## Overview

The home dashboard in the Spread app is a summary screen where you can see your email performance and lead engagement at a glance.

The dashboard is divided into two main areas.

* [**Campaigns & Triggered Campaigns**](/docs/spread-email-types#one-off-campaigns) **area**: Review the performance of bulk campaigns and triggered campaigns.
* [**Sequences**](/docs/spread-email-types#sequences) **area**: Review the performance of sequence emails sent 1:1 or step by step.

<br />

<Warning>
  The dashboard is for quickly checking your overall performance.\
  To review the send results, status, and engagement of each individual email in detail, see the
  [Email Metrics](/docs/metrics) guide.
