Use povsod when you want to express that something is present or happens in every location. It can refer to physical places or more abstract concepts.
A common mistake is confusing povsod with vse (all/everything). While related, povsod specifically means 'everywhere' or 'in all places', whereas vse is a more general term for 'all' or 'everything'. For example, you wouldn't say *'vse je lepo'* to mean 'everything is beautiful everywhere', you would say 'povsod je lepo' for 'it's beautiful everywhere'.
