Dashboard
The dashboard is where you run Lyra day to day. It shows what needs your attention, what Lyra is working on, and how your blog is performing. This page tours the navigation and the Overview screen.
Navigation
The left rail groups pages into three sections, each with live counts:
- Workspace: Overview, Calendar, Blogs (the count is your active blogs).
- Pipeline: Analytics, Activity (the count is running jobs).
- Account: Billing, Settings.
At the bottom of the rail, a chip shows your connected repo, or "Not connected". An account menu sits beside it.
If you run more than one website, a project switcher lets you change which site you are viewing. See Multiple websites.
Overview
Overview opens with a greeting and a status line, such as "2 items need a human · 3 ready to merge" or "Everything healthy · 1 ready to merge". Below that are the panels you use most.
Connect your repo
If your repo is not connected yet, a setup card appears here. It disappears once you connect. See Connect your repository.
Site context bar
A strip shows your site's name, domain, content focus, main tracked keyword, and how many links you track. A Manage button jumps to your website settings.
Today's focus
Today's focus is Lyra's single most important suggestion for this site right now. Early on it points you at setup steps. Once you are running, it surfaces the best next topic, with an action button and up to three clickable topic ideas.
Current pipeline
This panel shows where your posts are:
- A Released hero count of posts shipped.
- Your Avg review score out of 100.
- Stage counts for Ready, Reviewing, Writing, and Discovered.
Each count is clickable and opens the matching filter in Blogs.
Needs you
The Needs you queue is your to-do list, in priority order:
- Conflicts to Resolve.
- Ready posts to Merge.
- Failed runs to Write now.
When the queue is empty, you see "Nothing needs you". Every post is moving on its own, and Lyra will surface anything that stalls.
Performance, 7 days
A short performance strip shows Clicks, Impressions, Avg CTR, and Avg position for the last 7 days, with deltas, drawn from Google Search Console. A link opens full analytics. If search data is not connected or is masked, this shows as coming soon.
Recent activity and Upcoming
Two lists round out the page: the most recent runs, and the posts scheduled next.
What's next
- Topic discovery: How topics reach Today's focus.
- Reviewing and merging: Clear the Needs you queue.
- Calendar and planning: Fill Upcoming with scheduled posts.
- Analytics: Open the full performance view.
