The '''overview''' is one of the most essential components of EVE's user interface and is the primary means of viewing items in space. It is a customizable list of interactive entries and can assist players with virtually every activity performed in space. ~~Though it can be time-consuming~~ to ~~configure, the flexibility and effectiveness of a properly-configured overview justifies the time spent.~~

The '''overview''' is one of the most essential components of EVE's user interface and is the primary means of viewing items in space. It is a customizable list of interactive entries and can assist players with virtually every activity performed in space. Preparing your Overview to fit your own personal preferences are essential to you having a successful time playing EVE Online.

~~The primary weakness of the overview is that it is not in any way intelligent, so it is unable to anticipate a player's informational needs, nor can it alter its~~ own ~~configuration without player input. Because of this, the consequences of not setting up your overview properly could range from not being able~~ to ~~see~~ a war target and subsequently getting destroyed, to ﬁring on an ally because they appeared as a hostile, to being destroyed by NPC pirates that didn’t show up on the overview. The overview can be configured with multiple tabs and presets to allow easy access to multiple views and configurations.

~~'''''{{Co|yellow|IMPORTANT}}'' Review~~ your Overview ~~set-up regularly'''~~

== Understanding your Overview ==

~~Pilots should routinely review their~~ overview ~~set~~-up to ~~make sure it's current, especially when Updates have been released.

'''''{{Co|yellow|IMPORTANT}}'' Review your Overview set-up regularly'''

Pilots should routinely review their overview set-up to make sure it's current, especially when Updates have been released. On occasion, new entities get added to the game and are placed in new overview categories and are thus invisible in all old overviews. Also, some updates and patches may bring other changes to how the Overview works.
