# Managed database

Browse, edit, and export your app's live tables safely from the database tab.

The **Database** tab is a browser for the Postgres that belongs to your app:
tables, rows, filters, edits, and export. Template apps and custom API projects
that Evonx provisioned both land here. You choose **Live** (published) or
**Development** (previews) so you never mix the two.

## Browse and change data

1. Open the project and go to **Database**. Pick the environment, then a table
   from the list (row counts and size help you find the busy ones).

2. Search, filter, and sort. Hidden columns stay hidden — some fields are
   redacted on purpose.

3. Edit a cell, add a row, or delete when you mean it. Save is explicit; there
   is no silent autosave of production data.

4. Export when you need a copy outside Evonx.

> **Warning**
> Live is real customer data. Prefer trying destructive experiments in
> **Development** or in a
> [preview database](/docs/preview-and-debug/preview-databases), which is rebuilt
> from migrations and seed data every time.

## What Evonx still handles

Provisioning, schema migrations on [publish](/docs/launch/publish-to-evonx), and
backups stay on the platform. The tab is how *you* look at and correct rows —
not a replacement for asking an Evolution Thread to change the data *model*.

Restoring from a backup is an operational request: contact support with the
time window you need. Policy questions (KVKK, GDPR) live on
[Data & privacy](/docs/trust/data-and-privacy).
