Is your proposal related to a problem?
The App Builder left-sidebar panel is titled "Global settings", but every control in it is app-level, not organization- or workspace-level:
- Unique app slug
- App link
- Maintenance mode
- Export app
- Canvas styles (max width, canvas background, app mode, theme)
"Global" is ambiguous. Builders reasonably wonder whether this is org, workspace, or app scope. ToolJet already has other "global" concepts (Inspector globals, workspace settings), so this label adds noise instead of clarifying scope.
Describe the solution you'd like
Rename the visible title from Global settings → App settings.
Surfaces that currently show this copy:
- Panel header in the left sidebar (settings icon / hex nut)
- Left-sidebar panel label used for error-boundary / accessibility wording
- i18n tooltip (
Settings.tip: "Global Settings")
- Cypress specs that assert the header text
- Current App Builder docs (left-sidebar / canvas), current version only — not historical versioned docs
Copy change only. Controls, layout, and behavior stay the same.
Acceptance criteria
Out of scope
- Renaming internal component/folder/CSS names (
GlobalSettings, global-settings-*, data-cy) unless a string is user-visible
- Changing any setting behavior
- Backfilling versioned docs for old releases
Describe alternatives you've considered
- "Application settings" — clearer than Global, but longer than the current title and the rest of the sidebar labels (Inspector, Debugger, App history).
- "Canvas settings" — too narrow; the panel also has slug, app link, maintenance mode, and export.
- Keep "Global settings" and add a subtitle — still leaves "global" in the primary label, so the confusion remains.
App settings is the shortest name that matches the actual scope.
If the feature is approved, would you be willing to submit a PR?
