The web dashboard provides a powerful set of tools to remotely control the behavior and settings of your live mobile application. This allows you to make dynamic changes without needing to release a new version to the app stores.

### Navigating to App Configuration
15+
16+
1. After signing in, you will see a navigation menu on the left side of the screen.
17+
2. Click on the **"App Configuration"** item in the menu.
18+
19+
This will take you to the main configuration screen, which is organized into three tabs: **Feed**, **Advertisements**, and **General**.
20+
21+
### How to Modify Configuration Settings
22+
23+
The process for changing any setting is the same:
24+
25+
1. **Navigate to the Correct Tab:** Select the tab that contains the settings you wish to modify.
26+
2. **Change the Values:** Interact with the form fields (text inputs, dropdowns, switches) to set your desired new values.
27+
3. **Save Your Changes:** After making all your desired changes, click the **"Save Changes"** button in the bottom navigation bar. A confirmation dialog will appear. Click **"Confirm Save"** to apply your changes to the live application.
28+
29+
If you make a mistake, you can click the **"Discard Changes"** button to revert all fields to their last saved state.
30+
31+
### Available Settings
32+
33+
#### Feed Tab
34+
35+
- **User Content Limits:** Control how many items (topics, sources) a user can follow and how many headlines they can save. You can set these limits independently for Guest, Standard, and Premium users.
36+
- **Feed Actions:** Adjust how frequently in-feed prompts (like "Rate the App") are shown to Guest and Standard users.
37+
38+
#### Advertisements Tab
39+
40+
- **Ad Settings:** Fine-tune your monetization strategy by controlling ad frequency, placement, and when full-screen interstitial ads are shown. These can also be set independently for Guest, Standard, and Premium users.
41+
42+
#### General Tab
43+
44+
- **Maintenance Mode:** Enable this switch to put the mobile app into maintenance mode. Users will see a maintenance screen and will not be able to access the app's content.
45+
- **Force App Update:** Specify the minimum required version of your app. If a user is on an older version, you can force them to update from the app store. You can also set the iOS and Android app store URLs here.
