Features (kits)
Every feature is optional. Nothing is on until you add it, and taking one out is one tap that can be undone. Your data stays: if you add a feature back, its records come back with it.
Add features from HQ → Library, or ask the AI ("add a support desk").

Changing a feature #
After you add a feature, what it made is yours to rename, restyle, move or hide from some roles. "Support desk" is just a queue with a team behind it, and "VIP" is just a rank, so you can turn them into anything.
Search #
Add the Search kit, or ask the AI to put a search box on any page (coming with the next update). It looks through pages, lists, messages, posts, people and files, and you only find what you're allowed to see.
Put your pages on the web #
Add Public links, pick a handle, and your pages open in any browser, without the app. That's good for a link-in-bio, a portfolio, a menu or a business page. You can add your own domain too: HQ's Web panel lists the DNS records to add, including a TXT record _zvessa.<your domain> with the value zvessa-verify=… that proves the domain is yours. Only public pages go on the web, and kids spaces never do.
Share what you made #
Add Templates and kits to share your work. Save your whole space as a template, or a few pages as a kit. It stays private to you, and you can add it to your other spaces. Before anything is saved, keys, emails, phone numbers and private links are taken out, and you see the list. When you tap Publish, a Zvessa admin checks it first, then anyone can add it next to what they have, or switch their space to a template. Everything added can be undone from History or taken out again. You can also ask the AI: "save my party page as a kit".
