## Seeing Which Display Choices the Site Remembers
In **Sherkety ERP & Website Platform**, some display choices are remembered so the interface can look familiar when you come back later in the same browser. The most visible example is the **theme setting**, such as **Light** or **Dark** mode. If you switch the display style while browsing the website or working in the admin area, that choice is typically restored the next time that area opens.

You may also notice that other interface choices stay consistent after you move between pages. Based on the available screens and shared interface patterns, users should expect saved behavior around items such as:

- **Theme mode** on public pages and in the admin portal
- **Language selection** when browsing multilingual pages
- **Navigation state**, such as whether a side menu is expanded or collapsed where that control is available
- Other **view-related choices** in areas that offer alternate layouts

The public website and the admin portal should be treated as **two connected but separate experiences**. A preference you set while browsing public pages, such as a display mode or language choice, may carry through public pages. A preference you change after signing in to the admin area may be remembered for that admin workspace instead. This is why the website can open one way while the admin portal opens another.

Saved choices are usually applied **as the page loads**. On public pages, that means your preferred display can appear when you return to the site. In the admin area, saved choices may take effect **after sign-in** because protected pages open only after your account is verified. If you recently read [Using Theme Switching Across Public and Admin Experiences](doc:using-theme-switching-across-public-and-admin-experiences), this is the same idea viewed from the “what gets remembered” side.

## Changing Your Display Preferences on the Site and in the Admin Portal
You change display preferences directly from the controls shown in the interface. On public pages of **Sherkety ERP & Website Platform**, the most common controls are the **theme toggle** and the **language selector**. These are the controls visitors use to switch how pages look and which language version they want to read. In the admin portal, similar display controls may appear in the top bar or navigation area, alongside workspace controls such as a collapsible menu.

When you use one of these controls, the result is usually immediate:

- Switching the **theme** updates colors and contrast right away
- Changing the **language** opens the matching localized version of the page or content
- Collapsing or expanding navigation changes the workspace layout immediately
- Any available display-style control usually updates the current screen without asking you to reload first

For these display choices, there is no separate **Save** or **Apply** step shown in the shared interface context. The preference is generally saved **as soon as you change it**. That means you can switch the setting, continue browsing, and expect the same choice to be used again later in that area.

There are also differences based on who you are:

- **Public visitors** can use public-facing controls such as theme and language while browsing pages like services, ERP apps, and company guidance
- **Signed-in content editors** can use admin display controls while working in pages such as **Dashboard** and **Content**
- **Administrators** use the same workspace display controls, but they also have access to more admin sections such as **Users**, **Settings**, **SEO**, **Services**, and **Pricing**

Display controls affect how the interface appears to **you**. They do not change the saved website content itself. For editing workflows, see [Editing Content Directly From the Website](doc:editing-content-directly-from-the-website) and [Using the Admin Dashboard for Navigation](doc:using-the-admin-dashboard-for-navigation).

## Returning to the Platform and Seeing Saved Preferences Restored
When you return to **Sherkety ERP & Website Platform** in the same browser, your saved display choices are usually restored automatically. If you left the public website in **Dark** mode, the site can reopen in that same mode. If you were browsing in a selected language, public pages may continue in that language as you move through service pages, ERP pages, and company information pages.

In the admin portal, the restoration point can feel slightly different. Because admin pages require sign-in, your preferred workspace appearance may show up **after you log in** and the protected page opens. For example, if your admin workspace was using a certain theme or navigation layout, that preference may return when you open **Dashboard** or another admin section again.

Here is what to expect in common return scenarios:

- **Same browser, same device:** previously chosen display settings are most likely restored automatically
- **After signing out and signing back in:** public-site choices may remain in the browser, while admin-area choices may reappear after login
- **Private or incognito window:** saved choices often do not carry over once that private session ends
- **Different browser or device:** your display choices may not follow you unless that preference is tied to your signed-in experience
- **Moving across pages:** theme and language choices usually feel broader and can apply across many pages in the same experience

It is helpful to think in terms of **scope**. A public-site preference usually affects public browsing. An admin preference usually affects the admin workspace. If you change a setting on the website homepage, that does not automatically mean the same setting will control the admin portal before or after login.

## Understanding What Affects Whether Preferences Persist
Whether Sherkety ERP & Website Platform remembers your display choices depends on how your browser handles saved website data and whether the preference belongs to your signed-in workspace. In practice, three things matter most:

- **Browser storage**
- **Cookies**
- **Your signed-in admin session**

For public browsing, remembered choices such as **theme** or **language** are often tied to the browser you used when you made the change. If that browser allows saved website data to remain available, the site can restore your preference on a later visit. If your browser removes that data, the site may return to its default appearance instead.

Several situations can prevent preferences from sticking:

- You **clear browsing data**
- Your browser is set to **delete cookies when it closes**
- You use **strict privacy settings**
- You block website storage for that browser
- You open the site in a **private browsing window**

Shared devices can also change what you see. If multiple people use the same browser, the most recently saved display choice in that browser may be the one that appears first. In the admin portal, this can be more noticeable when different users sign in and out on the same computer.

There is also a difference between **personal display choices** and **site-wide settings**. Administrators can work in areas such as **Settings**, but those sections are for managing the website and admin configuration, not for forcing every person to use the same personal theme choice at all times. A site-wide default can shape the starting experience, while your own saved preference can still control how pages appear for you after you make a change.

If a saved choice seems inconsistent, check whether the issue is tied to the browser, the device, or the fact that you switched between the public website and the admin portal.

## Managing Expectations for Different Types of Users
Different people use **Sherkety ERP & Website Platform** in different ways, so display preferences do not always behave the same for everyone.

For **prospective ERP buyers**, the public website is the main place where preferences are remembered before any account is involved. If you browse ERP pages, compare modules, or review package information, choices such as **theme** and **language** can be remembered in that browser even if you have never signed in. If you later move into an account-based area, the admin workspace may follow its own saved behavior after login.

For **business services visitors**, the experience is similar across public pages. If you move between company registration pages, accounting pages, service comparisons, and contact pages, your public-facing display choices can continue across those pages. When you return later in the same browser, the website may reopen with the same appearance you used before.

For **content editors**, workspace preferences in the admin area are personal to the editor using that browser and account session. A content editor can sign in, open **Dashboard** or **Content**, and continue working with the display style they last used. These personal display choices are separate from the actual website content they edit.

For **administrators**, there are two layers to keep in mind:

- **Default presentation choices** that may come from the website or admin configuration
- **Personal display preferences** chosen during everyday use

An administrator can access more sections, including **Users**, **Settings**, **SEO**, **Services**, and **Pricing**, but that broader access does not mean every display preference becomes global for everyone else. Personal theme and workspace choices still belong to the person using the interface.

If you want a broader comparison of public and admin behavior before focusing on saved preferences, refer back to [Using Theme Switching Across Public and Admin Experiences](doc:using-theme-switching-across-public-and-admin-experiences).

## Fixing Cases Where the Platform Does Not Remember Your Display Settings
If **Sherkety ERP & Website Platform** is not restoring your preferred display, start by checking the simplest cause: the browser may not be keeping the saved preference long enough to reuse it.

Look for these common causes first:

- **Cookies are blocked**
- **Browser storage is disabled**
- The browser is set to **clear data on exit**
- You changed the setting in a **private browsing window**
- You switched to a **different browser or device**

Next, make sure you changed the preference in the correct place. The public website and the admin portal can remember settings separately. If you changed the theme while browsing public pages, that does not guarantee the same theme will appear in **Dashboard** after login. Likewise, changing the admin workspace appearance may not change how the public website opens later.

A quick way to narrow down the issue is to test one condition at a time:

- Reopen the same page in the **same browser**
- Sign out and sign back in to the **same admin account**
- Test the same preference in **another browser**
- Check whether the issue happens for **one user account** or every account on that device

Also consider whether a default setting is being shown first. In some cases, a recent logout or a fresh session can make the interface appear to reset until your personal preference is applied again.

If the problem only affects one area, compare the behavior carefully:

- Public pages not remembering your choice points to a **browser-level issue**
- Admin pages not restoring your choice after login may point to a **session or account-specific difference**
- Different results between users on the same computer usually point to **shared-browser behavior**

## Overview
Display preferences in **Sherkety ERP & Website Platform** are meant to reduce repeated setup each time you visit. Instead of switching the same controls again and again, the website and admin portal can restore familiar choices when the browser still has access to the saved preference.

The most important ideas to keep in mind are:

- **Theme choices** such as light or dark display can be remembered
- **Language selection** can continue across multilingual public pages
- **Public website preferences** and **admin workspace preferences** may be remembered separately
- Preferences are usually saved **immediately when you change the control**
- Restored behavior depends heavily on the **same browser**, **same device**, and whether you are **signed in**

This matters most when you move between the two main experiences in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform:

- The **public website**, where visitors browse services, ERP modules, pricing, and company information
- The **admin portal**, where authorized users open **Dashboard**, **Content**, **Users**, **Settings**, **SEO**, **Services**, and **Pricing**

If a preference seems to disappear, the cause is often not the setting itself but the environment around it. Clearing browser data, using private browsing, switching devices, or signing in through a different account can all change what gets restored.

This document focuses on how remembered display behavior works after you make a choice. For the actual act of switching themes and comparing public and admin controls, use [Using Light and Dark Display Modes](doc:using-light-and-dark-display-modes) and [Using Theme Switching Across Public and Admin Experiences](doc:using-theme-switching-across-public-and-admin-experiences).

## Prerequisites
You do not need any special setup to understand or use saved display preferences in **Sherkety ERP & Website Platform**, but a few basic conditions help the feature work as expected.

Before testing whether a preference is remembered, make sure you have:

- Access to the **same browser** you used when changing the setting
- A visible display control such as a **theme toggle**, **language selector**, or workspace navigation control
- Browser settings that allow **cookies** and saved website data
- If you are testing admin behavior, access to your **admin sign-in** and the correct role for pages such as **Dashboard** or **Content**

It also helps to know which area you are working in:

- Use the **public website** if you want to check visitor-facing preferences across service pages, ERP pages, or company information pages
- Use the **admin portal** if you want to check workspace preferences after signing in

For the clearest test, avoid these conditions at first:

- **Private or incognito browsing**
- Browsers that **clear data automatically**
- Switching between multiple devices during the same test
- Using a shared computer where another person may have changed the same display controls

If you are new to the display controls themselves, review [Using Light and Dark Display Modes](doc:using-light-and-dark-display-modes). If you need help getting into the admin area before checking saved workspace behavior, see [Signing In and Accessing the Admin Portal](doc:signing-in-and-accessing-the-admin-portal).
