Configuration

The Configuration panel is where you manage all platform settings. Every setting lives in a collapsible card that can be deep-linked from elsewhere in the dashboard.

Configuration Cards

• UI Preferences — display name, theme (light/dark), AI panel defaults
• Updates — DefenseClaw rules, Clawkeeper, OpenClaw version checking
• OpenClaw Routing — provider routing status (ROUTED vs DIRECT)
• Shield Settings — shield block mode toggle (OBSERVE/BLOCK), routing table
• Break-Glass Mode — emergency bypass activation (see Break-Glass)
• Data Retention — configure how long each data category is kept
• Model Providers — manage LLM provider connections (15 provider types)
• OpenClaw Gateway Instances — manage gateway connections and tokens
• Session Settings — session timeout, concurrent session limits (RBAC)
• Operator Management — create, edit, deactivate operators (RBAC, admin only)
• API Keys — create, list, and revoke API keys for the public API

Deep Linking

When you arrive at Configuration via a deep link (e.g., from the Welcome Wizard), the target card auto-expands and scrolls into view. This is used throughout the dashboard to provide direct access to specific settings.
