# Home & Activity
> Read what waits on you from the Home screen and search every past agent report across modules in the Activity inbox
Home is the screen you land on after sign-in: everything waiting on you, one status line per module, and a banner for any live incident. The Activity page is the matching archive — a searchable inbox of everything agents have reported across modules.
## Why start at Home
* **One glance instead of five tabs.** Home pulls waiting work from every module onto a single screen.
* **Only your work.** Each item appears only if your role can view the surface it belongs to.
* **Nothing stale.** Items older than a month drop off the feed, so an old ask never masquerades as live work.
* **Alarms stay separate.** The incident banner is the only element on Home that alarms; everything else stays calm.
## The Needs you feed
The **Needs you** card lists what agents are waiting on you for, newest ask first, up to four items at a time. Each row names the item, what kind of ask it is, and how long it has been waiting; selecting it opens the surface where you answer.
| Item | What it means | Where it opens |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| Chat approval | An agent paused for your sign-off on an action, per your [approval settings](/guide/approval) | The conversation |
| Subagent waiting | A [subagent](/guide/agents-canvas) — a temporary helper agent spawned for one task — needs your input | The conversation |
| Runbook approval | Resolve wants approval to run a [runbook](/guide/incident/runbooks), a predefined remediation procedure | The incident |
| Keeper approval | A keeper — a scheduled policy check from a legacy surface — awaits approval on a proposed action | The conversation |
| Incident decision | Resolve finished its investigation and stopped for your decision | The incident |
| Ready to merge | A reviewed merge request passed [Review](/guide/code-review/overview) and is ready to merge | The review workspace |
| Connection error | A [connection](/guide/connections/overview) lost access and needs fixing | Connections |
An item leaves the feed when you act on it, and live incidents already shown in the incident banner are not repeated here. When nothing waits, the card says so — an empty feed is the goal state.
## Module status cards
The **Modules** card shows every module your role can see, each with one line summarizing its work queue:
| Module | Example status line | What it counts |
| --------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Optimize](/guide/cost-optimization/overview) | `$1.2K/mo found` | Monthly savings agents have identified — potential, not yet realized |
| [Review](/guide/code-review/overview) | `3 reviews queued` | Merge requests waiting in the review queue |
| [Cyber](/guide/security/pentest) | `2 open criticals` | Open critical findings, or `No app connected` before your first app |
| [Resolve](/guide/incident/overview) | `1 decision waiting` | Incidents where the investigation finished and awaits your call |
Selecting a module opens it. A separate **Automation today** card lists every [automation](/guide/automation/automations) run scheduled or completed today, so you can confirm background work actually ran.
## The incident banner
When incidents are live, a banner appears above everything else on Home showing up to the three worst by severity. Point at it to fan the stack out and open any incident directly. The banner appears only when an incident is live and only if your role can view Resolve — no incidents means no banner, not an empty box.
## Find past reports in Activity
The notification bell in the top bar opens your inbox as a small panel — enough for triage. The Activity page at [app.cloudthinker.io/activity](https://app.cloudthinker.io/activity) is the same inbox as a full page, built for finding one item among hundreds:
* **Search** notifications by text.
* **Filter** by module or narrow to unread only.
* **Mark all read** to clear the counter in one click.
Selecting any row navigates to the finding, review, incident, or conversation it reports on. To change which events reach you and on which channels — email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Google Chat — see [Notifications](/guide/notifications).
## FAQ
The feed is scoped to your role. An incident decision, for example, appears only if you can view Resolve. Ask a workspace admin to check your [role](/guide/workspace-users) if you expect an item you cannot see.
Items older than a month drop off the Needs you feed automatically. The underlying work is still there in its own module — the feed only stops treating it as live.
No. It is the monthly savings agents have found and you could act on — the actionable upper bound, not realized savings.
