The settings page
Panels → Settings is organized into sections:
Core — image quality for generated output.
Performance — caching on/off and duration, and the maximum number of simultaneous generations.
Security — rate limiting on/off, maximum requests per hour, allowed upload file types, and maximum upload file size.
Translation — everything covered in the Translation article: provider, API key with a Test Connection button, source and target language, formality, cache duration, and orphan retention.
User Image Display — defaults for the visitor-facing image gallery: grid or list view, images per page, columns, title source, and whether the date and download button are shown. (The "share" option is a placeholder for a future release and currently has no effect.)
Uninstall — the Remove data on uninstall toggle. Leave it off to keep your Panels and generated images if the plugin is ever deleted; turn it on only if you want deletion to remove everything, including settings, generated-image records, and the plugin's database table.
Only administrators can open or save this page.
Generated Images
Panels → Generated Images lists every image visitors have created, with a preview thumbnail, the form and entry it came from, and quick View/Download actions. Each row links straight to the Gravity Forms entry.
Generated By shows which logged-in user created the image (guest submissions show Guest / Unknown).
Administrators and editors see everyone's images. Other users only ever see their own — in this list, on their profile page, in the gallery shortcode, and through the API.
A user's own generated images also appear on their WordPress profile screen (most recent 24).
The visitor gallery shortcode
Add [user_generated_images] to any page to show logged-in visitors a gallery of their own generated images. Visitors who aren't logged in see a login prompt instead.

The gallery is page-builder-agnostic — it works in Divi, Elementor, the block editor, or a plain page. Developers building custom modules have a PHP and REST route to the same data; see the developer reference.
Uninstalling
Deactivating Panels never deletes anything. Deleting the plugin only removes data if Remove data on uninstall is enabled in settings; with it enabled, deletion removes the plugin's settings, scheduled tasks, temporary security tokens and counters, its database table, and the generated-images upload folder.
