To keep the menus organized we've made some helpful changes to the way you manage your projects and company settings. When navigating through SiteMax Systems, you'll come across two important areas: Company Settings and Project Settings. These serve as hubs for configuring preferences, settings, and specific details pertaining to your projects. Let's take a closer look at Company Settings:
