 A preconfigured dashboard is a set of one or more panels that Scaleway sets up and updates for you to visualize the metrics and logs associated with your Scaleway products.
 
-## Receivers
+## Recording rules
 
-Receivers are hubs consisting of contact points. You can associate one or several alerts with one or more receivers. This allows you to diversify your alerts.
+Recording rules are custom queries that run automatically at regular intervals and save the results under a simple name. They let you precompute important or heavy queries ahead of time, so your dashboards and alerts load faster and use less computing power.
 
 ## Region
 
 A region is the geographical area in which your Cockpit data is stored. They are duplicated on all Availability Zones of the selected regions (Paris, Amsterdam, or Warsaw).
 
 You can decide in which region to enable the [alert manager](#alert-manager) and your [preconfigured alerts](#preconfigured-alerts). You can also choose the regions in which to create your [data types](#data-types), [data sources](#data-sources), and [tokens](#tokens).
 
+## Resolved notifications
+
+Resolved notifications are alerts your contacts receive to let them know that a previously triggered alert has been fixed or is no longer firing.
+
 ## Retention
 
 Retention or data retention refers to the duration for which the data (metrics, logs, and traces) pushed to Cockpit (by Scaleway products or yourself) is stored before being automatically deleted. Retention allows you to manage the lifecycle of your Scaleway and custom data by selecting storage periods that align with your needs.
