Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://thecontentforge.gitbook.io/thecontentforge-docs/feature-guides/dashboard.md). # 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 * **AI Performance Analysis** - a plain-English read of your results, split into What's Working, What's Not Working, and Priority Actions This Week so you know exactly where to focus * **Algorithm Opportunities** - suggestions for how to work with each platform's algorithm to earn more reach from the content you're already making * **Best time to post** - an optimal posting window worked out from when your own audience has historically engaged most * **Platform and source filters** - narrow the view to a single platform or data source, and use the comparison selector to measure the current period against the previous 7, 14, or 30 days * **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 [My Account > 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 --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://thecontentforge.gitbook.io/thecontentforge-docs/feature-guides/dashboard.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
