Walkthrough: start your day on the Home page

1. Check your design reviews

The Design reviews card has two lists:

• Requested of you lists the open design reviews where someone asked you to review.
• Requested by you lists the open design reviews you started. A tag shows where each one stands: In review, Changes requested, or Approved.

Each row shows the review's title, its project and number, and how long ago it changed. When a list has more reviews than it shows, the count at the top shows how many, for example 5 of 7.

1. Select a review to open it.
2. Select View all to see every review in that list.

2. Check the issues assigned to you

The Issues assigned to you card lists the open issues assigned to you. Each row shows the issue's title, its project and number, and how long ago it changed. The first label shows on the right. A number such as +1 shows how many more labels the issue has. Point to the labels to see all of them.
