Once you log in to Togetherly, you'll land on your dashboard — the starting point for everything you do. Here's a quick tour of the main navigation areas so you can find your way around.

## Prerequisites

- A Togetherly account with an active login

## Steps

### Step 1: Get to know the Home page

After logging in, you'll see your **Home** page. At the top is a summary bar showing your monthly stats — sessions hosted, guest attendances, people reached, and minutes delivered. Below that are cards for each session type you can create: Telephone Group (Private), Telephone Group (Public), Befriending Match, and Video Group.

### Step 2: Use the top navigation bar

The navigation bar at the top of every page gives you quick access to the main areas. From left to right you'll find: **Home**, **Groups**, **Befriending**, **Reports**, **Contacts**, and **Help**. The currently active section is highlighted so you always know where you are.

### Step 3: Browse your Contacts

Click **Contacts** in the navigation bar to see your full contact list. You can search by name, filter by role, and add new contacts using the **New contact** button in the top-right corner.

### Step 4: Open Reports

Click **Reports** to view your reporting options. You'll see the same monthly stats summary at the top, plus cards for your available reports — **Impact Report**, **No-contact Report**, and **Safeguarding Report**.

### Step 5: Access Settings

Click the gear icon on the right side of the navigation bar and select **Settings**. From here you can manage your team members, update account settings, set up integrations, and view the audit log.

## Tips

- The Help link in the navigation bar opens the Togetherly help centre in a new tab.
- You can always get back to the Home page by clicking the Togetherly logo or the Home link in the navigation bar.

## Summary

You now know your way around the main sections of Togetherly — Home for session creation, Groups for your calendar, Befriending for 1-on-1 matches, Contacts for your directory, Reports for insights, and Settings for account management.
