Tools Overview
All WP ULike Pro admin tools — when to use Maintenance, Automation, Schema, Bulk, GDPR, REST, and Debug.
WP ULike Pro adds a Tools workspace under WP ULike → Tools — seven tabs for maintenance, placement, SEO, bulk edits, compliance, API config, and support diagnostics.
Most tools require an active Pro license to save or run destructive actions.
Pulse storage upgrade (free plugin 5.2+) lives under Overview / a linked task page and Tools → Site Health, not in this Pro Tools workspace. See Pulse Storage Engine and Storage Upgrade.
