Dashboard tour

The admin dashboard is the private control room for one microfeed channel. Its left navigation stays consistent while the main panel changes for each task.

Main areas

Add item opens the publishing form. Use it for a post, external URL, image, audio, video, or document.

See all items lists everything in the channel. Sort the list, open a public page, or edit an existing item.

Edit channel manages the channel image, title, publisher, website, categories, language, and description.

API opens a dedicated four-page area for availability, API keys, an interactive browser explorer, and public API documentation formats.

Settings manages tracking URLs, subscribe methods, access control, media storage, feed ordering, favicon, public themes, and custom code. It does not contain the Edit channel form.

The channel control at the top of the sidebar links directly to the public website, RSS feed, and JSON feed. The top bar also contains theme and user menus. On small screens, the menu button opens the sidebar as a drawer.

Light and dark dashboard themes

The theme menu offers Light, Dark, and System. This changes only the admin, login, and password-setup experience; the public website uses the public theme chosen under Settings.

Every procedure in these docs names the control to use and the result to expect, so you can follow it without needing a screenshot.
