Settings Overview
Settings manages account information, new-profile defaults, current-device behavior, cross-device global configuration, desktop client menus, and software versions. The desktop client displays six tabs. The web app displays only Account Settings and Preference Settings.
Settings Tabs

|---|---|---|
1 | Account Settings | Manage avatar, nickname, identity verification, phone number, password, WeChat binding, and login devices |
2 | Preference Settings | Define default name, window, browser, operating system, User-Agent, common settings, and fingerprint for new profiles |
3 | Local Settings | Manage startup, close behavior, memory limit, RPA tasks, cache directory, and system logs on the current device |
4 | Global Settings | Save user-level browser window, cookie, badge, and startup page settings that synchronize with the remote account configuration |
5 | Menu Settings | Desktop only; configure sidebar and tab navigation visibility and order and optionally save them remotely |
