== Sync Behavior ==
Starting in version 1.6, settings are automatically synced between instances of MatterControl which are signed in to the same [[MatterHackers.com account]]. Updating a setting in one instance will automatically change the setting in all other instances.
== Overlays ==
Settings are highlighted for a couple of reasons:
=== Presets ===
[[File:Preset Highlights.png|right|framed|<center>Both a quality and material preset are applied.</center>]]When a preset is enabled, the affected settings are highlighted in the color associated with the type of preset. See the [[#Preset Menus|Preset Menus]] section below for more information.

=== Change from default ===
[[File:Setting changed.gif|right|framed|<center>Changing a setting from the default will highlight it in blue.</center>]]Whenever a setting is manually changed from the profile default, a blue highlight appears over the setting and an 'X' icon appears to the right. Clicking the X will restore the default value.

Many printer profiles come pre-configured with presets for common filaments and quality settings. The availability of these presets varies widely depending on the printer manufacturers and MatterHackers' internal test and support department.

== ProfileOptions... Menu ==
[[File:Profile Options... Menu.png|framed|right|<center>The '''ProfileOptions...''' Menu</center>]]The '''ProfileOptions...''' menu has four five functions: [[#Show Help|Show Help]], Import, Export, Restore Settings, and Reset to defaults.
*'''Import''' allows the user to load a slice settings file (.slice, .ini, .printer) into MatterControl. Any existing values will be replaced by those in the file.
*'''Export''' allows the user to save all current slice settings values to file.
*'''Restore Settings''' opens the 'Restore Settings' window, allowing the user to select from the last ten automatically-saved configurations and restore one.
*'''Reset to defaults''' resets all settings back to their default values taken from the printer profile.
