# Your Dashboard
When you log in to your account, you are directed to your Open Collective Dashboard.
The Dashboard is where you complete tasks on Open Collective, whether you are acting as an individual, a collective admin, an organization admin, or a fiscal host admin.
### Navigating your Dashboard
When you first arrive, your Dashboard shows your **personal account**. From here you can:
* Review recent activity on your account
* View and track payment requests you have submitted
* View contributions you have made on the platform
* Update account settings such as email, security, and payment methods
You can follow specific collectives and fiscal hosts from their public profile pages using the **Follow** button under their name.
Platform announcements appear when you click the megaphone icon in the top-right corner, next to the search bar.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you are invited to join a collective, organization, or fiscal host as a team member or admin, you receive a notification on your Dashboard while logged in.
{% endhint %}
Click your profile photo in the top-right corner for additional options:
* View your public profile
* Enable [Preview Features](/advanced/preview-features.md)
* Open the Open Collective homepage, documentation, or support pages
### Switching between profiles
Click the **account switcher** in the top-left corner (showing your current profile image) to see every account where you hold a role.
Switch to another profile to work as:
* A collective admin
* An organization admin
* A fiscal host admin
The sidebar updates to show sections relevant to that role. Fiscal hosts and organizations with money management see grouped menus such as **Outgoing Money**, **Incoming Money**, **Ledger**, **Hosting**, and **People**. See [Dashboard Navigation](/fiscal-hosts/dashboard-navigation.md) for a full reference and mapping from older sidebar labels.
### Dashboard sidebar
The dashboard sidebar groups money-in and money-out workflows:
* **Outgoing Money** — pay, approve, and track payment requests and outgoing contributions
* **Incoming Money** — review received contributions, expected funds, incomplete contributions, and payment requests you submitted
* **Ledger**, **Hosting**, and **People** — transaction history, hosted accounts, and account directory (for fiscal hosts and self-hosted organizations)
Cross-account items appear under the group that matches the money direction. For example, payment requests you submitted appear under **Incoming Money > Issued Payment Requests**.
See [Dashboard Navigation](/fiscal-hosts/dashboard-navigation.md) for the full sidebar reference and a mapping from older labels.
If you prefer the previous sidebar labels (**Expenses** and **Contributions**), toggle **Sidebar Reorganization Incoming/Outgoing** off from [Preview Features](/advanced/preview-features.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://documentation.opencollective.com/getting-started/your-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.
