How it fits together (high level)

  1. Admin utilities run under your secure API domain (HTTPS).
  2. Knowledge base and CSS are managed through uploads and stored server-side with backups.
  3. POD images are retained server-side for later review/export.
  4. External systems can connect via the API where permitted.

Day-to-day tasks (admins)

  • Update the internal knowledge base by uploading kb.json.
  • Apply brand changes via custom-overrides.css (use cache-busting when linking).
  • Review and export POD images from the gallery.
  • Use the private support hub for tickets and change requests.

Governance & good practice

  • **Security:** HTTPS only; strong secrets; least-privilege access; avoid placing personal or sensitive data into public channels.
  • **Backups:** include database, /kb/, /uploads/, and configuration files. Keep a small number of recent backups for quick restore.
  • **Change control:** record what changed, when, and by whom (e.g., upload logs); announce notable changes in the support hub.
  • **Privacy:** delete or anonymise data in line with policy; restrict who can access admin utilities.
