Configuration Editor

Configuration Editor

The Config page provides a visual editor for your openclaw.json configuration file, with inline documentation for each setting.

Two Modes

Visual UI

The default view organizes config settings into sections that mirror the openclaw.json structure:

  • Agents — agent list, defaults, models
  • Channels — Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.
  • Gateway — port, auth, Tailscale settings
  • Models — provider configuration
  • Cron — scheduled task definitions

Each setting has an inline explanation pulled from OpenClaw documentation, so you don’t need to look up what a field does.

Raw JSON

Toggle to the raw JSON editor for direct editing with syntax highlighting. Useful for advanced users or bulk changes.

Diff Preview

Before saving any changes, LordClaw shows a diff preview so you can see exactly what will change. This prevents accidental modifications.

Chat Assistant

A floating chat button in the bottom-right corner opens a config assistant. You can ask questions like:

  • “What does this setting do?”
  • “How do I configure Telegram?”
  • “What’s the default heartbeat interval?”

The assistant answers based on OpenClaw documentation.

Configuration changes are saved via the gateway API. After saving, your OpenClaw instance picks up the changes — no restart required for most settings.
