# Community Settings (Web Dashboard)

Everything in the community suite can be managed by talking to Nova — and now also from a **web control room**: [nova.zeroauthoritydao.com/community](https://nova.zeroauthoritydao.com/community). One page shows every feature for your server/group as a card: flip it on or off, edit every setting in a form, and watch live usage against your plan's budgets.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Chat and web edit the same settings.** A change you make on the web is what Nova sees in chat one message later, and vice versa — there are not two copies of your config, just two doors to the same one.
{% endhint %}

***

## Getting in

1. Go to [nova.zeroauthoritydao.com/community](https://nova.zeroauthoritydao.com/community) and **sign in** (Discord, Telegram, Google, or your Stacks wallet).

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Managing a community requires a real sign-in.** When you connect a Stacks wallet, Nova asks it to **sign a one-time message** — that signature is what proves the wallet is actually yours (an address alone is public information anyone could type in). If you skip the signature, the page opens in **read-only** mode: you can look, but saving settings, issuing activation codes, or linking a custom bot will ask you to sign in first. Reconnect your wallet and approve the signature to unlock editing — nothing to remember, no password.
{% endhint %}

2. Your communities appear automatically if you've ever set up a community feature in chat (e.g. *"@Nova enable Guardian"*) — the admin who set it up owns it on the web too.
3. Starting from zero? The page walks you through it: create a community, get a short-lived **activation code**, and paste `@Nova activate YOUR-CODE` in the server or group you admin. That in-chat step is how you prove you're an admin there — the website can't know that on its own.

Own several communities? A picker at the top switches between them. A community that spans **both Discord and Telegram** shows platform tabs inside each card — each platform keeps its own settings.

## What you'll see

### The header

* Your community's name and its **FREE / PRO** badge, with an upgrade button on Free.
* The servers/groups the community is linked to.
* **AI usage meters**: tokens used this month against your plan's monthly allowance, plus your 30-day AI cost.

### The feature cards

Cards are grouped the way the suite is organized:

| Group             | Cards                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Dashboard names vs. docs names.** The dashboard groups a few features under names these docs don't use: **Ascend** = Community Games' XP & leaderboards, **Play** = the games engine (trivia, giveaways, mod-run games), **Ops** = the moderation & drafting tools (AI drafts, language moderation, scheduled messages, X drafts), and **Knowledge** = the knowledge base documented on the [Pulse page](/nova-bot/nova-ai-agent/community/nova-pulse.md).
{% endhint %}

Expand any card to get:

* **On/off switch** — enabling runs the same setup the chat flow does (Guardian arms auto-moderation by default, Pulse asks for a mod channel, Games/Snacks ask for a target channel).
* **Every setting as a form field** — hours and timezones, cadences, thresholds, channels, toggles, custom instructions. Fields are validated the same way Nova validates them in chat.
* **PRO fields** — marked with a `PRO` chip. On the Free tier they're locked with an upgrade pointer instead of failing silently.
* **Free vs Community PRO caps** — small chips showing each budget on both tiers (e.g. *AI scans/day: 20 free · 500 PRO*).
* **Live usage bars** — today's/this week's spend against the budget: Guardian AI scans, language-mod AI checks, AI games, Pulse question scans & auto-answers, GM web searches, Knowledge imports, Ops drafts, and the Nova Chat pool (daily + monthly).

**Some cards are informational.** Nova Chat and catch-up work automatically on PRO (nothing to configure), Ascend's channels live on the Play card (shared settings), and **Knowledge is content, not settings** — you feed it in chat (*"@Nova add this to the knowledge base"*) and the card shows your caps and import budget.

### Moderator pings & plan management

Two more cards live here:

* **Moderator Alerts** — choose who gets @pinged when a Guardian scam, language violation, or unanswered question fires.
* **Community plan** — where your paid plan is active, activation codes for the platform you haven't covered yet, and **Unlink** to move the plan to a different server/group.
