# Opening the Panel

Run `/zonemanager` in-game (admins only). The panel has three regions:

### Layout

```
┌───────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────┐
│  MAP                           │  SETTINGS PANEL       │
│  • Player List (top-left)      │  • Zone Creator title │
│  • Map Controls (top-center)   │  • 15 setting sections│

│  • Zones list (bottom-left)    │  • Auto-save status   │
│  • Activity Log (bottom-right) │  • Revert / Delete    │
└───────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────┘
```

#### Map area

* **Player List** — live list of online players. Click one to open the Player Card with health/armor/coords and admin actions.
* **Map Controls** (top-center pills):
  * **Undo / Redo** — step through your last edits.
  * **Players / Zone labels / Heatmap / Debug view** — toggle map overlays.
  * **Activity log** — open the audit feed of admin actions.
* **Add Zone** — start drawing a Circle, Box or Polygon zone.
* **Zones list** (bottom-left) — every zone with quick actions: teleport to it, show/hide, enable/disable, duplicate, delete, plus **Export / Import** JSON.

#### Settings panel

When a zone is selected (or being drawn) the right panel shows its **15 setting sections** as an accordion. Open a section to edit it. A field's **help text** appears in the bottom-right box while you hover it.

### Selecting vs. drawing

* **Click a zone** on the map or in the Zones list → edit it.
* **Add Zone → shape** → draw a new one (see Drawing Zones).
* Click empty map space to **deselect**.

### Auto-save

There is **no Save button**. When you change something, a small indicator shows **"Saving…"**, and once you stop editing (a short debounce) it flips to **"All changes saved"** and the zone is persisted to the server.

* **Revert** — undoes the current editing session (rolls back to how the zone was when you opened it).
* **Delete** — removes the zone (asks for confirmation; superadmin).

{% hint style="info" %}
Switching to another zone, closing the panel or pressing **Esc** flushes any pending save immediately — you never lose an in-flight edit.
{% endhint %}

### Closing

Click the red **✕** (top-right of the settings panel) or press **Esc**.
