#### Video transcript

In this video, we'll take a look at the settings and options in an Automation Hub project. Let's get started. First, go into Automation Hub and onto the Projects Dashboard. Here we see a list of all the projects and also how many automations each one contains. Over here under Settings, we have the option to specify notification settings whenever an error occurs. You can specify the frequency here and choose the recipients. Next, let's open a project. Inside the project on the left side, you can see that we have an Automations list. Underneath that, we have Execution Log. This is how many times an automation has been run. So normally you have in the free plan 200 automations every month that can run. That would mean 200 executions. Down here in the Audit Log, you can see the settings and steps I use to create automations or update automations, etc. Under that, we have Connected Apps, and these are any third-party applications that you're using within your automations. And finally, down here at the bottom, we have Settings. You can see the project name, the description, and also invite any users. That's about it for the settings and overview. Thank you very much.

#### Key takeaways

- Connect **Settings & Options** back to your stack configuration before moving to the next module.
- Capture one concrete artifact (screenshot, Postman call, or code snippet) that proves the step works in your environment.
- Re-read the delivery versus management boundary for anything you changed in the entry model.
