Navigating the Project Overview

The **project overview** provides a snapshot of your project. Here, you can access the plan hub and view all project activities, including the date and who's involved. You can also access all important features connected to the project on the left hand navigation bar.

On the left-hand side of the project overview, you'll find the '**Plan Hub**' and '**Project Activity**'. Under project activity, you can see change orders, bid, proposals and any other activity that has taken place on this project, organized by date.

On the right you'll see:

- Overdue approvals
- Unread messages
- Budget summary
- Scheduled events coming up
