# The DApp Management Page

Every app (DApp) you install gets its own page in the AVADO Admin. That page is where you set the app up, check on it, restart it, and, when needed, reset or remove it.

To open an app's page, do one of these:

* Go to **My DApps** and click **Manage** next to the app.
* Click the app's card under **Running on your AVADO** on Home.
* Press **⌘K** (Mac) or **Ctrl+K** (Windows, Linux) and type the app's name.

The Setup tab shows the app's own screen.</p></figcaption></figure>

## The header

At the top of the page you see the app's name, a short description and its status (for example **Running** or **Needs setup**). In Advanced mode you also see the AVADO package version.

On the right are the main buttons:

* **Open:** opens the app's own screen, if it has one.
* **Restart:** restarts the app. It is interrupted for a few seconds and keeps all its data.
* **⋯ (More actions):** **Stop** (or **Start**), **Reset** and **Remove**. See [Controls](#controls) below for what each one does. System (core) packages don't have these.

## The tabs

What you see on an app page depends on the mode you use. See [Simple and Advanced mode](/your-avado/finding-your-way-around/simple-and-advanced-mode.md).

| Tab          | Shown in            | What it's for                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

## Overview

### Problems for this app

If the health checks found a problem with this app, it is listed at the top of the Overview tab with a fix button, just like on Home. See [Health checks explained](/your-avado/finding-your-way-around/health-checks-explained.md).

### Controls

* **Pause** (or **Start**): stops the app for now, or starts it again. For an execution or consensus client the chain data is kept. After you start it again it needs a short time to catch up. While a client is paused, your validators miss attestations. **Pausing is not a safe way to move validator keys:** an update of the app, or a restart of your AVADO, can start it again. To move keys to another client or machine, remove them first. See [Switching from Prysm to Teku, etc.](/quick-help/switching-from-prysm-to-teku-etc..md).
* **Restart:** restarts the app. This may help if the app has a problem. Its data is kept.
* **Reset:** returns the app to its factory settings. **All the app's data is deleted.** For an execution or consensus client this means a full re-sync.
* **Remove:** deletes the app permanently. You have to confirm by clicking **Remove package**. Afterwards, run **Disk cleanup** in **System** (Advanced mode) to free the space it used. See [The Home Page and Menus](/your-avado/finding-your-way-around/the-home-page-and-menus.md#disk-cleanup).

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Be careful with Reset and Remove on a consensus client (Teku, Prysm, Nimbus).** Its data includes your **validator keys** and **slashing protection**. The Admin warns you about this before it resets a consensus client. Back up your keys first, and only reset if AVADO support asked you to. After a reset you have to import your keys again from your keystore files.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Need to re-sync a client, or free disk space?** Resetting an **execution client** (Geth, Nethermind) is safe for your keys: no validator keys are stored in an execution client. It deletes the chain data, and the client syncs again from scratch, which takes several hours to a few days. Your validators cannot attest until it is synced again. Never reset a consensus client yourself to fix a sync or disk problem; contact support first.
{% endhint %}

### Details

Below the controls you find technical details: the app's status and version, links, the network **Ports** it uses (useful when you [open ports on your router](/quick-help/opening-network-ports.md)) and its data **Volumes**.

## Logs (Advanced mode)

The Logs tab shows what the app is doing. Logs are very useful while a client syncs, and when something goes wrong. When an app keeps restarting, the reason is almost always in the last lines before the restart.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tips for using the logs**

* By default you see the last 200 lines. Increase **Lines** to see further back.
* Type in **Search** to show only the lines that contain that text.
* Switch on **Display timestamps** to see when each line was written, and **Auto-refresh logs** to keep the view up to date.
  {% endhint %}

## Settings (Advanced mode)

The Settings tab lists the app's **Environment variables**. Sometimes a guide or AVADO support asks you to change one of them, for example to pass an extra option to a client.

1. Switch to **Advanced** mode at the bottom of the sidebar.
2. Open the app and click the **Settings** tab.
3. Change the value of the variable you were asked to change.
4. Click **Update environment variables**. The app restarts with the new setting.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only change settings when a guide or AVADO support tells you to. A wrong value can stop the app from starting. If an app keeps restarting after you changed a setting, change it back.
{% endhint %}

## Files (Advanced mode)

The Files tab has a **File manager** to upload a file to the app or download a file from it. You only need this in special cases, usually when support asks for it.
