# Home Dashboard

Your homepage is a dashboard you build yourself. Add the widgets you care about, arrange them how you like, and your layout follows you between sessions and devices.

{% hint style="success" %}
Your dashboard holds a widget grid, quick links to Projects, Meetings, and Lists, and the chat bar along the bottom — so you can start a conversation without leaving the page.
{% endhint %}

## Adding & Removing Widgets

Click **Widgets** to open the catalog. It lists everything available to you, grouped by area, with the ones already on your homepage marked as active.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open the catalog** Click **Widgets** at the top of your dashboard. The panel explains itself: *Click to add or remove a widget*.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Click to toggle** Clicking an inactive widget adds it to your grid. Clicking an active one removes it. Each widget can only be on your homepage once.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Arrange it** Drag the grip handle on a widget to move it, or drag the bottom-right corner to resize. Each widget's **⋯** menu also offers fixed widths — **Third**, **Half**, **Two-thirds**, and **Full** — plus **Remove**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Dragging and resizing are available on desktop screens. On smaller screens widgets automatically reflow to fit, so your layout stays readable on a tablet or phone.
{% endhint %}

## Available Widgets

You'll only see widgets for the areas your plan and permissions give you access to, so this list may be shorter for you.

| Widget                             | Shows                                                              |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Briefing**                       | Your daily brief with highlights and suggested prompts             |
| **Tasks**                          | Pending to-dos, with a jump into the tasks drawer                  |
| **Join Next Meeting**              | Your next calendar event with invite details and join links        |
| **Upcoming Meetings**              | The next four meetings on your calendar                            |
| **Recently Completed Meetings**    | Finished recordings and their open follow-ups                      |
| **My Recent Scopes**               | Your recent estimates and a status breakdown of everything you own |
| **Recent Projects**                | Projects you can access, most recently updated first               |
| **Project Activity**               | Your most active projects with compact sparklines                  |
| **At-Risk Accounts**               | Account-team customers below the health threshold                  |
| **Account Health**                 | Team account count, average health, and distribution               |
| **Recent Account Signals**         | Signal volume and strength mix across your assigned accounts       |
| **Priority Opportunities**         | Highest-priority opportunities by weighted value                   |
| **Recent Artifacts**               | Recently updated files in your vault                               |
| **Custom Artifact**                | Up to five artifacts you pin, switchable as tabs                   |
| **Public Artifacts Expiring Soon** | Published artifacts that are expired or expiring within seven days |

## Layout Presets

If you'd rather not arrange widgets by hand, pick a preset and everything on your grid is resized to fit the pattern.

| Preset              | Arrangement                                   |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Three Columns**   | Uniform grid, three widgets per row           |
| **Two Columns**     | Uniform grid, two widgets per row             |
| **Full Width**      | One widget per row, maximum detail            |
| **Featured + Grid** | A hero widget on top, three-column grid below |
| **Wide + Narrow**   | Alternating wide and narrow pairs             |
| **Mixed**           | A two-column row, then a three-column row     |

Presets repack the whole grid, so any hand-tuned positions are replaced.

## Focus Mode

**Focus Mode** hides the widgets and shortcuts and leaves you with a greeting and the chat box, centered on an otherwise empty page. It's for when you want to talk to Darcy without the dashboard in your peripheral vision.

Toggle it from the homepage header, and toggle it off again with **Exit Focus Mode**. Your widgets are untouched while it's on.

## Starting Over

**Reset layout**, at the top of the widget catalog, restores the starter set: **Briefing**, **Upcoming Meetings**, and **Tasks** (filtered to what you have access to). Everything else is cleared from your grid.

## How Your Layout Is Saved

Your widget arrangement and your Focus Mode setting are stored on your account rather than in your browser, so they follow you to any device you sign in from. Layouts are saved per organization — if you belong to more than one, each gets its own homepage.

Changes save automatically a couple of seconds after you make them. If a save fails you'll see a *Could not save layout* message.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.darcyiq.com/core-features/home-dashboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
