What's in the PostSnag dashboard? (a tour)

PostSnag's dashboard is where every post, profile, and group you capture on Facebook ends up, organized into ten areas along the left-hand sidebar: Overview, Profiles, Posts, Groups, Compare, MCP, Discovery, Bookmarks, Folders, and a Recent scans list. This article is a tour of what's where; most areas below have their own dedicated article with the full detail.

Overview

Your home screen, and the first thing you see after signing in. Nine stat tiles summarize your whole library (top creator, best day to post, most-used format, and more), alongside two leaderboards, library-wide charts, a Top posts list, and a Biggest groups list. See What is the Overview dashboard?

Profiles

Your full roster of every creator you track, split between the ones you captured directly and the ones pulled in automatically from the Facebook Groups you've scanned. Open any profile for its own header stats, plus Posts, Reels, and Analytics tabs, and its own Export button. The Export menu has three options: Download data for AI (a Markdown file and a CSV file together), Download media for AI (a .zip of the images and videos), and Download Data & Media for AI (a .zip with both). See How do I find and manage captured profiles? and Which export option should I choose? (data, media, or both)

Posts

The global command center: every post you've ever captured, from every creator and every group, in one place. Sort by likes, comments, shares, or biggest outlier, filter to All posts, Top posts, or Outlier posts, search, filter by creator, flip to a Reels or Analytics view, and multi-select for bulk export. See What is the Posts page, and how do I use it?

Groups

Every Facebook Group you've captured, added automatically the first time you export from inside it, or captured whole by scrolling its own feed. Each group gets its own Posts, Profiles, and Analytics tabs, plus its own export. See How do I view and analyze a Group?

Compare

Line up to three of your captured profiles side by side: an At-a-glance table with the leader highlighted on each row, plus parallel breakdown charts for each profile. See How do I compare profiles side by side?

MCP

Connects Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, or Perplexity to the profiles, posts, groups, and bookmarks you've already captured, so you can ask questions about your library right in the chat instead of exporting a file first. PostSnag MCP is included with Pro and Lifetime. See What is PostSnag MCP, and what can I ask my AI?

Discovery

Watches the creators you track and surfaces the caption and hook patterns that keep working across them, each one named in plain language with an average performance multiplier and real example posts behind it. This looks at the creators you personally track, not every PostSnag user's captures. See What is Discovery, and how do I use it?

Bookmarks

Saves a post or a profile with one click, browsable by Posts, Profiles, and By group tabs. See How do I bookmark posts and profiles?

Folders

Named collections you build yourself to group captured posts by project, client, or topic. See How do I organize captured posts into Folders?

Recent scans

A shortcut list of both the profiles and the groups you've scanned lately. Hover any row for two options: remove, which just clears it from this list, or delete, which removes that profile or group and everything captured with it for good. See Recent scans: what is the difference between remove and delete?

Beyond the sidebar

Your account menu, in the top right, opens Settings for your account details, notification preferences, usage, and plan. A support button sits in the bottom right of every page, so you can message the team or search the help center without losing your place. And if you're brand new, PostSnag walks you through your first capture with a short guided tour and a getting-started checklist. See How do I get started on my first day?

Common questions

Where did the Analytics nav item go?

It's not a standalone sidebar item anymore. Profile-level analytics live on each profile's own Analytics tab, and library-wide analytics live on Overview.

What happened to Recent profiles?

It's now Recent scans, and it lists both profiles and Facebook Groups you've scanned, not only profiles.

Is Discovery a feed of everyone's posts on PostSnag?

No. Discovery only looks at the creators you personally track. It's built to surface patterns in your own library, not everyone's captures pooled together.

Where do I go to compare two or three specific creators?

Compare, in the sidebar, lines up to three of your captured profiles side by side.

What can I do from the MCP page?

Copy the PostSnag link for your AI platform, follow the setup steps for Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, or Perplexity, and browse a library of ready-to-paste prompts. See What is PostSnag MCP, and what can I ask my AI?

How do I get back to the home screen from anywhere in the dashboard?
