At the bottom of the settings menu, you will find both “Data” & “Schema” information tables that houses your entire project information. You can use these as a fallback plan to make any changes you require by code, whenever you encouter issues on the platform.


Data: Project data itself, such as the code of the component or page

Schema: Project metadata, such as how the project is presented (labeled/organised) in platform. This could be the title & category of a component.
