# Editor Dashboard & Inspection Tools

Debugging encrypted save files can traditionally be a nightmare, often requiring developers to write custom decryption scripts just to see what was saved. Apex Secure Vault completely eliminates this hassle with a beautifully designed, built-in Editor Dashboard.

#### Step 7.1: Accessing the Vault Dashboard

To open the control panel, look at the top menu bar in the Unity Editor:

Navigate to: Window > Apex Studio > Apex Secure Vault

You can dock this window anywhere in your layout (e.g., next to your Console or Inspector) for easy access during development.

#### Step 7.2: The Dashboard Tab (Profile Management)

When you open the window, you will first see the Dashboard tab. This acts as your central hub for save management.

·         Global Security Status: Instantly verifies if your Global Encryption Password is set securely and displays the exact physical path on your hard drive where the vault folder is located.

·         Profile Management: Detects all active save profiles on your machine. You can click "Scan Profile" to load its files into the Inspector, or safely "Delete Profile" to wipe all its related save data (perfect for resetting the game during testing).

#### Step 7.3: The File Inspector Tab (Real-Time Decryption)

Once you scan a profile, switch to the File Inspector tab. This is your ultimate debugging tool.

·         Target Vault File: A dropdown menu containing all the encrypted .vault files inside the selected profile.

·         Decrypt & Inspect: Click this button to run a live decryption of the file using your ApexVaultSettings password.

·         Inspection Console: The raw, decrypted JSON structure will be cleanly printed here, allowing you to easily verify your saved keys, values, and checksums. If the file was tampered with or if the password is wrong, the console will explicitly tell you!

·         Delete Vault File: Allows you to surgically delete a specific object's save file without deleting the entire profile.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://apex-studio.gitbook.io/apex-secure-vault-official-documentation./editor-dashboard-and-inspection-tools.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
