Managing Configuration

Use Project Config to manage Freeform settings across environments. Defaults in the reference pages describe a new installation; settings already saved on your site may differ.

Craft's allowAdminChanges setting makes most configuration screens read-only. The individual references explain exceptions for integrations, PDF templates, statuses, and log viewers.

For access control and environment checks, see Permissions and Diagnostics.
