Space & Global Configuration
As administrator of your confluence instance you can find the global configurations for the EDM in the Confluence Administration. Go to EDM Configuration in the Easy Dropdown Menu section.
Dropdown Sets
The sets you define in the global configuration can be used in all spaces, the ones you define in the space configuration can only be used in the space you declared them in.
By pressing the Add entry button in the Predefined Sets or Status Sets tab, you can add a new set. If you press the Show Usage button a pop up window will open with a list of links to all places where this specific set was used.
When using the History button of a set, a dialog will open. There you can see the five most recent changes made to the set and also restore deleted set options with the Restore button.
With the Delete button you can delete a set.
When pressing the Edit button the Easy Dropdown Menu Set Editor dialog will open. Here you can create, change, delete the options for your set:

Be aware that the options are mapped with unique id's. If you delete an option that is used on a page you can not simply add another option with the same value.
General Configuration
Page Reindexing
In the first one, the Page Reindexing Section, you can reindex all your pages. To do so, press the Reindex Pages button.
Set Restoration
In the Set Restoration Section, you can rebuild all used EDM sets and get them exported in a JSON file which can be imported in the Migration Section to restore any lost sets or options. To do so, press the Restore button.
Permissions
In the Permissions Section, you can declare on a global scale which groups are allowed to change the dropdowns on the page. Select the groups by choosing from the dropdown and pressing the Save button.
The configured EDM space permissions will be merged with the global EDM permissions for the respective space.
Users with edit-permissions on the current page can always manipulate the dropdown as they could also just go into the edit-mode and make the changes there.
Notifications
In the Notification Section you find the Disable notifications checkbox. As the name suggests, if checked, no Updated successfully notification will be shown when changing a dropdown value.
