What Cleo Does On Her Own
The Autonomy screen: what Cleo may do without asking, what she always asks about, and how to pause everything.
Out of the box, Cleo asks before she touches your site. As you get used to her, you can let her get on with the routine jobs by herself. Autonomy is where you decide which.
Open Cleo → Autonomy. Only an administrator can change these settings.
The Rule That Never Changes
Your pages are never changed without your approval. Whatever you choose below, the words, images and layout of your pages and products always wait for you to say yes.
The Choices
| Job | What it covers | Choices | Starts on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your Content | The words, images and layout of your pages and products. | None: it Always Asks. | Always Asks |
| Behind The Scenes Fixes | Schema, image descriptions, redirects for missing pages, search visibility and image compression. Never the words or layout of a page. | Ask Me or Automatic | Ask Me |
| Search Listings | The titles and descriptions people see in Google. Your pages stay exactly as they are. | Ask Me or Automatic | Ask Me |
| Blog Post Upkeep | Published blog posts only, never your pages. Adding links between posts and fixing broken ones, and refreshing posts that are losing traffic (once a week at most per post). | Ask Me, Links Only or Links And Refreshes | Ask Me |
| New Blog Posts | Posts written from your Blog Calendar. | Save As Drafts or Publish On Schedule | Save As Drafts |
| Cleo's Notes | What Cleo learns about your business as she works. Only her notes change, never your website. | Ask Me or Automatic | Automatic |
Ask Me means Cleo suggests the change in your To Do list and waits. Automatic means she goes ahead, and the change appears in your History like everything else.
For some jobs, switching on shows Before You Turn This On, explaining exactly what it means. Press I Understand, Turn It On to confirm.
Pausing Everything
Pause Presstack stops all background work at once: scheduled posts, checks and fixes. It's useful during a launch, a handover or a holiday. Press Pause, and a banner reminds you that nothing runs until you press Resume.
Always True
Whatever you choose here, Presstack never deletes anything by itself, never changes your settings, menus or protected pages, and any change it makes to a page, post, product or image can be put back for 30 days.
