- [ ] Try bulk operations on tasks
- [ ] Save and load a filter
- [ ] Toggle dark mode
- [ ] Open command palette (Ctrl+K)
- [ ] View keyboard shortcuts (Shift+?)

---

## 📊 **Database Changes**

### New Tables (3)
- `time_entry_templates` - 9 columns
- `activities` - 9 columns
- `saved_filters` - 8 columns (already existed)

### Modified Tables (1)

  - `email_notifications`
  - `notification_overdue_invoices`
  - `notification_task_assigned`
  - `notification_task_comments`
  - `notification_weekly_summary`
  - `timezone`
  - `date_format`
  - `time_format`
  - `week_start_day`

---

## ⚙️ **Configuration Options**

### Email Settings (`.env`)
```env
MAIL_SERVER=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USE_TLS=true
MAIL_USERNAME=your-email@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=your-app-password
MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER="TimeTracker <your-email@gmail.com>"
```

### Scheduler Settings (Optional)
Default: Daily at 9:00 AM for overdue invoice checks
- Modify in `app/utils/scheduled_tasks.py`

---

## 🐛 **Troubleshooting**

### Migration Fails
```bash
# Check current revision
flask db current

# Check migration history
flask db history

# If stuck, try:
flask db stamp head
flask db upgrade
```

### Email Not Sending
1. Check SMTP credentials in `.env`
2. Verify `MAIL_SERVER` is reachable
3. Check user email preferences in `/settings`
4. Look for errors in logs

### Scheduler Not Running
1. Ensure `APScheduler` is installed
2. Check logs for scheduler startup messages
3. Verify only one instance is running

### Dark Mode Not Persisting
1. Clear browser localStorage
2. Login and set theme via `/settings`
3. Check browser console for errors

### Excel Export Fails
1. Verify `openpyxl` is installed
2. Check file permissions
3. Look for errors in application logs

---

## 📈 **Performance Impact**

### Expected Resource Usage
- **Database**: +3 tables, minimal impact
- **Memory**: +~50MB (APScheduler + Mail)
- **CPU**: Negligible (scheduler runs once daily)
- **Disk**: +~10MB (dependencies)

### Optimization Tips
1. Index `activities` table by `created_at` if high volume
2. Archive old activities after 90 days
3. Limit saved filters per user (recommend max 50)
4. Use caching for template lists

---

## 🔒 **Security Considerations**

### Implemented Protections
✅ CSRF protection on all forms
✅ Login required for all new routes
✅ Permission checks for bulk operations
✅ Input validation on all endpoints
✅ SQL injection prevention (SQLAlchemy ORM)
✅ XSS prevention (Jinja2 auto-escaping)

### Recommendations
1. Use HTTPS for email credentials
2. Enable rate limiting on bulk operations
3. Review activity logs periodically
4. Limit email sending to prevent abuse
5. Validate file sizes for Excel exports
