Understanding the Dashboard
A complete overview of the LinkedGrow dashboard, navigation, stats, quick actions, and how features are organized by plan.
Dashboard overview
When you log in, the dashboard is the first thing you see. It gives you a snapshot of your LinkedIn content activity and quick access to all tools.
Stats grid
At the top of the dashboard, four stat cards show your activity:
- Total Posts - All posts you have created (drafts, scheduled, and published combined)
- Drafts - Posts saved but not yet scheduled or published
- Scheduled - Posts queued for future publication
- Published - Posts that have been sent to LinkedIn
These numbers update in real time as you create, schedule, and publish content.
Quick actions
Below the stats, four shortcut buttons help you jump straight into creating:
- Generate Post - Opens the AI post generator to create content from a topic
- Write Post - Opens the editor for manual post creation
- Repurpose Content - Convert articles, Reddit posts, or YouTube videos into LinkedIn posts
- Get Ideas - Browse AI-generated content ideas for your niche
Recent posts and upcoming schedule
The bottom section of the dashboard shows:
- Recent Posts - Your last 3 posts with status badges (Published, Scheduled, or Draft) and dates
- Upcoming Schedule - Your next 3 scheduled posts with exact publish times in your timezone

When you try to access a feature not included in your plan, you will see a friendly prompt explaining what the feature does and a link to upgrade.
API key setup reminder
If you have not configured an AI provider yet, a banner appears on the dashboard encouraging you to set up your API key. Once you add a key and select a model, the banner changes to a green "AI Provider Connected" confirmation message.
Dark mode
LinkedGrow supports light, dark, and system-following themes. You can change the theme in Settings under the theme section, or look for the appearance toggle in the footer of marketing pages.
