Getting Started

Your dashboard home

Where you are, what to do next, and every studio you can open, on one calm page.

Note

We are turning on the new dashboard home one account at a time. If your dashboard still opens with "Welcome back" and four studio tiles, you have the earlier home, and everything on it works as before.

At the top

The top of your dashboard greets you and shows your Getting started ring, for example 2 / 4. Once all four steps are done, the ring turns into a Ready check.

Open More options under the greeting to Revisit Getting started, or to Hide setup steps if you would rather not see them. Hiding them takes the ring and the setup cards away together, on this browser. Show setup steps again brings them back.

What should I do next?

Up to three cards, in order, each with one button. The first is your next small move. Others can be a step you started but did not finish, tasks that are past due, or the book you are writing. When nothing is waiting on you, this section says so in one line.

If your assistant team is on, its brief and suggestions sit just below these cards. Past-due tasks then show up there instead of here, so you only see them once.

Your studios

One card for each studio you can open, the same list as your sidebar, with one sentence on what it does for you. The studio you picked in Getting started is marked You started here and comes first. If you have more studios than fit, one button shows the rest.

Everything else

Your writing sessions and the session timer, tasks, finance, email, social, recent books and quick actions are all still on the page, below your studios.

Working in someone else's account

When you work inside an account someone shared with you, the top of the dashboard says whose account it is. Your own Getting started progress stays out of it, and the studios they shared with you are in the menu as before.
