Settings directory
Find the screen that owns a setting and the guide that explains what changing it does.
Use the search field inside Cantinarr’s Settings to jump to a control. Results show the owning screen and section, then highlight the control when you open it. Results are filtered by your role, permissions, and server capabilities.
The complete searchable-settings catalog is built directly from the app’s settings registry. The task map below explains where to begin.
