# Home, Discover, and Mission Control

Use Home to orient yourself, Discover to learn a capability, and Mission Control to act on work that needs attention.

## Read Home
Home groups **Needs you**, **Active work**, **Tasks**, **Suggestions**, and **Recent activity**. Start with items waiting for your input, then open active work to see its actual state. Counts summarize a view; open the item to understand what happened.

The dashboard can also show **Agent world**, pinned artifacts, browser automation, and a desktop live view when their prerequisites are present. A missing desktop connection should not be read as access to your own computer.

## Find a hidden feature
Open **Discover** from the command palette. The navigation can start short and reveal areas as you use them. Choose **Show all available pages** in hosted Reading preferences if you prefer the full list. Availability restrictions still apply.

Discover tips link directly to a feature. Dismissing a tip keeps it hidden; using a feature can also retire its introductory tip. **Replay the tour → Start the tour** walks through navigation, chat, Inbox, approvals, and Settings. Escape ends the tour.

## Act in Mission Control
Open Mission Control from the command palette. Read the item in **Needs approval** or **Your turn**, then inspect its context before responding. Use **Working** to find active work and distinguish it from idle items. After approving or replying, check that the run actually proceeds.

## Personalize Home
Use pinned artifacts when composable Home is enabled. See [widgets and dashboard tiles](/docs/capabilities/widgets-and-home) for how refreshes work.
