Hi

I've tried to set up the Projects feature by editing into my settings.js file and restarting Node-red (and rebooting the server) but the Projects popup as mentioned here ([Projects : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/projects/)) never appears.

When I look into my settings.js file it seems to be correct. This is the relevant section. What am I missing/doing wrong? Help please!

```
    projects: {
        /** To enable the Projects feature, set this value to true */
        enabled: true,
        workflow: {
            /** Set the default projects workflow mode.
             * - manual - you must manually commit changes
             * - auto - changes are automatically committed
             * This can be overridden per-user from the 'Git config'
             * section of 'User Settings' within the editor
             */
            mode: "manual"
        }
    },

```

Oh lord...the embarrassment. I rebooted the server again and lo and behold, the projects popup appeared.

If at first you don't succeed, reboot one more time.
