What is the Setup Progress widget and how do I dismiss it?

The Setup Progress widget is a small panel that appears in the bottom-right corner of your panel dashboard. It tracks 10 setup tasks to help you get your first server fully configured.

The 10 tasks are: pick your first server, start the server, open the console and send a command, upload an addon or file, set your Steam Web API token, invite a teammate as a subuser, set up billing details, customise your server settings, schedule automatic backups, and read the Help docs or join the Discord.

Some tasks complete automatically. "Pick your first server" is marked done as soon as you have a server. "Start your server" is marked done when your server reaches running status. For the others, use the action buttons on each item: either a direct link to the relevant panel page, a "Show me how" button that launches a guided tour step, or an "I did this" button for tasks where no automatic check is possible.

The widget can be collapsed. Click the header bar to collapse it to just the progress bar and step count. The collapsed state is saved in your browser, so it stays collapsed across page loads.

To dismiss the widget entirely, click the X button in the top-right corner of the widget. Dismiss is permanent per account; the widget will not reappear after you close it, even in a different browser.

Once all 10 tasks are done, the widget shows a short completion message with a Dismiss button. At that point the X button is no longer shown, so the only way to close it is through the completion screen.
