# Watchlist on Dashboard

Simkl's dashboard is designed to provide members with an overview of their watchlists, updates on newly aired episodes, and easy access to their content. 

The Dashboard is the visual representation of your Watchlist data. Here's how shows from each watchlist are displayed on the website's dashboard:

* The "Next Up" Section: Automatically populates with the next episode of any show in your "Watching" list.
* Recent Activity: A timeline of your latest check-ins.
* Stats Sidebar: Visualizes your "Time Wasted" on TV/Anime and shows your progress toward clearing your "Plan to Watch" backlog.

Overall, the dashboard is designed to provide a comprehensive and organized overview of a member's watchlists, making it simple to manage and access their content.

* Watching: (Exclusive to TV Shows and Anime) For series you are currently following. These appear in your "Next Up" dashboard.
* Plan to Watch: Your "To-Do" list. This is where you store upcoming releases or recommendations from friends.
* On Hold: (Exclusive to TV Shows and Anime) For shows you’ve started but paused. This keeps your "Watching" list from becoming cluttered while saving your exact episode progress.
* Completed: A full archive of everything you've finished.
* Dropped: For content you no longer wish to track. Moving a title here stops all notifications and removes it from your active recommendations.

## 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://docs.simkl.org/how-to-use-simkl/core-features/watchlists-and-custom-lists/how-to-use-watchlists/watchlist-on-dashboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
