Open **Settings** to manage your accounts, change how Fabricator looks, where new projects are created, how diagnostics are captured, and whether experimental features are visible. Settings groups its options into **General**, **Appearance**, **Diagnostics**, **Experiments**, and **About**. Each option shows its name and what it does, with its control on the right. ![The Settings dialog: Accounts, Setup and Workspace folder under General, then Theme, Text size and Ray under Appearance, and Updates.](https://spatney.github.io/rayfin-fabricator/screenshots/settings.webp) ## Accounts **Accounts** lists the services Fabricator signs in to: GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Fabric, the Azure CLI, and GitHub. Select **Manage accounts** to see who you're signed in as, sign in or out, and add or switch between Fabric, Azure CLI and GitHub accounts. See [Manage your accounts](https://spatney.github.io/rayfin-fabricator/docs/start/accounts). ## Theme **Theme** controls the app's color theme. | Option | What it does | | --- | --- | | **System** | Follows your operating system light or dark setting. This is the default. | | **Dark** | Uses Fabricator's dark theme. | | **Light** | Uses Fabricator's light theme. | ## Text size **Text size** scales the whole interface. The choices are 100%, 110%, 125%, and 150%. The default is 100%. Use this when Fabricator is hard to read on a large or high-DPI monitor. The setting is saved as the UI scale and is clamped by the app between `80%` and `200%` when stored. ## Interface zoom in the status bar The status bar has an **Interface zoom** menu with the same values as **Text size**. Changing it updates the same setting and also scales the design tools. ## Workspace folder **Workspace folder** shows where Fabricator creates new projects. The default is a `RayfinProjects` folder in your home directory. Select **Change…** to pick a different folder. This changes where new projects are created; it does not move existing project folders. ## Usage stats **Usage stats** is an informational note under **Diagnostics**. In the app, it says: > We send your sign-in domain and a hashed email so we can see how the product is used. Your email, code, and apps stay on this device. Telemetry is only active when a build includes a telemetry connection string. See [Privacy and telemetry](https://spatney.github.io/rayfin-fabricator/docs/reference/privacy). ## Setup **Setup** reopens the setup screen, which checks the tools Fabricator needs and can install missing ones, such as the optional GitHub CLI. Select **Open setup**. Until every check passes, setup offers **Back to Fabricator**. See [Set up and sign in](https://spatney.github.io/rayfin-fabricator/docs/start/setup). ## Diagnostics Diagnostics are saved on this device under the logs folder. **Diagnostics** also holds **Usage stats**, and its **Logs** row has **Export diagnostics** and **Open logs folder**. ### Full diagnostics **Full diagnostics** is off by default. When it is off, Fabricator records lightweight chat-turn metadata such as timing, model, mode, tool names, outcomes, errors, attachment count, files modified, and whether deploy ran. When **Full diagnostics** is on, Fabricator also captures prompts, responses, and tool output for each chat turn. Text fields are truncated before they are saved. Turn this on only when you need a more detailed bug report. ### Export diagnostics **Export diagnostics** creates a Markdown diagnostics bundle in the logs folder and opens that folder. The bundle includes environment details, recent chat-turn diagnostics, and recent crash or hang log entries. You decide whether to attach it to a bug report. ### Open logs folder **Open logs folder** opens the local logs folder without creating a new export. ## Experiments **Experiments** is collapsed by default. It includes features that are off by default and may change or be removed. ### Team workspaces **Team workspaces** lets you build apps with a team in a private GitHub repository. Everyone works on their own copy, and a pipeline publishes to Fabric with a deploy identity that Fabricator sets up. Team apps never deploy from this computer. This experiment needs the GitHub CLI. > [!WARNING] > Team workspaces are an experiment. Turn them on in **Settings → Experiments**. They may change or be removed in a future update. ### Deploy manually **Deploy manually** stops chat turns from deploying your app. Your changes stay on this computer until you select **Redeploy**, and the preview shows them from a local Vite server whenever the app is open. While it's on, the status bar switches between **Manual deploy** and **Auto deploy**. Team apps aren't affected: they still save after each turn. See [Deploy manually](https://spatney.github.io/rayfin-fabricator/docs/ship/deploy#deploy-manually). > [!WARNING] > Deploy manually is an experiment. Turn it on in **Settings → Experiments**. It may change or be removed in a future update. ## About **About** is the last section in Settings. It shows the installed Fabricator version and the Tauri, WebView2, and Copilot CLI versions it runs with. When the Copilot CLI has updated itself past the version that came with Fabricator, both are shown, for example `1.0.98 (bundled 1.0.96)`. Select **Copy** to copy the versions for a bug report, one per line: ```text Fabricator Tauri WebView2 Copilot CLI ``` The exact Tauri, WebView2, and Copilot CLI values depend on the build and your computer. **Help** has **Documentation** and **Troubleshooting**, which open these docs in your browser. You don't need to check for updates yourself. Fabricator checks when it starts, every 4 hours while it's open, and as soon as your connection comes back after a check failed. See [Updates](https://spatney.github.io/rayfin-fabricator/docs/start/install#updates).
