# Dashboard

The Dashboard is your at-a-glance overview of how content is performing across X, Instagram, and Facebook.

### What you'll see

* **Performance summary** - engagement, reach, and growth across selected time windows
* **Top posts** - your highest-performing content for the selected period
* **Trends** - directional changes in your key metrics over time
* **Time window selector** - switch between 7 days, 14 days, 28 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, and All time

### How it stays current

Dashboard charts update from analytics that Editors upload through [Data Ingestion](/thecontentforge-docs/feature-guides/data-ingestion.md) and from tracked profiles connected through [Social Connections](/thecontentforge-docs/feature-guides/social-connections.md). The more recent and complete your data, the more accurate the picture.

A "MON" highlight appears on the Data Ingestion link every Monday. That's the suggested cadence for keeping manual exports fresh.

### Tips

* Use the longer time windows (90 days, 6 months, 1 year, All time) to spot real trends, not week-to-week noise
* Cross-reference top posts with [Patterns](/thecontentforge-docs/feature-guides/patterns.md) to understand *why* they performed
* If charts look stale or empty, check that this week's analytics have been ingested or synced
