+### System Info Page
+
+The System Info page displays important technical information about your Payload installation and runtime environment. This page is accessible from the settings menu (gear icon) in the bottom left corner of the navigation, above the logout button.
+
+The following information is displayed on the System Info page:
+
+**Version Information:**
+
+- Payload version
+- Next.js version
+- Node.js version
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+- Environment (NODE_ENV)
+- Server URL
+- Database Adapter (MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or Cloudflare D1 SQLite)
+
+**Current Session:**
+
+- Logged-in user information
+
+#### Disabling the System Info Page
+
+If you want to disable the System Info page entirely, you can set `admin.routes.systemInfo` to `false`:
+
+```ts
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
+
+const config = buildConfig({
+  // ...
+  admin: {
+    routes: {
+      systemInfo: false, // highlight-line
+    },
+  },
+})
+```
+
+When disabled, the System Info page will not be accessible and will not appear in the settings menu.
+
 ## I18n
 
 The Payload Admin Panel is translated in over [30 languages and counting](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/packages/translations). Languages are automatically detected based on the user's browser and used by the Admin Panel to display all text in that language. If no language was detected, or if the user's language is not yet supported, English will be chosen. Users can easily specify their language by selecting one from their account page. See [I18n](../configuration/i18n) for more information.
