# Dashboard tour

[**/app/dashboard**](https://my.lexpoint.io/app/dashboard) is the home screen of Lexpoint and the
screen the logo returns you to. It has five regions, and each one has a job.

```media
id: dashboard-full-tour
type: screenshot
caption: The whole dashboard — left sidebar, top bar, widget grid, quick actions strip, and right sidebar.
shot: /app/dashboard — full page at 1440×900, no menus or drawers open, right sidebar visible. Demo account with a complete profile, one case, and at least one upcoming consultation. Light mode. Redact the welcome line's first name, the avatar initials, any case or consultation title, and any email address.

## The left sidebar

The sidebar is the same on every `/app` screen. It is your map of the product, grouped so the order
means something:

| Group | Items |
|---|---|
| Who you are | **Home**, **Profile**, **ImmiReport**, **Consultations** |
| What you are doing | **Proposals**, **Cases** |
| What you are tracking | **Compliance** |
| More | **Settings**, **Rate Us** |

The current section is highlighted with a coloured icon and a dot. **ImmiReport** is only in the
list when a report applies to your situation.

Collapse the sidebar to icons with the control beside the logo — it stays collapsed on your next
visit. Hovering over a collapsed icon reveals its name. A theme toggle sits at the very bottom.

On a phone the sidebar is hidden and opens from the menu button at the far left of the top bar.

## The top bar

A fixed 48-pixel strip across the top of every screen.

| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Breadcrumb | Where you are. On mobile this collapses to a back arrow and the current page name. |
| **Search…** with a **⌘K** hint | Opens the command palette. Type to filter, then jump to a page. |
| Bell | Notifications and announcements. A dot appears when something is unread. See [Notifications and the updates feed](/individuals/dashboard/notifications-and-updates/). |
| Lexi | Opens the assistant drawer, where it is available to you. |
| Question mark | Opens support — get help or send feedback. |
| Avatar | Settings, tickets, billing, and sign out. |

## The main column

Everything under the top bar and left of the sidebar, read top to bottom:

1. **The welcome line** — a *Welcome* greeting with your first name, and a subtitle matched to your situation.
2. **One attention banner, at most.** Lexpoint deliberately shows only the highest-priority
   prompt rather than stacking them: finishing your profile or a pending review, verifying your
   identity when an employer is linked to you, or a request for feedback.
3. **The widget grid** — up to three rows of two, so **six widgets at most**. This is the part that
   differs between accounts and the part you can rearrange. Every widget is listed in the
   [widget reference](/individuals/dashboard/widget-reference/).
4. **The quick actions strip** — a row of chips below the grid. It is fixed: it is not a widget, it
   cannot be moved, and it does not count against the six slots.

| Chip | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Widgets** | Opens the widget picker, with your slot count beside it — see [Choosing and ordering widgets](/individuals/dashboard/choosing-widgets/). |
| **Contact Us** | Opens support. |
| **Update Profile** | Goes to your profile. |
| **Book a Call** | Opens consultation booking without leaving the page. |
| **View ImmiReport** | Appears only when you have a report. |

:::note[Why the grid is capped at six]
The dashboard is meant to be read in seconds. A widget carries one value and one line of context;
anything deeper lives on the page that owns it. Six is the point past which a scan surface becomes a
report you have to study.

## The right sidebar

A narrow column on the right, on wide screens only. It carries up to three blocks, and starts with
**Consultations** and **Proposals**. **Cases**, **Tickets**, and **Updates** can be added in their
place.

Below the widest breakpoint the column is hidden and the Consultations and Proposals cards move into
the main column instead, so nothing is lost on a phone.

shot: /app/dashboard — right sidebar only, cropped to the column, showing two blocks and the "Add widget" button at the bottom. Demo account with one upcoming consultation and one active proposal, light mode. Redact the consultation title, host name, and the proposal amount.

## What is saved and where

Your layout follows your account, not your browser — arrangements are stored server-side, so the
dashboard you build on a laptop is the dashboard you open on a phone. The sidebar's collapsed state
and your theme are the exceptions: those are per-browser.

Adding, removing, or moving a widget saves and then reloads the dashboard with a short branded
overlay, because the widget data itself is calculated on the server.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why does my dashboard look different from someone else's?

The widget grid is built from what is true for your account — your profile, your report, your cases, what you have told Lexpoint about your own journey — and from any arrangement you have saved. The sidebar, top bar, and quick actions strip are the same for everyone.

### Where did the right sidebar go?

It only appears on wide screens. On a narrow window or a phone, Consultations and Proposals move into the main column instead and the other blocks are reached from their own pages.

### Is there a faster way to move around than the sidebar?

Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) anywhere in the app to open search and jump straight to a page.
