Working In General Settings

If newly added series are being created with the wrong default monitoring or sidecar settings, review the facet-level defaults here before editing individual titles.

If sidecar or metadata behavior changed after an upgrade, check here for new options before adjusting individual series titles.

• Review defaults for newly added series.
• Configure series-level sidecar or metadata-adjacent behavior when available.
• Tune behavior around season and episode tracking where it’s surfaced.
• Set new-series defaults before adding a group of titles.
• Adjust sidecar behavior to match what your media server expects.
• Re-check this page after upgrading if the release adds new broad series behaviors.
