Workspace settings and navigation that stay out of your way
Proofsource keeps every setting in one full-screen Settings area with a grouped sidebar and deep links, and makes the rest of the app quick to move around: a sidebar with counts of what waits on you, a command palette, a notification bell and live updates in every open tab. Set your profile, theme, language, digests, API keys and AI app connections once.

Workspace settings in an AI visibility tool, explained
Workspace settings are where a team decides how a tool fits its day: who gets which emails, how the app looks, which systems it connects to and how people find their way. In AI visibility work this matters because the useful moments are scattered: a new competitor appears, a fix waits for approval, a digest lands. A tool that hides these behind menus gets checked less.
Proofsource puts every setting in one full-screen Settings area with grouped sections, a breadcrumb and links straight to a section, and opens Brand settings and Integrations from the same sidebar. Newer features sit in a clearly labeled Beta group.
Day to day, the left sidebar shows counts of fixes and integrations waiting on you, a command palette jumps to any screen or action by keyboard, and the notification bell collects events with an option to send them to Slack. When something changes on the server, open tabs refresh just that data.
How it works
One full-screen Settings with profile, appearance, notifications, API keys and AI app connections, plus a sidebar, command palette and notification bell.
Open Settings
From the account menu or the sidebar. Sections are grouped, with Back to workspace always visible.
Set profile and appearance
Name, avatar and primary domain; light, dark or system theme; app language.
Choose notifications
Pick your daily digest per brand, channels like Slack, and brand alert rules.
Connect tools
Create API keys, add webhooks and connect ChatGPT, Claude or your own agent over MCP.
Move fast
Use the command palette, sidebar counts and notification bell to get where work waits.

Every capability, live today
18 shipped capabilities behind workspace settings, each in the product now.
Settings shell and links
Full-screen settings with a grouped sidebar, Back to workspace, a breadcrumb and a shareable address for every section. Older plan and settings addresses still open the right section.
Profile
Edit name, avatar and primary domain, upload or remove a picture, with an initials fallback; your email is shown read-only.
Appearance
Choose light, dark or system theme and the app language; system follows your computer live.
Notifications
A per-person daily digest per brand, channel choices and brand alert settings.
Notification bell
An in-app feed of events, with a Slack channel setting.
API keys and developers
Create, list and revoke keys for the public API, with webhooks, the API reference and the rate limit on one Developers page.
Connect AI apps
Set up MCP so ChatGPT, Claude or your own AI agent can read Proofsource.
Account menu
Avatar menu with workspaces, settings, language, theme and sign out.
Sidebar navigation
A left menu of every screen, with icons and rows that fit your role. New sign-ups get a two-tab Work and Insights sidebar, with a switch back to the classic menu.
Tabs, breadcrumbs and links
Tab bars under pages, tabbed navigation inside the pages inventory, and breadcrumbs that name the brand and page. Links to content open in a new tab so your view stays put.
Command palette
Keyboard search that jumps to any visible screen or action.
Waiting counts and AI traffic rows
A sidebar count of fixes waiting for your OK, a badge counting integrations a fix is waiting on, and AI traffic screens that appear once Cloudflare logs are connected.
Live updates in open tabs
Open tabs refresh only the data the server says changed, and pages that depend on a feature wait or offer a retry while it loads instead of sending you elsewhere.
Dismissed stays dismissed
Notices you close for a brand stay closed.
Autopilot settings
Choose how deep autopilot goes, its monthly budget, and whether it ships fixes itself or waits for your approval.
Brand kit
Keep brand colors and a logo kit for each brand; your brand colors drive logos and tiles.
Logos everywhere
Brand marks, engine logos and a logo beside every named company, with a rotating AI engine icon on loading and brand lines.
Favorites and folders
Pin your favorites and organize items into folders.
Who it is for
A digest instead of a dashboard habit
Pick a daily digest per brand and get pulled in when something changes.
Keys and webhooks in one place
Create API keys, set webhooks and read the reference without leaving Settings.
Ask Proofsource from ChatGPT or Claude
Connect over MCP and query visibility, competitors and fixes from the assistant you already use.
Keyboard first
The command palette jumps to any screen or action in a few keystrokes.
Why it matters
One place for settings
No hunting through menus; every section has a link.
Work finds you
Counts, a bell and digests surface what waits on you.
Always current
Open tabs refresh what changed, without a reload.
Comfortable to use
Light or dark, your language, and logos that make lists easy to scan.
