What are pinned graphs?
Nightwatch allows you to pin your graphs on your front page dashboard that appear right after you log in to your account. This helps you to immediately see what is going on without even going deeper into other pages.
You can filter these graphs based on various metrics, like Average Position, Search Visibility Index, Domain Authority; you can compare data with competitors, backlinks, and much more.
You can also use these pinned graphs to share your progress with your clients or followers.
