# The Automation Studio Overview Page

When you access Automation Studio, view up to 50 automations in your account, a snapshot of automation activities, run history, and folders. You can also run each automation once from the Overview page.

## Folders

View folders that you created, and create folders without leaving the page.

![Click a folder to view its contents, and create a new folder by clicking the top level.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-mc_journeys_and_automations-264-0-0-production-enus/e08cdd71-c1c1-4ae5-a5e9-8a6dad583ad4/mc_journeys_and_automations/images/mc_as_folders_pane_create_new.png)

## View Options

View your automations in List or Detail view.

![Click the toggle to update the view.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-mc_journeys_and_automations-264-0-0-production-enus/e08cdd71-c1c1-4ae5-a5e9-8a6dad583ad4/mc_journeys_and_automations/images/mc_as_listViewDetailView_lightning_update.png)

List view displays more automations on a page without activity-level detail.

![See more of your automations at once.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-mc_journeys_and_automations-264-0-0-production-enus/e08cdd71-c1c1-4ae5-a5e9-8a6dad583ad4/mc_journeys_and_automations/images/mc_as_overview_list_view_1.png)

Detail view includes an abbreviated view of the automation’s design and any errors.

Hover over an activity to view its type, progress, and name. When a single automation step includes multiple activities, you can view the entire automation’s setup.
