# Monitor

Sitecore Content Hub provides the tools you need to measure how successful a content item is in a certain context. These metrics enable you to optimize [content usage](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/content-usage-and-impact.html "Content usage and impact") and distribution across channels.

You are also able to [monitor your current work](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/work-page.html "Work page") as well as other work that you have permission to see. This enables you to manage your work efficiently.

> [!note]
> Security in Content Hub is controlled using user groups and user group policies and can be applied during the [CMP flow](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/cmp-flow.html "CMP Flow") and the [Ideation flow](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/ideation-flow.html "Ideation flow").
