# Monitor Booth Status

You can monitor your booth’s health and performance in real-time using either the in-app Mission Control screen or the [devices page](https://app.simplebooth.com/devices) on your online dashboard.

### In-App Mission Control

Mission Control is a hidden dashboard available after you have launched your booth. It allows you to check your connection status and make minor adjustments without exiting booth mode.

#### How to Access Mission Control

To keep the interface secure from guests, Mission Control is accessed via a specific touch gesture:

1. Ensure the app is resting on the **Tap to Start** screen.
2. Place two fingers side-by-side in the center of the screen.
3. Slowly **pinch out** (slide your fingers away from each other in opposite directions).

{% hint style="info" %}
This gesture is intentionally subtle to prevent participants from accidentally accessing your settings during an event. It may take a few tries to master the movement!
{% endhint %}

#### Mission Control Tools

Mission Control is divided into two main tabs: Status and Adjustments. You can toggle between them at the bottom of the screen. 

**Status Tab**

View a high-level overview of your current setup:

* **Preset & Gallery**: See which preset is active and which online gallery is receiving uploads.
* **Network**: Confirm which Wi-Fi network the iPad is using.
* **Device Info**: Check the iPad's name and available storage.
* **License**: View the license code currently authorizing the app.

**Adjustments Tab**

### Online Devices Page

If you are managing an event remotely, you can get a status overview of all your iPads from the [devices page](https://app.simplebooth.com/devices) in your dashboard.

The dashboard provides a live look at:

* **Connection Status**: See when the iPad was "Last Seen" online.
* **Event Details**: Which preset is running and the latest upload activity.
* **Hardware Health**: Monitor the iPad's battery percentage and available disk space.
* **Software**: Ensure the iPad is running the latest version of the HALO app.
* **Queue**: See if there are pending uploads stored on the device.

From this page, you can also rename your iPad or remotely launch a new preset, provided the device is currently online.
