# A tour of the settings screen
> What's on each tab of Settings → AjaxPress, how saving works, and the shortcuts that save time.
Source: https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/settings-screen/
All of AjaxPress is configured on one screen: **Settings → AjaxPress**. This page shows you around it. For every setting and its default, see the [settings reference](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/settings-reference/).
## The tabs
| Tab | What's there |
| --- | --- |
| **Basic** | The main switch, [Enable SPA for Frontend](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/instant-navigation/), and the navigation options: prefetch, admin bypass, keyboard reload, login handling, and SPA for the dashboard (before WordPress 7.0) |
| **Media Players** | [Auto-detect, the Media Players list and Check my player](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/media-players/): keep audio and video playing across pages |
| **Animations** | The [loading indicator](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/loaders-and-transitions/), the [loading cursor](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/loading-cursor/), [Scroll to Top Smoothly](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/scroll-to-top/) and [page transitions](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/page-transitions/), with a live preview |
| **Cache** | [Super Cache by Cloudflare](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/cloudflare-super-cache/) |
| **Advanced** | [Exclude Links](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/exclude-links/), [Custom CSS](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/custom-css/), and the [Tools](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/export-import-and-reset-settings/) to export, import and reset your settings |
| **License** | Your [AjaxPress Pro license](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/manage-your-license/), plans and pricing |
| **Help** | Pinned at the bottom of the sidebar: a guided tour, video tutorials, a developer reference, troubleshooting tips, the changelog, and feedback |
Settings marked with a **Pro** badge need [AjaxPress Pro](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/ajaxpress-pro/). Without it you can see them, but not change them.
## Saving your changes
When you change a setting, **Save Settings** and **Discard** appear at the top of the screen.
- **Save Settings** saves every change you've made, on any tab. You can also press Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on a Mac).
- **Discard** puts everything back the way it was when you last saved.
- If you try to leave with unsaved changes, AjaxPress asks whether to **Save & Continue** or **Discard** them.
Two switches on the Basic tab work differently, because they change the screen itself:
- **Enable SPA for Frontend** saves the moment you flip it.
- **Enable SPA for Admin Dashboard** saves and then reloads the settings screen. (WordPress 7.0 and newer don't show it.)
> [!TIP]
> After saving, clear your page cache (your caching plugin, your host's cache, or Cloudflare) so visitors get the new settings straight away.
## The live preview
The **Animations** tab has a preview panel beside the settings. It shows your loader, cursor and page transition as you change them, before you save. On a phone, tap the **Preview** button at the bottom of the screen to open it.
## Take the tour
New to AjaxPress, or want a refresher? Open **Help → Getting Started** and choose **Quick** or **Extended** tour. It highlights the main settings one at a time and explains what each one does.
## Search the help
On the **Help** tab, click **Search** or press Ctrl+/ (Cmd+/ on a Mac) to search the tutorials, the developer reference and the troubleshooting tips.
## The diagnostics bar
The first time you open the settings, a bar asks whether you'll share diagnostic data with us. Choose **Allow** or **Deny**. Nothing is shared unless you allow it, and you can change your answer under **Help → Feedback** at any time. [Privacy and data](https://arraystory.com/docs/ajaxpress/privacy-and-data/) lists exactly what is sent.
