The control panel (accessed by clicking on the cog in the bottom-left corner) is where you can see and control most of Uptick's features to your liking. This guide will help you navigate the control panel and explain what the function of each section is. The visibility of some sections is dependent on your user permissions and available extensions so you may see sections in this guide that are not applicable to your use case.
