# Settings ## Restart after changing settings Changes to most of the Tasks settings take immediate effect. Regrettably, a few require the vault to be reloaded. These settings are marked with `REQUIRES RESTART`. ## 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]] - [[Layout#Task count location|Search results]] ## Support Before creating a new bug report or feature request about Settings, please check existing items to avoid duplicates. You do not need to search manually: the links below are already filtered to the label `"scope: settings"`. - Check both Open and Closed items. - If you find an existing item, support it there instead of adding a `+1` comment.
