The **Home** page is the first screen you land on after signing in. It gives you a quick read on storefront performance, surfaces what is new in Layers, and helps you jump to the area you came in to work on. ## Prerequisites * Your store must be past onboarding. See [Install](/help/onboarding/install) if you have just installed Layers. * Sync events from your storefront to the [Beacon API](/tracking-api/send-events) so the headline metrics have data to show. ## What you can see The Home page is organized into four areas: ### Date range and comparison At the top of the page you choose the window every metric on the page reports against: * **Date range** — pick a relative window such as **Past 7 days**, a calendar window such as **This month**, or a custom range. * **Compare to** — pick the baseline you want every metric compared against. Options include **Previous period**, **Previous month**, **Previous year**, and **Previous year (match day of week)**. Both controls also report sync health on the right side of the row: the time of your last bulk catalog import and the time of the last Shopify webhook Layers received. ### Headline metrics A row of metric cards summarizes your storefront over the selected window. Each card shows the current value, a sparkline, and the percent change versus the comparison period. Cards typically include search volume, revenue, orders, and recommendation block engagement, but the exact set is store-specific. Click any card to open its full report in [Reports](/platform/metrics) for deeper analysis. Every card type opens a report now — a saved metric opens its report, and an ad-hoc card opens a new report seeded with that card's query so you can edit it. ### Notices If Layers detects something that needs your attention — for example, a stuck catalog sync or a misconfigured integration — it appears here as an inline notice with a one-click action to resolve it. ### Insights carousel Below the headline metrics, the **Insights** carousel surfaces one card at a time from your Lab → [Insights](/help/lab/insights) feed — trends, revenue attribution, anomalies, and opportunities Layers detected in recent shopper activity. Use the prev and next controls to page through up to six recent insights, or select **View all insights** to open the full feed. The carousel is hidden until Layers has at least one insight worth showing. ### Product updates The lower half of the page highlights what is new in Layers, with links to the relevant feature, an in-product CTA, and a link to the full changelog entry. Cards can be dismissed individually so the list stays focused on what you have not seen yet. ## Quick links to every area Use the **Keep building in Layers** modal to jump to any area of the dashboard. The modal groups every destination by: * **Merchandising** — rules, sort orders, sequences, blocks, product families. * **Search & Discovery** — autocomplete, request transforms, query expansions, semantic redirects. * **Catalog & Data** — catalog, attributes, collections, metafields. * **Analytics & Evaluation** — reports, analytics dashboards, search and image testing, evaluation runs. * **Integrations** — third-party integrations and API access. Use the category tabs to filter the list while you are looking for a specific surface. ## Troubleshooting | Symptom | Likely cause | What to do | | ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Headline cards show `—` | No tracked events received yet | Confirm your storefront is forwarding the events to the [Beacon API](/tracking-api/send-events). | | **Last Bulk Catalog Import** is days old | Catalog sync is failing or paused | Trigger a [catalog resync](/help/catalog/resync-catalog) or contact [support](mailto:support@uselayers.com). | | **Last Shopify Webhook** is hours old | Shopify is not delivering webhooks | Check the Shopify app installation and reinstall if needed. | | **Store Requires Attention** notice appears | Layers paused syncing because Shopify could not locate your store (often after the app was uninstalled or the shop became unreachable) | Your data and settings are preserved. Reinstall the Layers app or contact [support](mailto:support@uselayers.com) to restore access. | | Comparison column shows `—` | The comparison window has no data (for example, the store was not live yet) | Pick a more recent **Compare to** target or a shorter date range. | ## Next steps * [Analytics dashboards](/help/analytics/dashboards) — explore saved dashboards, drill-down panels, and multi-metric search reports. * [Insights](/help/lab/insights) — review the trends, anomalies, and opportunities surfaced in the Home carousel. * [Reports](/platform/metrics) — build, save, and export reports off the same data. * [Metric recipes](/platform/metrics/recipes) — pre-built reports you can drop in. * [LayersQL syntax](/platform/layersql/syntax) — the query language behind every report and headline metric.
