Global Site Settings and Management
Overview
Global site settings are common data that affect your entire website, such as your site name, logo, contact information, social media links, default currency, and website content language. These settings are not the same as the text content on each page; once set, they can be reused in headers, footers, buttons, and other modules.
Kanorio divides these settings into two entry points: "Overview" and "Editor." This article explains where to make changes and which settings affect your live website.
Understanding the Two Setting Entrances
"Site Management" in Overview
Open general settings from "Site Management" in "Overview" to modify your site name, brand logo, browser tab icon, and analytics reporting timezone. The data here is geared towards site identification and management information.
"Settings" in the Editor
Open "Settings" in the editor to adjust your site's appearance, global buttons, social media links, contact information, website content language, and currency. The data here is referenced by headers, footers, and modules.
Managing Your Site Name, Logo, and Site Icon
1. Access "Site Management"
Access "Site Management". The "General" tab will be displayed by default.
2. Set Your Site Name and Logo
The site name identifies your website. The logo is the image or icon representing your brand, used in components like the header and footer. Before changing, ensure your new logo is clearly visible on both light and dark backgrounds.
3. Set Your Site Icon
The site icon (Favicon) is the small graphic next to your browser tab and bookmarks. You can use the version automatically generated by the system from your logo or upload your own. After selecting automatic generation, the system will create an icon using your current logo; after changing the logo, please re-check the Favicon preview.
4. Save and Confirm Live Results
After completing the name, logo, or favicon settings in "Site Management" → "General", click "Save." This site identification data is saved individually. After saving, refresh with your live URL to confirm that the tab title, logo, and site icon are correct.
Reporting Timezone
The same "General" tab also allows you to set the reporting timezone. A timezone determines the local time for "when a day starts and ends," such as Pacific Standard Time. It affects how traffic and analytics reports are aggregated by date but does not change the time visitors see when browsing your site, nor does it automatically rewrite event or appointment content.
Setting Shared Content in the Editor
Custom Buttons
Custom buttons are reusable calls to action (CTAs). In simple terms, they are buttons that prompt visitors to take the next step, such as "Book Now," "View Portfolio," or "Contact Us."
After creating a button in "Settings" → "Content", you can select it in your header or any module that supports buttons. This prevents inconsistencies from entering the same link in multiple places.
Social Media Links and Contact Information
You can centrally manage your social media links, address, phone number, email, and business hours in "Settings" → "Content". The footer allows you to choose which items to display, so fill in your information here first, then adjust the display in "Header & Footer."
Please use the full format including the country code for phone numbers. The country code is the region identifier at the beginning of a phone number, such as +1 for the United States. This helps visitors from different countries or regions dial correctly.
Website Content Language and Currency
Website Content Language
Select your website content language in "Settings" → "Advanced". This affects the language used for AI-generated content and the font options the system prioritizes.
Changing the content language does not automatically translate existing pages, nor does it change the display language of your backend interface. After changing, please review the content, navigation text, and text within images page by page.
Currency
Currency is the unit of money used for displaying amounts on your website, such as New Taiwan Dollar (TWD) or US Dollar (USD). After selecting it in "Settings" → "Advanced", check if your store or pricing-related content still accurately reflects your actual selling prices.
AI Memory and Image ALT Auto-Completion
In "Settings" → "Advanced", you can view your site's AI memory summary and enable automatic completion for image ALT text. ALT text is a descriptive alternative text for an image, providing context when an image cannot be displayed and helping screen readers and search engines understand the image.
Auto-completion serves as a safety net, but for important images, it's still recommended to write specific descriptions manually, such as "White ceramic display shelf in a Taipei studio," rather than just "image" or keyword stuffing.
The AI memory summary is a set of brand, audience, and tone cues automatically compiled by the system based on your existing website content, for reference when AI assists in generating content later. It is read-only content and does not currently support manual editing or refreshing; if the summary is inaccurate, please correct the source information on your website before continuing to use AI, allowing the system to recompile it during subsequent operations. It is not website copy visible to visitors, nor is it a permanent instruction you enter directly on this screen.

What Settings Aren't Here?
To avoid making changes in the wrong place, refer to the corresponding documentation for your specific goal:
| What do you want to do? | Correct Location |
|---|---|
| Modify fonts, colors, spacing, or border radius | "Settings" → "Design" and Brand Visuals and Style Settings |
| Modify a page's title, URL, search summary, or SEO (Search Engine Optimization) | "Pages" and Managing Your Site Pages |
| Set up Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or tracking codes | "Tracking Settings" |
| Purchase, connect, or change a domain | Go Live & Domains |
| Export data, unpublish, or delete your site | "Site Management" → "Advanced"; read the relevant guide first |
A website description is not a single global field here. If you are referring to the descriptive text in Google search results, please modify it in the SEO settings for each page, as different pages should have different search summaries.
Data Export and Website Lifecycle
You can prepare your website data for export in "Site Management" → "Advanced". This is useful for keeping a backup before making major changes. Unpublishing, republishing, archiving, and restoring your site are lifecycle operations that affect visitor access. Please read "Unpublishing or Deleting Your Site" before proceeding.
Tips
- Create shared buttons and contact information before designing your header and footer to reduce repetitive input.
- Before changing your website content language, record your existing copy and schedule a page-by-page review.
- After changing your logo, favicon, or brand colors, use desktop and mobile previews to confirm visibility.
- Before changing your reporting timezone, confirm the primary location your team uses for viewing data to avoid inconsistencies in date aggregation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How settings are saved varies by function. After saving your site name, logo, or favicon in "Site Management", they will update individually. Content and appearance adjustments in the editor will initially be drafts and typically require a publishing process to update the live version. After completion, please use the live URL or preview to confirm the results.
No. It affects future AI output and font suggestions but does not automatically translate existing pages or text within images.
A custom button is reusable button data for the entire site. A header button is placing one of those buttons at the very top of your site. You can also have other modules use the same custom button.
Yes. After disabling automatic generation, you can upload a custom site icon. The logo does not need to be changed simultaneously.
Do not assume automatic conversion. After changing, check prices for products, plans, and pages one by one to ensure the displayed amount matches your actual received payment.
No. It only affects which local time is used to segment dates in data reports. Event times, business hours, form submission times, and appointment times still need to be set in their respective content or external tools.
