# Dashboard tour A quick walk through every area of the QKAP dashboard, and how to switch between your pages. Source: https://qkap.app/docs/dashboard-tour The dashboard is where you build and run your page. This tour shows what lives where, so you always know which screen to open. ## Finding your way around On a computer, the sidebar on the left lists **Overview**, **Posts**, **Links**, **Design**, **Store**, **Inbox**, **Audience** and **Analytics**. An area with several screens shows them as tabs at the top of the page, like **Store › Orders**. Rarely used areas sit under **More** near the bottom of the sidebar; tap **More** to unfold it, and the dashboard remembers this in your browser. At the very bottom are **AI connections**, **Settings**, the **Dark mode** switch and your account menu. To make room, collapse the sidebar to icons with the button next to the logo, or press **⌘B** (Mac) or **Ctrl+B** (Windows). Point at an icon to see its name. On a phone, the bottom bar has **Overview**, **Posts**, **Design** and **Inbox** (team members who can't see the inbox get **Analytics** instead), and the **More** tab opens everything else, including **Settings**. To jump anywhere fast, press **⌘K** (Mac) or **Ctrl+K** (Windows), tap **Search…** under the page switcher, or tap the search icon in the phone top bar. Type what you're after, like "orders", "theme", "upi" or "add link", and press Enter. At the top of the dashboard, the **Creator / Fan** switch takes you to your fan account and back. See [Creator mode and fan mode](https://qkap.app/docs/creator-and-fan-mode). If you work on someone else's page as a team member, you only see the areas your role allows. See [Team and roles](https://qkap.app/docs/team-and-roles). ### Light and dark mode Flip the **Dark mode** switch at the bottom of the sidebar. When the sidebar is collapsed, it's the moon icon (the sun icon while dark mode is on). To follow your device's setting instead, open your account menu and choose **System** next to **Theme**. On a phone, the theme choice is in **More** and in the account menu. Your choice is saved in this browser. ## Overview **Dashboard → Overview** is your home screen. It shows: - **Your link in bio**, with **Copy your link** and a **QR code** you can save. - A **Set up your page** checklist until you've finished the basics: profile photo, profile, socials, first post, products, 3 live posts, a custom link and sharing your link. - A card for each area with its most-used screens, then recent posts, scheduled posts, your top products and a summary of your numbers. ## Posts - **Posts**: your numbered, shoppable posts. Create, edit, schedule, pin, archive and bulk import. See [Numbered posts](https://qkap.app/docs/numbered-posts). - **Collections**: story-style circles that group posts. See [Collections](https://qkap.app/docs/collections). - **Series**: multi-part reel series.

See [Import your page](https://qkap.app/docs/import-your-page). ## Design - **Editor**: your page's look and its sections in one place. The left column lists your sections (drag to reorder, **Add section** for new blocks), the middle shows a live preview, and the right column holds the settings: **Theme settings** (templates, colours, fonts, buttons and more) when nothing is selected. See [Themes and design](https://qkap.app/docs/themes-and-design) and [Page layout](https://qkap.app/docs/page-layout). - **Profile**: photo, name, bio, social and contact links. See [Profile and bio](https://qkap.app/docs/profile-and-bio). ## Store - **Products**: your store items. See [Store overview](https://qkap.app/docs/store-overview). - **Orders**: payments to confirm and orders to handle. A badge shows how many are waiting on you. See [Orders and customers](https://qkap.app/docs/orders-and-customers). - **Memberships**: paid memberships. See [Memberships](https://qkap.app/docs/memberships). - **Payments**: your UPI ID and payment links. See [UPI and payment links](https://qkap.app/docs/upi-and-payment-links). - **Bookings**, **Customers**, **Reviews**, **Discounts** and **Emails**: your bookings, buyers, product reviews, discount codes and emails to customers. - **Reports**: how your store is doing. ## Inbox Messages and brand deal requests from followers. A badge shows unread conversations. See [Inbox](https://qkap.app/docs/inbox). ## Audience - **Community**: free and paid groups where you post updates, links and photos for your fans. See [Community groups](https://qkap.app/docs/community-groups). - **Subscribers**: followers who signed up for your deal alerts (Premium). - **Form responses**: what visitors sent through the forms on your page. - **Auto-DM**: automatic Instagram DMs. It shows a **Soon** badge if it isn't available to you yet. See [Auto-DM](https://qkap.app/docs/auto-dm). ## Analytics - **Analytics**: views, clicks and where visitors come from. Free shows the last 7 days. See [Analytics](https://qkap.app/docs/analytics). - **Tracking pixels**: your Meta, Google and TikTok pixels for measuring ads. See [Tracking pixels](https://qkap.app/docs/tracking-pixels). ## AI connections and Settings - **AI connections**: connect Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant to your page, and manage its access and API keys. It has its own item at the bottom of the sidebar and is also a tab in **Settings**. See [Build your page with AI](https://qkap.app/docs/ai-connections). - **Settings**: username, email, password, timezone and security. Tabs at the top link **Account**, **Security**, **AI connections**, **Billing**, **Team** and **Pages**. - **Billing**: your plan and invoices. See [Billing and invoices](https://qkap.app/docs/billing-and-invoices). - **Team**: invite people and set roles. - **Pages**: create, switch, publish and delete pages (more below). ## More - **Cafe & restaurant**: menu, location and hours, and order and review buttons. See [Restaurant setup](https://qkap.app/docs/restaurant-setup). - **Agency** or **Agency accounts**: the agency hub if you run or work for one, or a way to contact QKAP about an agency account. See [Agencies](https://qkap.app/docs/agencies). ## Running more than one page Each page has its own link, profile, posts, look and analytics. Free accounts have 1 page. [Premium](https://qkap.app/pricing) allows up to 5. ### Create a page 1. Go to **Dashboard → Pages** and tap **New page**. 2. Pick a **Username** and a **Page name**. 3. Leave **Start with the same look as @yourname** ticked to copy the theme, colours, font and layout. Posts and products aren't copied. 4. Tap **Create page**. ### Switch pages Use the page switcher at the top of the dashboard and choose **Switch page**, or tap **Switch to** next to a page in **Dashboard → Pages**. You stay on the same section, so switching from Posts lands you in the other page's Posts. Team and client pages you can manage show up in the switcher too. ### Publish, unpublish or delete In **Dashboard → Pages**, use the switch next to a page to publish or unpublish it. **Delete** erases a page with its posts, products, collections, links and analytics for good. Your main page can't be deleted from here. > If you drop back to Free with extra pages, they're paused: hidden from followers, nothing deleted. Premium brings them back. ## Common questions ### Why can't I see some areas? You're probably working on a page as a team member. Your role decides which areas you see. Ask the page owner to change your role. ### Will switching pages lose my changes? If you have unsaved changes, QKAP asks before switching. Save first to keep them. ### Where do I change my username? In **Dashboard → Settings**.
