Overview

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.

​
Developer Tools

When developer mode is active, a bug icon appears in the top navigation. Clicking it opens the developer tools menu with options to inspect and modify:
  • View structure and field definitions
  • Custom filters and search configurations
  • Available actions on current records
Technical menu: The Settings application gains a Technical menu when developer mode is active. This menu provides access to:
  • Database structure settings
  • Security groups and access rights
  • Server actions and automated rules
  • Email templates and sequences

​
Deactivating

Click Deactivate the developer mode in Settings, or append ?debug=0 to the URL to return to standard mode.
