# The Settings tab

> Everything about the project itself lives on the Settings tab — its name, its WhatsApp connection, message templates, notifications, usage, and billing. Here's what each section holds and where to go for the detail.

The **Settings** tab is where you manage the project as a whole — as opposed to the [Tools tab](/guides/tools), which holds the infrastructure your bot runs on. Open it from the tab bar and you'll find a set of sections down the side.

## What's on the tab

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Project" icon="folder">
    The project's name, status, and creation date; its WhatsApp connection at a glance; the sharing and testing cards; and the Danger Zone.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Workspace" icon="users">
    Team members and their roles. Only shown on a [team workspace](/guides/workspaces) — personal projects don't have it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="WhatsApp" icon="message-circle">
    Connect a number, and once connected, manage your profile, display name, username, and business details.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Templates" icon="file-text">
    Your [message templates](/guides/templates) — the pre-approved messages you can send outside the 24-hour window.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Notifications" icon="bell">
    The single **Push notifications** switch for this device. See [Notifications](/guides/mobile-app#notifications).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Usage & Billing" icon="credit-card">
    Your credit usage and your subscription. Shown to workspace admins and owners.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Project

The **Project** section is the tab's home base. From here you can:

* **Rename the project** — edit the name field; it saves when you click away.
* See the project's **status** (`active`, `draft`) and the date it was **created**.
* Check the **WhatsApp connection** at a glance — it reads *Connected to WhatsApp Business API* or *Not connected*. The full connection lives in the **WhatsApp** section below.
* Use the **Share Your WhatsApp** card to hand out a wa.me link or QR code to start a chat with your bot.
* Link a phone for testing on the **Paige Dev** card — see [Testing](/guides/testing).
* Import contacts from the contacts card — see [Contacts import](/guides/contacts-import).
* Activate **Broadcasts** for the project.

<Warning>
  The **Danger Zone** at the bottom has two irreversible actions. **Reset Project** removes all code, conversations, and messages (your contacts and WhatsApp connection are kept). **Delete Project** removes everything. Neither can be undone.
</Warning>

### Paige Dev — test on your phone

The **Paige Dev** card lets you link your real phone number and message a shared test number to try your bot on actual WhatsApp, without a number of your own and without touching your live data. Linking, moving a number between projects, the **Try now** test template, and **Clear test data** are all covered in full on the [Testing](/guides/testing) page.

## WhatsApp

The **WhatsApp** section is where a project's number is connected and managed.

* **Not connected yet?** You'll confirm you have a Meta Business account and a number that can receive an OTP, then run Meta's embedded signup. The full walkthrough is on [WhatsApp Setup](/whatsapp-setup).
* **Already connected?** You'll see your profile photo, phone number, display name, and username, along with your quality rating, throughput, and messaging limit — plus a business profile form (about, description, address, email, websites, industry).

<Card title="Connect your WhatsApp number" icon="message-circle" href="/whatsapp-setup">
  Step-by-step: linking a WhatsApp Business number through Meta embedded signup and setting your display name.
</Card>

## Usage and Billing

The **Usage** and **Billing** sections show your AI credit consumption and your subscription. They're visible to workspace admins and owners. Subscribing, topping up credits, and payment are covered on the [Billing](/guides/billing) page.

## Where secrets live

If you came here looking for API keys and secrets, they're not on the Settings tab — they moved to **Tools → Secrets**. Managing them is covered on the [Secrets](/guides/secrets) page.

<Note>
  On a phone, Settings sits behind the **☰** menu and each section is its own screen. See [Use Paige on your phone](/guides/mobile-app).
