Toggling development mode
-------------------------

A monochrome gear icon in the toolbar lets you manage your domains / zones:

	:alt: Toggling development mode

Development mode is a way for you to make changes to your site, and see the changes immediately. By entering development
mode, you will bypass Cloudflare's proxy and suppress minification. As a result, as you make changes to images, CSS or
Javascript, the changes will appear immediately. Development mode stays on for three (3) hours and then automatically
toggles off.

The gear icon shows a badge with the number of zones in development mode (if greater than 0).
