The expert user mode allows you to view technical and advanced information that is normally hidden in the standard interface, such as full timestamps, internal IDs, or metadata.
You can enable or disable it from your profile or via keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+Alt+E on Windows and Ctrl+Opt+E on Mac, to change the display mode only when you need to. If you have permissions to manage other users, you can view or modify this option also in their profiles.
When the mode is active, some sections of the platform show additional fields useful for advanced configurations, analysis, and technical support.
When we recommend activating it
The mode is recommended if:
You work with APIs, complex workflows or technical assets
You need IDs, parameters and metadata for advanced operations,
You collaborate with technical teams or with support,
You need to perform debugging or analysis on complex configurations.
For everyday or non-technical use of magnews, the standard mode is more suitable.
