Settings persistently store states that control the behavior and appearance of IntelliJ Platform-based IDEs. On this page, the term "Settings" means the same as "Preferences" on some platforms.

Plugins can create and store Settings to capture their configuration in a way that uses the IntelliJ Platform Persistence Model. The User Interface (UI) for these custom Settings can be added to the IDE Settings dialog.

Settings can affect different levels of scope. This document describes adding custom Settings at the Project and Application (or Global, IDE) levels.
