# Admin Workflows

> Common Evolve+ setup and management workflows

## Open and Edit the Tree

```text theme={null}
/evolve tree
/evolve edit
```

When edit mode is armed, click a projected node to open Node Studio.

To edit a specific node directly:

```text theme={null}
/evolve edit primitive_tools
```

## Test Era Progression

Use a small contribution first:

```text theme={null}
/evolve status
/evolve contribute 1k
/evolve progress AGRARIAN
```

Then test larger progress rollover:

```text theme={null}
/evolve addprogress AGRARIAN 1m
/evolve status
```

## Force an Era

```text theme={null}
/evolve setera INDUSTRIAL
```

This is useful for testing blocked materials, effects, world border expansion, and node availability.

## Reset Progression

Reset a player:

```text theme={null}
/evolve reset player Steve
```

Reset the global era state:

```text theme={null}
/evolve reset global PRIMITIVE
```

## Grant or Revoke Nodes

```text theme={null}
/evolve grant Steve primitive_tools
/evolve revoke Steve primitive_tools
```

If the player has the tree open, Evolve+ refreshes the projection after the profile changes.

## Manage Lockouts

```text theme={null}
/evolve lockout Steve agrarian_roots
/evolve unlockout Steve agrarian_roots
```

Use lockouts for branch choices where unlocking one path should block another.

## Create a Backup

```text theme={null}
/evolve backup
```

Backups snapshot cached progression state. For full production safety, also back up your MongoDB database.

## Recommended Release Checklist

* Confirm the license key is set.
* Confirm `/evolve status` shows the expected economy state.
* Confirm `/evolve tree` opens without client disconnects.
* Confirm at least one node can be unlocked.
* Confirm `/evolve contribute 1k` works with your economy provider.
* Confirm `/evolve backup` succeeds.
