# About Managing DocsFab

> Find guides for checking readiness, managing local configuration, changing versions, and using development builds.

Manage a DocsFab installation, its private state, and the evidence retained by its jobs. Start with [Check Readiness](/docsfab/manage/check-readiness) when deciding whether a local review, patch, or draft merge request can run.

## Installation and Local State

Choose a guide for the installation or state you need to manage:

| Task | Guide |
| --- | --- |
| Change versions, repair an installed package, or remove the CLI. | [Update or Uninstall](/docsfab/manage/update-or-uninstall) |
| Try a package from the development channel. | [Install a Development Build](/docsfab/manage/development-installation) |
| Preserve and restore the complete private configuration and run stores. | [Back Up and Restore Local State](/docsfab/manage/recover-local-state) |
| Resume, list, or delete live-agent transcripts. | [Manage Live Sessions](/docsfab/manage/live-sessions) |

## Configuration and Readiness

Use these guides before model execution or delivery:

| Task | Guide |
| --- | --- |
| Check local or live prerequisites for the selected operation. | [Check Readiness](/docsfab/manage/check-readiness) |
| Locate host files, replace a key, or check directory permissions. | [Manage Local Configuration](/docsfab/manage/local-configuration) |
| Inspect effective limits, observations, and headroom. | [Inspect Operational Limits](/docsfab/manage/inspect-operational-limits) |
| Set supported host limit overrides. | [Configure Host Limits](/docsfab/manage/configure-host-limits) |
| Inspect an explicitly configured Codex or Claude Code CLI. | [Check Native CLI Readiness](/docsfab/manage/check-native-harness) |

## Runs, Reports, and Model Evidence

Follow the saved evidence for the question you need to answer:

- [Diagnose a Failed Run](/docsfab/manage/diagnose-run), or [investigate patterns across saved runs](/docsfab/workflows/investigate-saved-runs).
- [Compare Completed Composition Runs](/docsfab/manage/compare-runs).
- [Host a Review Report](/docsfab/manage/host-review-report).
- [Check Answer Submission Capability](/docsfab/manage/qualify-answer-submission), or [check answer-record capability](/docsfab/manage/qualify-answer-records) with the explicit live probe.

## Deployment and Documentation Site

Deployment recovery uses a clean destination and fresh authority. Follow [Restore a Deployment](/docsfab/manage/restore-deployment) and [Configure the Recovery Object Bound](/docsfab/manage/configure-recovery-bound). The pilot's live recovery drill remains incomplete.

For this repository's Fern site, follow [Preview the Documentation Site](/docsfab/manage/preview-documentation-site). A preview does not establish publication or release approval.
