# ⚙️ Store Settings – General

WC Studio allows you to update your store’s basic information, enable maintenance mode, clone your site, or permanently delete it. All essential store-level controls are found here.

***

## 📍 Go to: WC Studio → Stores → Select a Store → Settings → General

***

## 🏪 Store Information

You can update your store’s name and description for internal reference and dashboard labeling.

### ✏️ Fields

| Field                 | Description                                                 |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Store Name**        | The display name for your store (e.g. "BOBA")               |
| **Store Description** | Optional internal description of the store setup or purpose |

After editing, click **Save Change** to apply updates.

***

## 🚧 Maintenance Mode

When enabled, your store will display a **maintenance page** to all visitors, while keeping admin access open.

### 🔧 Enable Maintenance Mode

* Toggle the setting to ON
* Your live site will show a temporary maintenance screen
* Useful during development, migration, or downtime

💡 **Pro Tip:** Always enable Maintenance Mode before launching major design or plugin changes.

***

## 🧪 Clone Store

Create a full duplicate of your existing store for **staging**, **testing**, or **server configuration experiments**.

### 🔁 Clone Store

* Click **Clone Store**
* A new store instance will be created with the same:
  * Files
  * Database
  * Themes & Plugins
  * Settings

You can choose to assign a new subdomain or environment label (e.g. `Staging` or `Dev`).

> 🔐 Cloned stores do **not affect your live store** — perfect for safe experimentation.

***

## 🗑️ Delete Store

Deleting a store is **permanent** and **cannot be undone**.

### ❌ Delete Store

* Click **Delete Store**
* Confirm the deletion
* All files, database content, and settings will be removed

⚠️ **Warning:** Use this only when you're absolutely sure. Always take a **Snapshot Backup** before deleting a site.

***

## 💡 Best Practices

* ✅ Use Maintenance Mode during updates or outages
* ✅ Clone before testing new features or plugins
* ✅ Keep descriptions updated for team visibility
* ✅ Always back up before deleting or cloning
