# Known limitations

> What Orbit doesn't do yet, in one place

Orbit is under active development, and a few things are either partially built or not built at all. Each of these is covered where it's relevant elsewhere in these docs — this page just collects them in one place so you don't have to piece it together from individual callouts.

## No public or programmatic API

Orbit is a session-authenticated Inertia monolith. `laravel/sanctum` is a dependency but isn't wired to any route, so there's no way to authenticate an external client or call Orbit outside the browser. See [Tech stack](/architecture/tech-stack#why-no-api).

## Roles don't gate any actions

The `admin` role is assigned automatically to the first registered account, but today it only affects which account sees the first-project onboarding flow. Admins and members can create, edit, and delete projects and issues equally — there's no policy layer enforcing role-based permissions. See [Roles and permissions](/guides/roles-and-permissions).

## No email address changes

Name, avatar, and password can all be changed after registering, and the account can be deleted — but there's still no way to change the email address you registered with, through the app itself. See [Account](/concepts/account#profile).

## Most Settings sections are placeholders

Only four of the Settings page's thirteen tabs actually do anything: Preferences, Profile, Notifications, and Security & access. Everything else — Integrations, Export, and the entire Workspace section (Labels, Statuses, Priorities, Templates, Documents, Members, Roles & management) — is visible in the navigation with a "Soon" badge but isn't reachable. See [Settings](/concepts/settings#tabs).

## Mentions and project invites don't notify anyone

`IssueMentioned` and `ProjectInvited` exist as notification types, each with their own default channel settings, but nothing triggers either one — there's no @mention parsing in comments or descriptions, and no flow to invite someone to a project. See [Notifications](/concepts/notifications#notification-types).

## Activity log has no UI

Every mutating action is recorded internally as an activity log entry, but nothing in the app currently reads it back out — there's no page or panel that displays a project's history. See [Activity Log](/concepts/activity-log).

## No image insertion in the description editor

The issue description editor has Tiptap's image extension configured, but no toolbar button, paste handler, or drag-and-drop wiring exists to actually let you insert one. See [Writing issue descriptions](/guides/rich-text-editing#images).

## Comments and saved filters are create/delete only

Comments can't be edited after posting, and you can only delete your own. Saved filters can't be renamed or edited in place — deleting and re-saving is the only way to change one. See [Comments](/concepts/comments) and [Saved Filters](/concepts/saved-filters).

## Keyboard shortcuts are incomplete

`Ctrl+K` currently opens the same shortcuts help modal as `?` and `/`, rather than a distinct command palette. There's also no Mac-specific (`Cmd`) equivalent for any shortcut today. See [Keyboard shortcuts](/guides/keyboard-shortcuts).

## No push notifications

Orbit supports in-app and email notifications, but nothing beyond that — no browser push, no mobile push. See [Notifications](/concepts/notifications).

<Tip>
  None of this is hidden or broken — it's simply not built yet. If you're picking a first contribution, several of these are natural starting points; see [Contributing](/architecture/contributing).
