Documentation incorrect: Test Mode toggle is not located in “Explore > Recent Signals” #271

Description

@taranntell

When integrating TelemetryDeck using the SwiftSDK, the documentation describes an incorrect location for enabling Test Mode in the dashboard.

According to the documentation (as of 02.01.2026):
https://telemetrydeck.com/docs/guides/swift-setup/

“Open the TelemetryDeck Dashboard, navigate to ‘Explore > Recent Signals’ and make sure ‘Test Mode’ is enabled. You should see the automatic session signal appear after launching your app.”

However, in the current dashboard UI, there is no Test Mode toggle in “Explore > Recent Signals”.

Actual behavior
The Test Mode activation toggle is located under:

Dashboard → Overview

This caused significant confusion during integration, as test signals were being sent correctly but could not be surfaced in dashboards due to the toggle being in a different location than documented.

Expected behavior
The documentation should either:
• Reference Dashboard → Overview as the correct location of the Test Mode toggle, or
• Be updated to reflect the current UI layout accurately.

Environment
• SDK: SwiftSDK
• Platform: macOS
• Date observed: 02.01.2026

Impact
Developers following the documentation may assume their integration is broken when no signals appear, even though data is being sent correctly.
