The Astus manual explains, step by step, how to install the Astus assistant, display its modules in the administrator, and understand exactly what it does on a daily basis. One chapter covers what Astus does, and what it does not, to avoid any confusion about its real role on your Joomla site. Another chapter explains how to obtain and declare your Google keys, a necessary step for search statistics to appear correctly inside the assistant. The Astus manual also dedicates a chapter to what costs money and what is free, so every administrator knows exactly what using Astus implies for their site. This documentation is written for anyone discovering the assistant for the first time, or wanting to check a specific setting without reading everything again from the start. Screenshots illustrate each step, so administrators can follow along inside their own Joomla installation without guessing where a setting is located.
