Set up

Getting started tour

A walk along every page, one setting at a time.

A new server meets a dashboard of twenty-three pages and no order. Getting started gives it one: three answers about your community, a checklist of what a server needs, and a tour that takes you to each page and lights one element at a time, with the explanation next to it.

The element stays usable while the tour explains it, so you set things as you go. Every sentence in the tour was checked against the code that does the work; when the code changes, the sentence changes with it.

Plan: Free, on every plan

Ninety-eight steps, twenty-three pages

The whole dashboard in about twenty-five minutes, in as many sittings as you like. Or one page’s tour on its own, any time.

A checklist that cannot lie

Every line is read from the settings themselves: the layout applied, verification on and posted, the logs, the welcome, leveling, tickets, the plan. A finished tour credits its line.

Nothing changes on its own

The tour explains; you press the buttons. Close it and the page is exactly as you left it.

How it works

The dashboard’s tour walks you through these same steps on the page itself, one setting at a time.

  1. 1

    Three answers

    What kind of community, how big, what matters most. The type picks the server blueprint for you.

  2. 2

    Start the walk-through

    The tour goes to the Server setup page and lights the first thing worth knowing. Next, Next, Done.

  3. 3

    Or pick a page

    Every page has its own tour on the hub, grouped like the sidebar. A page your plan does not include still gets its explanation.

What you control

Server type, size, goals
Stored per server; the type preselects the blueprint once, when none is chosen.
Checklist
Seven lines with Tour and Open buttons; the state is read live from the settings.
Resume
A reload during a tour picks it up at the same step.

Questions people ask

Who wrote the tour?

People, from the code. Every claim (a default, a limit, a channel name) was checked against the handler that does it before it was written, and a test fails when a step points at something the page no longer has.

Can members see it?

No. The tour is part of the dashboard, which is for people with Administrator or Manage Server on the Discord server.

It takes one afternoon. The captcha, the roles and the welcome are waiting for them.
