<p>Add rewritten practical lesson with steps, code and expected results</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>__NOTOC__<br /> {{OpenSite scope}}<br /> {{OpenSite lesson<br /> |id=opensite.help.set-preferences<br /> |summary=Change application presentation settings and understand user versus document scope.<br /> |prerequisites=The Windows desktop development build. The headless settings service is documented separately.<br /> |steps==== Open the correct scope ===<br /> {{MenuCommand|Edit → Preferences}} changes user preferences. {{MenuCommand|Edit → Document settings}} applies permitted overrides to the active document.<br /> <br /> === Find a setting ===<br /> Search the preferences pages. Language, country, unit profile and standards package are independent choices.<br /> <br /> === Apply or cancel ===<br /> Use {{Button|Apply}} to validate/store the pending set; {{Button|OK}} also closes the window. {{Button|Cancel}} drops unapplied edits and restores a previewed theme.<br /> <br /> === Handle a conflict ===<br /> If an external edit changed a pending key, reload before applying. Restore defaults removes the current scope’s override; it is not a global reset of every document.<br /> <br /> === Check persistence ===<br /> Close and reopen the preferences window. For user persistence, reopen the desktop with the same settings file and confirm the saved value.<br /> <br /> |result=Accepted user settings are retained; cancelling unapplied changes leaves stored values unchanged. Quantity-profile changes affect presentation, not canonical SI.<br /> |limitations=Preferences are not a credential store. Engineering tolerances and safety limits are not general appearance preferences. Only schema-supported settings have document overrides.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> &lt;div class=&quot;os-page-nav&quot;&gt;{{Docnav|OpenSite/Guides/Navigate a viewport|OpenSite/Guides/Save and reload settings|OpenSite/Guides|All guides}}&lt;/div&gt;<br /> [[Category:OpenSite documentation]]</div>
