Safety rules:
Developers use the persistent object (e.g., $ persistent.gallery_unlocked = True ) to manage this data. For a player, editing persistent data is different from editing a standard save file.

To get the most out of the Ren'Py Persistent Editor, here are some best practices to keep in mind:
Change the look, background music, or theme of your main menu depending on the endings the player has unlocked.
By defining persistent_edit_whitelist , you control exactly what can be changed. This prevents users from accidentally editing system flags like persistent._seen_ever which tracks gallery unlocks, which could corrupt the save file structure.
While Ren'Py saves persistent data automatically on exit, calling renpy.save_persistent() immediately after a major unlock (e.g., reaching an ending) ensures data isn't lost if the game crashes.
