Settings tab
The Settings tab has no options to change in the free plugin. It explains:
- Compatibility first. CICO Media loads its admin assets only on CICO Media and supported Media Library screens, uses native WordPress hooks and does not replace the core media manager. Media files are never renamed, moved, compressed or deleted by these display settings.
- Documentation & support. A link to this documentation.
- Data & Privacy. Deactivating CICO Media keeps your settings and data. Deleting the plugin removes its technical options, cache, scheduled tasks and indexes, and never touches your media files. See Privacy and data.
