# Grid Runtime

Grid Runtime allows Grid Studio projects to be deployed to end users through a simplified operator interface. The project continues running in the background while operators interact only with the controls intended for daily operation, preventing unintended modifications to the project.

> Grid Runtime launches the project in a fullscreen environment without displaying the standard Grid Studio menus or interface elements. This ensures that operators only see the controls provided by the runtime interface.

> If required, a runtime menu bar can be enabled to provide access to selected options and expose specific parameters for configuration or maintenance.
