# Dashboard

The Dashboard plugin provides quick access to your most recently-used files and most-frequently used files. To activate the Dashboard plugin, select Edit Preferences Plugins Dashboard. You will need to restart gedit to activate the Dashboard plugin.

The dashboard also includes a Search window, allowing you to search for files that may not appear in the list of files.

# Recently used files

The dashboard will initially display a shortcut for an empty document and seven of your most recently-used files. Click on the empty document to create a new file. Click on any of the other files to open that file.

# Most frequently-used files

Similarly, the dashboard displays a shortcut for an empty document and seven of your most frequently-used files. Click on the empty document to create a new file. Click on any of the other files to open that file.

Once activated, the dashboard will be displayed by default when you open gedit. You can also open the dashboard by clicking File New , or by pressing Ctrl N.
