Developer Preferences
Developer preferences allow developers to configure certain behavior while developing Applications, Workflows, and Scheduled Jobs in Superblocks. These settings are editor-specific, meaning they only impact the Superblocks IDE and have no impact on deployed tools.
These preferences are stored in the user's browser via local storage. This means any preferences are:
- Specific to the developer and are not shared across the account
- Persisted as the developer switches between applications
You can access developer preferences from the left sidebar navigation, by clicking the gear icon and selecting Preferences.
caution
Since preferences are stored in your browser, clearing your browser cache will reset any preferences to default.
