# UI settings

UI settings controls the CrossWatch web app.

Use it to change dashboard cards, sign-in behavior, protocol, and CW Tracker defaults.

Most changes apply after you click **Save**.

Protocol and TLS changes need a restart.

### Sections

Use these pages:

* [User interface](/crosswatch/navigation/ui-settings/user-interface.md) — dashboard cards, Help ASK AI visibility, and HTTP/HTTPS mode
* [Security](/crosswatch/navigation/ui-settings/security.md) — local login, session duration, session cleanup, Plex sign-in, and trusted proxies
* [CW Tracker](/crosswatch/navigation/ui-settings/cw-tracker.md) — retention, auto snapshots, and tracker snapshot selectors

{% hint style="info" %}
Use [HTTPS/TLS](/crosswatch/navigation/ui-settings/user-interface/https-tls.md) for certificate trust, reverse proxy advice, and HTTPS troubleshooting.
{% endhint %}
