**General Settings** contains settings used across the site. The available tabs depend on your site's features and your role. Review site-wide changes carefully, because they can affect many pages at once.

## Pages

The **Pages** tab chooses the homepage.

| Field        | What it does                                              | Tip                                                              |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Homepage** | Chooses the page visitors see at the site's main address. | Choose a published page and check the main address after saving. |

1. Open **General Settings** and choose **Pages**.
2. In **Homepage**, select the published page you want visitors to see first.
3. Choose **Save**, then open your website's main address and check the result.

The selected page's own address normally sends visitors to the main address. Keep that page published until you choose a replacement homepage.

## Emails

> [!NOTE]
> This feature is optional. If you don't see **Emails** in **General Settings**, your site may not use it or your role may not have access. Ask your agency if you'd like to use it.

This tab sets default branding and sender details for outgoing site emails. It does not choose which form notifications to send; those belong to each [form](https://docs.systhema.app/sk/editor-guide/forms/email-notifications.md).

| Field                  | What it does                                       | Tip                                                              |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Email From Name**    | Sets the sender name shown in inboxes.             | Use a recognizable organization name.                            |
| **Email From Address** | Sets the default sending address.                  | Your agency must verify that the email service can send from it. |
| **Reply To Address**   | Sets where replies go.                             | Use a monitored inbox.                                           |
| **Email Logo**         | Adds your logo to the site's branded email layout. | Choose a clear image that works at email size.                   |

A form may override these defaults. Changing the address here alone does not verify it with the email provider.

Where **Send test email** is available, save any sender changes first, enter an address you control in **Send a test email to**, and send a test. Check the inbox and spam folder. This checks the saved sender defaults; also test each form notification through its public form.

## Troubleshoot

**Revalidate all pages** refreshes the site's saved page copies.

1. Open **General Settings** and choose **Troubleshoot**.
2. Choose **Revalidate all pages**, then **Click again to confirm**.
3. Wait for the success message and the number of pages cleared. Reload the affected public page.

There is no content change to save for this action.

Use it when a published change remains missing. See [cache and performance](https://docs.systhema.app/sk/editor-guide/cache-and-performance.md) for the checks to do first and separate Cloudflare tools.

## Other tabs

- **Posts** controls blog addresses, bylines, sharing and related articles: [blog settings](https://docs.systhema.app/sk/editor-guide/posts.md).
- **SEO** controls default titles, descriptions and social images: [site-wide SEO](https://docs.systhema.app/sk/editor-guide/seo.md).
- **Cookie Consent** controls banner wording, policy links and cookie entries: [cookie consent](https://docs.systhema.app/sk/editor-guide/cookie-consent.md).

## Header and Footer

**Header** and **Footer** are separate editors in the sidebar. They hold site-wide navigation and content such as menus, links and footer text. To add a menu link, follow [navigation](https://docs.systhema.app/sk/editor-guide/navigation.md).

Changing **Homepage** does not automatically add a menu link. Likewise, creating a page does not guarantee that it appears in navigation.

## Check afterwards

Check the main public address after a homepage change, a test email after an email change, and the affected page after a refresh. For header or footer changes, check several pages and each language your site uses.
