What's New
This release is a major dashboard refresh β cleaner navigation, a redesigned sign-in experience, and a built-in version page where you can read full release notes. When Sentinel updates, you'll see a banner in the dashboard pointing you to what's new. Premium access is also more reliable if the bot ever leaves and rejoins your server.
π New Features
Redesigned dashboard home β New sidebar layout with quick stats (managed servers, total messages, recent activity), server search and sort, an onboarding banner for first-time setup, and rotating welcome messages so the home screen feels fresh each visit.
Guild settings sidebar β Each server now has a persistent sidebar for jumping between features, your Discord profile at a glance, and a floating save bar so you always know when changes are waiting to be saved.
Sign-in and loading experience β Revamped sign-in page with a cleaner layout, subtle animations, and a dedicated loading screen with status updates while your servers load.
Version page and changelog β A new Version page in the dashboard shows the current Sentinel version, past releases, and shareable links to individual release notes β including screenshots and images where we include them.
New-release notification β When a newer version of Sentinel is available, logged-in users see a banner with a link to read the full release notes. Once you've seen it, we won't show it again for that version.
Maintenance page β If the dashboard is briefly unavailable during an update, the maintenance page has been redesigned to match the new look β clearer messaging and a smoother experience on mobile.
Premium server styling β Server cards and guild headers show clearer Free vs π Premium indicators, with refined styling so plan status is obvious at a glance. (See the Premium server card in the dashboard home screenshot above.)
π Bug Fixes
Premium when the bot rejoins β If Sentinel is removed from your server and added back later, your Premium access (including complimentary grants) is restored correctly instead of resetting to Free unexpectedly.
Login and navigation β Improvements to how the dashboard handles your session after sign-in reduce cases where pages felt stale or out of date when switching between servers or opening release notes.
π§ Improvements
Premium status messaging β Simplified headlines across active, expiring soon, and expired Premium states so plan status is easier to read at a glance.
Support server link β Quick access to the Sentinel support server from the dashboard sidebar when you need help.
Mobile and tablet layout β Guild tabs, release notifications, setup modals, and feature cards received layout and styling updates for smaller screens.
π Summary
In 0.7.1, the Sentinel dashboard gets a full visual and navigation overhaul β sidebar layouts on the home page and guild settings, a modern sign-in flow, quick stats and server search, and a proper version and changelog experience with new-release alerts. Premium access now restores correctly when the bot rejoins a server. Log in to the dashboard to explore the refreshed layout.
