# Dashboard

> Manage your server from the web, without typing commands

The Aethor dashboard is a web app where you sign in with Discord and manage everything the bot does from your browser: suggestions, moderation, automations, safety tools and more. It talks to the same backend as the slash commands, so anything you change here takes effect in Discord straight away.

Open it at <a href={DASHBOARD_URL}>the dashboard</a>, or use the **Open dashboard** button in the site header.

## Signing in

Sign in with Discord and you land on **Your servers**: every server where you can manage Aethor. Pick one to start, or use **Add new server** to invite Aethor somewhere new.

Only servers where you have the right Discord permissions show up. Aethor checks your current roles on every action, so access always matches what you can do in Discord itself.

## The overview

Each server opens on an overview: headline numbers, the latest suggestions, and a live feed of recent moderation activity. It's the quickest way to see what's happening without scrolling through channels.

From the sidebar you can jump to any feature:

- **Suggestions** and the **Review queue** — browse, filter and resolve community ideas. See [Suggestions on the dashboard](/docs/dashboard-suggestions).
- **Autoresponders** and **Tags** — set up automatic replies and reusable snippets.
- **Tickets**, **Button roles**, **Thread support** — community tools members interact with.
- **Anti-invite** and **Auto-publish** — safety and announcement automation.
- **Audit log** — an authoritative record of every change, who made it, and whether it succeeded.

## Good to know

- Changes apply to Discord immediately; there is no separate "save and deploy" step.
- Every action is checked against your live Discord permissions before it runs.
- The dashboard never needs a bot token or any extra setup — signing in with Discord is enough.
