When To Use
- You want to tune defaults, make backups, change feature visibility, or manage support and security options.
Step-By-Step Guide
Review the preferences that affect behavior
These settings change how the app feels in day-to-day use.
Open Settings from the sidebar or mobile menu.
- You should see preference, backup, support, and account-related sections.
Review weight units, weaning timing, notification behavior, and feature help settings.
- These settings affect downstream workflows, so change them carefully and on purpose.
- Your app defaults now better match the way you actually work.
Create a backup before risky changes
Backups matter most right before a cleanup, import, or large adjustment, not after.
Find the backup/export area in Settings and create a backup file.
- You should receive a downloadable backup file or confirmation that the backup completed.
Store the file somewhere you can find later if you need to restore data.
- A backup only helps if you can still locate it later.
- You now have a recovery point before making larger changes.
You're Done When
- Your main preferences are saved.
- You know where the backup tools are and have used them before major changes.
Common Mistakes
- Waiting until after a big cleanup to think about backups.
- Hiding a feature and then assuming the app removed the underlying data.
If Something Still Looks Wrong
Why is a feature hidden?
Check your breeder preset and any custom UX visibility settings first. A hidden navigation item usually reflects configuration, not lost data.
FAQ
Does resetting settings delete my herd data?
Resetting UI settings is designed to restore defaults without wiping your core rabbitry records, but a full factory reset is different and destructive.
Where do I change Sales or Harvest tab layouts?
Use Settings → Appearance → Workspace navigation, or the Layout shortcut beside those workspaces. See the workspace navigation layouts guide for details.
When To Contact Support
- Settings refuse to save or revert unexpectedly after refresh.
- Backup or restore actions fail even with a normal-looking file and workflow.
