# Settings ## Restart after changing settings Regrettably, many of the settings for customising Tasks require one of the following to be done, for the new options to take effect: - Obsidian to be restarted, - or the vault to be closed and re-opened. The Tasks Settings pane warns of this:  ## Available settings As the number of options in Tasks has grown, we have documented each setting in the page for the relevant topic. For convenience, here is a list of all those documentation pages (in the order the options appear in the Tasks Settings pane): - [[About Task Formats#Selecting the task format|Task Formats]] - [[Global Filter#Settings for the Global Filter|Global Filter]] - [[Global Query#Settings|Global Query]] - [[Status Settings#Overview|Status Settings]] - [[Dates#Date-tracking settings|Dates]] - [[Use Filename as Default Date#Settings|Use Filename as Default Date]] - [[Recurring Tasks#Recurrence Settings|Recurring Tasks]] - [[Auto-Suggest#Settings|Auto-Suggest]] - [[Create or edit Task#Turning off keyboard shortcuts|Create or edit Task modal]]
