Access the control panel at `/df/file/account/` for development settings and data management:
|
|
|
|
- **Change date** - Set browser date to test deadline-related functionality
|
|
- **Data Import Profile** - Modify seeded test data (like date of birth) that can't be changed in the normal tax flow during local development
|
|
- **Download Data** - Export fact graph as JSON for attaching to pull requests or bug reports
|
|
- **Upload Data** - Import fact graph to quickly navigate to specific application states when testing PRs or reproducing bugs
|
|
- **Preview Tax Return** - View backend tax return preview
|
|
