1. Store context
The Store Context: This setting is designed for OpenCart installations with multiple stores. It allows administrators to select a specific store and generate an llms.txt file for that store. Each store can have its own configuration, ensuring accurate and store-specific content generation.
2. Product Details
The Product Details filter determines which products appear in the llms.txt file. Store owners can include all products or restrict the selection based on business needs. Options include adding only active products, featured items, or manually selected products, and excluding others from being shared.

The Category Details filter helps manage content by category. Administrators can choose which categories to include, allowing them to exclude inactive or unnecessary ones. This keeps the archive well-structured and focused on relevant store data.
4. CMS Pages
