Clears Firebase completely and pushes your current local data. Use when another device deleted records but they still show here.
🧹 Reset Passes on All Devices
Clears only the local pass cache on every connected device (this one included) and makes each one re-fetch fresh from Firebase. Settings/config on each device are untouched, and Firebase's own data is untouched too.

☁️ Cloud Upload — File Storage▼
When status is set to Prepared and a file is attached, it uploads automatically. You can enable one or more platforms.
Firebase Console → Storage → gs://your-project.appspot.com
Firebase Console → Project Settings → Web API Key
📋 Wix Page Code (Firebase)
Storage → Rules: set
allow read: if true;. Then paste this code in your Wix page.
💡 Use a Microsoft personal or school account. Files are automatically renamed to the Reference Number before upload.
Path relative to OneDrive root. Leave empty for root folder.
⚠️ Note: OneDrive ROPC auth may be blocked on some organisational accounts. Personal Microsoft accounts (outlook.com, hotmail.com) work best. School/Office 365 accounts require IT admin approval.
🌐 Student name, Reference Number and PDF file are pushed to your "Transfer Certificates" collection.
⚠️ Required: Wix's API blocks direct calls from a browser (CORS). A small free Cloudflare Worker is needed as a relay. Deploy
wix-proxy.js (provided separately) to Cloudflare Workers, then paste its URL below.
The Cloudflare Worker URL you get after deploying wix-proxy.js. Leave empty to attempt a direct call (will fail with CORS error in most browsers).

Document Types to Sync
Only the document types selected (✓) below will be pushed to Wix CMS. Others will be saved locally as usual but skipped from Wix sync.
💡 How it works: When you attach a file to an entry and set the status to Prepared, the PDF is automatically uploaded to Wix Media and saved in the "Transfer Certificates" collection with the student name and file link — but only if that entry's document type is checked above.
✈️ A notification is sent to your Telegram channel whenever a Reference Register entry is added, updated, or deleted.
Can be same as Gate Pass bot or a separate one
