  - question: How do I change a public page on my board?
    answer: "Go to Website builder. Name the page you want to change, describe the result, review the preview, and Publish. Public pages are not edited from Settings. That includes About, the homepage, legal pages, contact, and any other visitor-facing page."
  - question: Where do I find Settings?
    answer: "In your Cavuno dashboard, click your board name at the top of the left sidebar, then choose Settings. The same menu has Profile for your own account details and, depending on your role, Invite and manage members and Billing."

The dashboard is where you manage everything about your job board. The left sidebar organizes your tools into two sections: your day-to-day application tools and your board configuration settings.

## Sidebar navigation

At the top of the sidebar, **Your job boards** lists every board you manage. Click a board name to switch to it, or click **Create a job board** to start a new one.

### Application

**Home** is your dashboard landing page. It shows current visitors (click the count for a live globe), traffic trends, first-touch channels, a country map, devices, and your most-viewed pages and jobs. For new boards, a **To-dos** card between the Companion prompt and the dashboard tracks the remaining setup steps — the list adapts to the answers you gave during onboarding, each step is a row you click to go and do it, and a step's circle spins while Cavuno's AI generates your theme, content, and backfill rules.

**Jobs** is where you manage all job postings. The list shows active, expired, pending, and draft jobs. From here you can add new jobs, edit existing ones, and moderate submissions if you've enabled [job moderation](/docs/managing-jobs/job-moderation).

**Companies** manages the organisation profiles that appear on your board. Each company gets a public profile page showing their logo, description, and open positions. Strong company profiles build trust with job seekers and give employers branded visibility. There is no separate Employers page — people who manage a company show up on that company's row.

**Job seekers** is the directory of people who created a profile on your board. It appears when [Job seeker profiles](/docs/your-job-board/candidate-profiles) is enabled. To see the applications for a job, open the job's menu in **Jobs** and choose **View applications**.

**Email subscribers** shows people who get job alert or matching emails, plus delivery stats. One row per email; **Preferences** is a count you can hover for labels such as **Job matches**. Use delivery, clicks, and applications to measure their contribution. This item only appears if job alerts are enabled for your board. See [Manage subscribers](/docs/job-alerts/manage-subscribers).

**Blog** expands into sub-items for Posts, Authors, and Tags. A blog builds topical authority that helps your board rank in search engines, and gives you content to share in newsletters and on social media.

Some sidebar items are conditional. **Job seekers** appears when Job seeker profiles is on. **Subscriptions** appears when you have any active subscriptions (employer or job-seeker access). Employer sign-up itself stays under **Settings → Features → Employer accounts**.

### Settings

To open **Settings**, click your board name at the top of the sidebar and choose **Settings**. The same menu has **Profile** for your own account details and, depending on your role, **Invite and manage members** and **Billing**.

**Settings** groups its tabs into sections. The **Job board** section covers General, Features, Job form, Sign-in methods, Domains, Redirects, Email domain, Products (pricing plans, Stripe, and coupons), and Advertising (AdSense and ad networks). The **Integrations** section covers Admin MCP, Board MCP, Analytics, Google Search Console, Indexing, and Zapier. The **Developer** section covers SDK, CLI, API keys, and Webhooks. The **Administration** section covers Members, Audit log, and Billing. Backfill is not under Settings — you'll find it under the **Grow** section of the sidebar (import rules and company management).

**Website builder** opens the AI website builder, where you describe the pages, design, navigation, and page metadata you want and review the result in a preview before publishing. Use it to edit About, the homepage, legal pages, and any other page visitors see.

**Settings → General** holds your **Board language**. On published AI website builder sites, **Secondary languages** adds more languages for your site's menus, buttons, headings, and About and legal pages. See [Board language and secondary languages](/docs/board-setup/board-language).

**Email editor** opens the transactional email editor, where you customize subjects, preview text, body content, tokens, and shared email footer settings.

**Members** under **Settings → Administration** lets you invite collaborators and [assign roles](/docs/team/manage-roles) that control what each person can access.

**Audit log** under **Settings → Administration** shows who changed jobs, members, and settings. See [Audit log](/docs/team/audit-log).

**Billing** (in Settings) shows your Cavuno subscription, invoices, and payment method.

## Dashboard metrics

The Home page opens with Companion. Type what you want to work on in the prompt box (“What do you want to work on next?”) and Companion picks it up in a new chat in the side panel; click a suggestion to send it straight away, or **Recents** to reopen an earlier chat. Above the prompt, the live line (“12 people on your board now”) counts distinct tracked sessions with activity in the previous five minutes. It is a session proxy, not a count of identifiable people: the same person can create multiple sessions across browsers or devices. Click it to open a globe of those sessions.

Below that, **Your overview** shows one card per metric for your selected date range, each with its total, the change from the previous period, and a chart of the current period against the previous one. Tables then break traffic down by channel, referrer, campaign, country, device, and entry page. If Search Console is connected, the **Google Search Console** card shows impressions, clicks, CTR, and average position (select one to chart it over time), and compares your Google search queries and pages with the previous period, with views for top, rising, and falling queries and queries in striking distance of the first page.

Use the date picker next to **Your overview** to filter by preset ranges (Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days) or set a custom range. The current-visitors count always uses the previous five minutes. The top content section highlights your most-viewed jobs and pages, which helps you understand what's attracting visitors.
