posts** button. When nothing is scheduled the card is titled **Next up** and reads **Your calendar is clear**, with a **Write a post** button. ## Failed posts If any channel rejected a post, a **Did not go out** card lists the three most recent failures with the channel and the error the network returned. Select a row to open the post, then fix the problem and send again. See [Posts and statuses](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/user-guide/posts-and-statuses.md). ## Activity, month and pipeline * **Activity** is a bar chart by the day each post went out. With Analytics you can switch it between **Engagements**, **Impressions** and **Posts**. Without Analytics it shows posts only. * The month card shows the current month with a marker on days that have scheduled or published posts. * **Pipeline** counts your posts by stage: **Drafts**, **Scheduled**, **Awaiting approval**, **Paused** and **Failed**. The last three show only when they are not zero. **Failed** counts unpublished posts that have at least one channel that failed, even if another channel of the same post went out. ## Your plan and library When billing is turned on for the site, a **Your plan** card shows: * Your AI credit balance (**credits left**), or **AI credits** with an unlimited balance. The **Plans** button opens the plan page. * A usage bar for each limit your plan sets: **Connected channels**, **Posts per month**, **Posts scheduled ahead** and **Media storage**. Limits that are unlimited are not listed. Once you have uploaded media or saved captions, a **Library** card shows the file count and storage used, and the number of captions saved. ## Where it landed and recent posts With Analytics, **Where it landed** shows the share of engagements by network, using each network's own colour with its icon. **Recently published** lists your last three published posts, with the engagements they gathered when figures are available. > [!NOTE] > > Figures come from the networks and are read about once an hour. A new post can show no numbers for a while. See [Analytics](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/user-guide/analytics.md) for how often each post is read.
