🔍 Understanding the Issue
When you click on a project from the Home dashboard, you may be taken directly to Site Audit rather than the project overview. This is a known navigation behaviour that can prevent you from quickly accessing content research tools, on-page editing features, and title tag management. This article explains how to reach the correct project overview so you can get back to your workflow.
🏠 How to Access Your Project Overview
Follow these steps to navigate to your project overview where you can research content and edit on-page elements such as title tags:
- In the left sidebar, click OTTO SEO.
- Select Overview from the expanded sub-menu. This takes you to the OTTO SEO Overview page, which serves as the central hub for your project.
- From the Overview page, locate your project and click on it to access project-level details, content tools, and on-page editing options.
If you need to access features such as crawl data, page exploration, or content velocity, use the additional sub-pages listed under OTTO SEO in the left sidebar:
- Crawl Monitoring — track crawl activity and coverage.
- Page Explorer — browse and analyse individual pages.
- Content Velocity — review content publishing trends.
- All Audits — view all audit results across your projects.
⚠️ Why Does Clicking a Project Go to Site Audit?
A bug was previously identified where clicking a project from the Home dashboard incorrectly redirected users to Site Audit instead of the project details page. This issue has been resolved in a recent update. If you are still experiencing this behaviour, try the following:
- Refresh your browser and clear your cache, then attempt to open the project again from the Home dashboard.
- Use the OTTO SEO → Overview path described above as a reliable alternative route to your project details.
- Ensure you are using an up-to-date browser version for the best experience.
🛠️ Editing On-Page Elements Like Title Tags
Once you are inside your project overview via OTTO SEO → Overview, you can access on-page editing tools including title tags, meta descriptions, and other content elements. Look for the on-page optimisation or content editing section within the project detail view to make changes directly.
💡 Quick Navigation Tips
- Bookmark the OTTO SEO Overview page in your browser for faster access in future sessions.
- Use the left sidebar as your primary navigation tool — it provides direct links to every major section without passing through the Home dashboard.
- If a project appears stuck in a loading state, refresh the page or navigate away and return via the sidebar.
