Finding Your Way Around the Dashboard

## Navigating the Dashboard The dashboard is where you'll spend most of your time on FANZA. It's designed to give you quick access to everything without digging through menus. Here's a breakdown of each section and what it does. **Home Feed** — This is your main content stream. It shows posts from creators you follow and subscribe to, with the newest content appearing first. Free posts from people you follow show up here alongside exclusive content from your paid subscriptions. If a post is pay-per-view, you'll see a preview with a price tag — you can choose to unlock it or skip it. **Messages** — Your private conversations with other users. If you're subscribed to a creator, you can send them direct messages here (assuming they have DMs enabled). Creators use this to communicate with their subscribers and can even send pay-per-view media through messages. **Notifications** — Everything that happens related to your account shows up here: new followers, likes on your posts, tips you've received, subscription renewals, and platform announcements. You can customize which types of notifications you receive in your settings. **Collections** — When you bookmark a post (using the bookmark icon), it gets saved here. You can create custom collections to organize saved content however you want — by creator, by topic, or whatever makes sense for you. **Subscriptions** — A complete list of your active, expired, and cancelled subscriptions. From here you can see when each subscription renews, how much you're paying, and toggle auto-renewal on or off. You can also cancel subscriptions from this page. **Settings** — Account preferences, security options (like two-factor authentication), privacy controls, and notification settings all live here. On desktop, you navigate between these sections using the sidebar on the left. On mobile, there's a bottom navigation bar with icons for each main section. The layout adapts to your screen size automatically.
