Guides for every part of the product.

• Account security & ownership transfer — Login credentials, MFA, passkeys, anti-phishing codes, inactivity lock, email changes, and self-service account deletion — the full security surface for an Aden user account.
• Account, auth & MFA — Identity, sign-in, profile, security, and account lifecycle for every Aden user.
• AI configuration & personalization — Bring-your-own API keys for premium AI models, per-team agent guidance, and AI-powered email personalization for outreach campaigns.
• Albums — Group tracks into a release project that moves from idea to public, with cover art, collaborators, media, and Spotify import.
• Analytics & insights — Dashboards showing website traffic, streaming performance, and chart positions for teams, tracks, albums, and playlists — augmented by Songstats data and Google Trends signals for release planning.

• Artist profile — gear, skills & inspiration — Per-artist extras that enrich the team profile — a personal gear inventory, reusable skill/instruction snippets, curated inspiration sites, and interview management.
• Billing entities & bank reconciliation — Manage the legal entities you invoice, the bank accounts you receive payments on, and attach financial statements to tracks.
• Custom domains & branding — Lets a team attach their own domain name to their Aden profile or a specific release, configure email sending from that domain, buy new domains through the built-in registrar, and create personal colour themes for the editor.
• Calendar & time tracking — A subscribable iCal feed for team/track/album/camp events and a time-entry log for tracking hours spent on tracks, versions, milestones, and todos.
• Email & SMS campaigns — Send, schedule, and track promotional emails and SMS messages to contacts from a team, organisation, or the admin panel.
• Chat & AI assistant — Team messaging and an AI assistant in one panel — threads, @mentions, entity context, and a plan-gated Claude/NVIDIA model that can read and act on Aden data.
• Clips & downloads — Two complementary features — clips let team members pin external images to a track's moodboard as inspiration; downloads let artists publish gated or paid files to fans via a public landing page.
• Comments & feedback — Threaded comments on track versions, media assets, milestones, and todos — plus an in-app feedback widget that feeds an admin triage board.

• Contests — Gamified fan giveaways where entrants earn points by completing actions (follow on Spotify, save a track, share a link, etc.) — with a weighted random draw to pick winners at the end.
• Contracts & signatures — Create, send, and collect legally-binding e-signatures on collaboration contracts, organisation agreements, and event bookings — using reusable templates with merge-field interpolation.

• Growth — gifts, subscriptions & waitlist — Three independent growth levers — gifting a paid plan to another team, collecting fan email subscribers on public profiles, and managing platform waitlist / beta access.
• Guides & knowledge base — Editorial country-specific knowledge articles (tax info, collecting societies, contracts, …) scoped to a team, an organisation, or the public, with an admin approval gate for public articles.
• Imports, bulk upload & export — Bring tracks, albums, and collaborators into Aden from Spotify, SoundCloud, CSV, local audio files, or external uploaders; export financial data as CSV.
• Music integrations (Spotify, Songstats, team apps) — Connect Spotify for catalog import and metadata sync, Songstats for streaming analytics, and request a branded fan app — all managed from a team's integrations settings.
• Legal, IP & compliance documents — Versioned platform legal documents (terms of service, privacy policy, letter of intent), EUIPO trademark search, and identity document (KYC) submission — covering both Aden's own legal compliance and tools artists use to protect their IP.
• Messaging channels (iMessage, Telegram, WhatsApp) — Connect a team to iMessage, Telegram, or WhatsApp so the Aden chat-ops bot can answer questions about tracks, events, and todos from a phone.
• Mixes — DJ mixes — single uploaded audio files linked to events, with tracklists, external platform links, broadcast airings, collaborators, and multi-team credits.
• Network & connections map — A visual map of who you've worked with — collaborators, teams and tracks as a graph, plus a geographic connections map.

• Ambassadors, partners & testimonials — Three admin-managed content types that power the marketing surface — an ambassador loyalty programme rewarding active users, partner brand listings with subscriber benefits, and user testimonials shown on the landing page.
• Personal dashboard — The artist/team workspace home — a grid of your teams with track-status donuts, open tasks, members and recent activity.
• Plans, payments & affiliates — Subscription gating, Polar-powered billing, plan enforcement via Edge Config and rate limits, and an admin-curated affiliate product catalogue.
• Playlists — Ordered collections of tracks (internal and external) that a team can share publicly, sync to Spotify, and annotate with DJ metadata.
• Posts & social publishing — Create and schedule organic, sponsored, and inspiration posts for a team or org, then fan them out to connected social accounts (Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Threads, Facebook).
• Preferences & personalization — Per-user settings that control how Aden looks and behaves — theme, app options, keyboard shortcuts, sidebar layout, and saved filter views.

• Sharing & upload links — Send a track, album, mix, or playlist to anyone via a token-protected share link; collect files from collaborators via an upload link — no Aden account required on either end.
• Shop & Shopify integration — Lets a team connect a Polar or Shopify store and surface a product catalog on their public profile, with checkout handed off to the provider.
• Show planning & venue booking — Plan live shows and tours — day sheet, setlist, crew, booking inquiries, and venue lookup — from idea to confirmed event.

• Team content, documents & files — Per-team storage of documents, creative-content assets / inspiration, social profile links, and DAW project-file sync — everything attached to a team or track that isn't audio.
• Teams & membership — The workspace unit in Aden — a group of collaborators who share tracks, projects and settings, with role-based access and plan-based seat limits.
• Track add-ons — collections, references, documents, analytics & inspiration — Sub-features that extend a track beyond its audio: grouping tracks into collections (playlists, albums, mixes), attaching reference tracks and external inspirations, uploading documents, recording play analytics, and moving a track between teams.
• Tracks, versions & distribution — The central object in Aden — a piece of music moving from idea to released master, with versions, covers, collaborators, comments and distribution.
