What are Denomas project settings

As per Denomas:

The Settings page in Denomas provides a centralized home for your project configuration options.

It is through these we often manage how various components of a project work.

Editing Denomas project settings

To edit Denomas project settings, you would go to the project in question, hover over the Settings option on the right-hand side, and then click on the category you wish to edit. From there, locate the setting and modify it. Some settings save the changes once you make them in the UI, some will require clicking a button to save the changes.
