Use the Home page to see what needs you

Home is the first page in the sidebar. It brings together the posts waiting on you, the brand's latest numbers, upcoming posts and recent messages, so you can see what to do next without opening each page.

Home shows cards for the brand you're in. By default it includes Followers, Total Views and Engagement, the Content pipeline, Published on Sequence, Upcoming, Your best performing posts, Needs you, Inbox, Best channels, Audience and Team activity. Stats and charts follow the date range at the top of Home.

Needs you lists the posts waiting on your review or approval, the same posts as Assigned to me in Approvals. Each row shows the post's still, its status and how long it has been waiting. The number beside the title counts those posts plus any posts that failed to publish.

To open a post in a new browser tab instead, hold Cmd (Ctrl on Windows) as you select it.

The card shows five posts at first. Select Load more to show five more, or Open Approvals to see your whole queue with filters and views. If posts failed to publish, a row such as 1 post failed to publish opens Schedule, where you can retry them.

When nothing is waiting, the card reads You're all caught up.

The Inbox card shows the five latest DMs from the brand's connected accounts, and how many posts have new comments. Select a message or Open inbox to reply in Inbox.

If no connected account supports messaging, or you don't have Inbox access to them, the card shows Connect an account to see your inbox. Select Connect account to open Channels. Inbox is part of Pro, so on the Free plan the card offers See Pro instead.

Best channels ranks the brand's connected channels for the date range. Use Ranked by to choose Views, Comments, Saves, Shares or Posts. Under each number, the change compares it with the previous period of the same length, as a percentage, or as a plain difference when the earlier number is too small for a percentage to be meaningful.

Each person arranges Home separately for each brand, so your layout doesn't change anyone else's.

Customising is available on wider screens. On a phone, Home stacks its cards in one column.
