- Use **Global Settings** to update theme, home headers, and quick tips.
- Use **Project Settings** to update project-specific fields and README URL.
- Use **Create new entry** to add a new project directly from Admin.
- Enter a URL and click **Scan URL metadata** to auto-fill title, summary, domain, category, and icon when available.
- Click **Save project** to apply updates instantly.

- Use the **Theme** dropdown to switch between Sandstone, Ocean, Midnight, Forest, and Sunset.
- Use **Remove project** to delete the selected project from your local Admin data.
- Use **Reset project** or **Reset all** to restore defaults from `src/data/projects.ts`.

- URL scanning is best-effort and depends on site accessibility.
- Some sites block direct scanning; Admin falls back to a proxy scan path when possible.
- Always review scanned fields before saving.
+- Operations can trigger optional **Purge Cache** and **Trigger Deploy** webhooks.

- To keep Admin saves working on the internet, deploy with the Node API (`server.js`) and writable server storage for `data/admin-content.json`.
