# Developer Mode

Developer mode (also called debug mode) unlocks advanced configuration tools, technical menus, and diagnostic features within Knowlix. Use developer mode when configuring technical settings, inspecting field-level data, or troubleshooting system behavior.

> **Caution:** Developer mode exposes advanced settings that can affect system stability and data integrity. Only use developer tools if you understand the implications of the changes being made.

## Activating Developer Mode

**From Settings:**

Navigate to **Settings**, scroll to the **Developer Tools** section, and click **Activate the developer mode**.

**From URL:**

Add `?debug=1` to the end of any page URL to activate developer mode. Use `?debug=0` to deactivate.

**Variants:**

* `?debug=assets` - Activates with frontend asset debugging for JavaScript troubleshooting
* `?debug=tests` - Activates with test tour capabilities for automated testing

**Keyboard shortcut:**

Press `Ctrl+K` (Windows) or `Cmd+K` (Mac) to open the command palette, then type `debug` to toggle mode.

* View structure and field definitions
