Header Actions

Two utility buttons appear in the Settings page header:

Button What It Does
Clear Cache Runs php artisan optimize:clear — clears config, route, view, and event caches
Run Queue Work Starts a one-off background queue worker process (useful on hosts without Supervisor)

{primary.fa-info-circle} Settings changes auto-clear the cache. Only run Clear Cache manually after editing .env directly or deploying new code.

{warning.fa-cog} Run Queue Work starts a temporary worker. On production, use Supervisor for a persistent worker. See Web Server Setup → Queue Worker.
