# Dashboard tour

A walk through the UOVA dashboard as it is today: the left panel and every item in it, the account menu, shortcuts, and how it looks on a phone.

The dashboard is where you manage your sites, domains, messages and account. Its navigation is a dark glass panel on the left. There is no top bar. The panel is open by default, and UOVA remembers on each device whether you collapsed it.

*Figure: The panel items and where each one leads.*

## The left panel

At the top of the panel are the UOVA mark (it leads to Websites), a notification bell and the collapse button. Under them is **Search** (Cmd+K on Mac, Ctrl+K on Windows), then these items.

| Item | Shortcut | Where it leads |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Websites** | `g` then `w` | Every site you own, live or draft. See [Your sites and projects](https://www.uova.com/help/account/websites-and-projects). |
| **Domains** | `g` then `d` | Connect, buy, verify, renew, transfer and remove domains. See [Domains](https://www.uova.com/help/build/domains). |
| **Analytics** | `g` then `a` | Visitors and activity across your live sites. |
| **Inbox** | `g` then `i` | Form messages, with an unread count. See [Inbox and form messages](https://www.uova.com/help/account/inbox). |
| **Contacts** | `g` then `c` | People who contacted you or subscribed. |
| **Media** | `g` then `m` | Your generated images and videos and your site files. See [Media library](https://www.uova.com/help/account/media-library). |
| **Templates** | `g` then `t` | A gallery of templates inside the dashboard. |
| **Studio** | - | Opens `/studio`, the separate creative product, in the same tab. See [Studio overview](https://www.uova.com/help/studio/overview). |

### Collapsed panel

Collapsing the panel leaves a narrow rail of icons. The same links work, hovering an icon shows its name and shortcut, and your credit balance moves into the account menu.

### Inside a site

When you open a site, the panel changes to that site's own sections, with a link back to all websites and a switcher for moving to another site. See [Your sites and projects](https://www.uova.com/help/account/websites-and-projects).

### The foot of the panel

- A **Credits** row that shows your balance and links to Billing & credits, where you can buy credits.
- The account menu, opened from your name and plan.
- **Help** (`/dashboard/help`).
- The **Account settings** gear (shortcut `g` then `s`).

### The account menu

It lists **Account settings**, **Billing & credits**, **Notifications**, **Media library**, **Templates**, **Help & guides**, **Studio** and **Log out**. Above the list it shows your plan, your credit balance as a bar against your monthly allowance, how long until the monthly credits reset, and a **Buy credits** button. There is no credit balance in a header, because there is no header.

## Pages inside the dashboard

| Page | What it holds |
| --- | --- |
| Analytics | An account-wide view across live sites; add `?site=` to the address to narrow it to one. Counts visitors (a private daily ID, no cookie), page views, visits, bounce, time on page and form submits, with cards for pages, sources, locations, devices, when people visit and goals. Includes live presence, comparison ranges, saved views and CSV export. It reads the newest 50,000 events in a range. Before you publish it shows "Publish a site to see who's visiting". |
| Templates | Click a template to preview it as Desktop, Tablet or Phone, then choose **Use this template** to create a project and open the editor. A design the editor cannot open shows **Generate yours in this style**. |
| Notifications | A feed of messages, subscribers, contact activity and domain alerts, kept for 45 days. Open it from the bell or the account menu. **Mark all as seen** is remembered on that device only. |
| Help | Set-up rows for each site, guide cards, a contact form and a shortcut list. |

## Shortcuts

- `Cmd+K` or `Ctrl+K` opens the command palette. `/` also opens its search.
- `?` shows the shortcut sheet.
- `Cmd+\` on a Mac or `Ctrl+\` on Windows collapses and expands the panel.
- Inside a site, `g` then `h` goes to its Home, and `g` then `a`, `i`, `c` or `s` open that site's own Analytics, Inbox, Contacts and settings.

> **The shortcut sheet lists the wrong key:** The sheet opened by ? shows Cmd+B for "Show or hide the sidebar". That key does nothing in the dashboard. Use Cmd+\ or Ctrl+\. Letter shortcuts do not fire while you type in a field or while a dialog is open.

## Phone and tablet

Below 768 px wide, a bar replaces the panel. It holds the UOVA mark, **Search**, the notification bell and **Open navigation**, which slides the full panel in from the right. On tablets, from 768 to 1023 px, the panel opens as an overlay on top of the page and closes when you navigate, press Esc or tap outside it.

## Sign-in and access

Signed-out visitors are sent to the sign-in page. If your account has two-factor sign-in, you are asked for a code before the dashboard opens. The dashboard is hidden from search engines and can be installed as an app.

> **Old page names:** There are no dashboard pages called Messages, Projects or Discover any more. Messages is now **Inbox**, Projects is **Websites**, and Discover is **Templates**. Old links to them are redirected.

## Limits

- The dashboard has no team or collaborator view: one account, one owner.
- Notifications keep 45 days of history.
- Analytics reads at most the newest 50,000 events in the range you pick.

**Where is the top menu with Websites, Domains and Analytics?**

There is no top bar. Those items are rows in the left panel.

**Where do I see my credits?**

In the **Credits** row at the foot of the panel and in the account menu. See [How credits work](https://www.uova.com/help/billing/credits).

**The panel shrank to icons. How do I get the labels back?**

Press Cmd+\ or Ctrl+\, or use the collapse button at the top of the panel. On a phone, use **Open navigation** in the bar at the top.
