Settings is the composing room. It is where you write the spec the press uses for each paper. Settings page showing the masthead, section tabs, and the first desk controls The page is split into five sections:

Drafts and publishing

Editing a field changes the draft in your browser. The press does not use that draft until you publish it. When the save bar appears:
  • Publish changes saves the spec and syncs it to the pressroom.
  • Discard returns the page to the last saved spec.
If the paper service is offline, the app still saves your settings locally and tells you that schedule sync is pending. You can retry from the warning toast.

Validation

Settings has guardrails so a bad spec does not reach the press. Examples:
  • the masthead cannot be blank
  • desk names must be unique
  • feed URLs must start with http:// or https://
  • a plan cannot publish more desks than it includes
  • weather latitude and longitude must be real coordinates
When validation fails, the toast names the section that needs attention.
