Settings overview¶
Relay separates personal preferences from administrator-only instance settings. Use Search settings at the top of the settings window to find a control and jump to its section.
This overview includes current master controls. Linked guides identify additions after the published 0.11.2 release; they may not appear on a stable-channel server.

Administration¶
Administrator settings are grouped by operational responsibility:
- Server and users
- Storage and retention
- Media and files
- Authentication
- Integrations and branding
- Network gateways
- Public mode
For file settings and precedence, use the configuration reference. For terminal operations use the CLI reference; for deployment see HTTPS, backups and upgrades, and troubleshooting. On mobile, tap the current section name to open navigation from the right.
