How to use it

Operator workflow

  1. 01

    Open API Keys and Settings from the administrator panel and review the current state.

  2. 02

    Set the specific configuration that expresses the desired api keys and settings outcome.

  3. 03

    Save deliberately, then follow the operation, activity, health, or runtime observation that confirms the result.

  4. 04

    Keep the before-and-after evidence in Activity and verify the workload path before relying on the change.

What Forge owns

Boundary and safety

Templates and integrations define repeatable behavior. Review variables, credentials, and event destinations before they are assigned to live workloads.

Use deliberate changes

Review the affected node, workload, route, or secret before saving. Capture state and health evidence before changes that affect data or public traffic.

Before you finish

Verification checklist

  • The operator has the required administrative role.
  • The intended node, workload, or project is selected.
  • The resulting operation or observation reaches a terminal state.
  • A rollback path exists before changing production traffic or storage.
