⚠️ Group sync limitation (ZaeUI_Defensives & ZaeUI_Interrupts) — Since the Midnight pre-patch (12.0, January 2026), Blizzard silently blocks addon-to-addon communication inside active Mythic+ runs, PvP matches and raid boss encounters. Cross-player cooldown sync therefore does not work in those contexts — this affects every cooldown-sharing addon, not just ZaeUI. Everything still works in the open world, in dungeons before the keystone is activated, in raids between pulls, and in solo play. Your own cooldowns always display correctly. See the individual addon READMEs for details.
All ZaeUI addons share a common settings panel under Escape → Options → AddOns → ZaeUI. A minimap button (provided by ZaeUI_Shared) gives one-click access to this panel; drag it around the minimap to reposition, or toggle it off in the Global section of the ZaeUI panel.
