# 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.
