# Settings

The Settings dialog lets users manage their proofreading preferences. It contains these sections: **General**, **Options** (ignore rules), **Languages**, **Dictionaries**, and **About**.

| Section      | What users can do                                                                                                 | Admin options                                                              |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| General      | Enable or disable spelling autocorrect, autocomplete suggestions, style guide, spelling, and grammar suggestions. | Hide the section to lock users into predefined settings.                   |
| Options      | Configure ignore rules for all-caps words, domain names, mixed case words, and words with numbers.                | Predefine ignore rules for all users.                                      |
| Languages    | Select the default language for checking.                                                                         | Set a predefined language and hide the section.                            |
| Dictionaries | Add and remove words, create and manage user dictionaries.                                                        | Hide dictionary management, set a predefined dictionary.                   |
| About        | View WProofreader version and copyright info.                                                                     | Remove with `removeBranding: true` (self-hosted and advanced Cloud plans). |

#### Hiding sections

To hide specific sections, list only the ones you want to keep using the `settingsSections` parameter. Default: `['dictionaries', 'languages', 'general', 'options']`. The About section can't be removed through this option (use `removeBranding` instead).

```js
settingsSections: ['languages', 'dictionaries', 'options'],
```

#### Hiding dictionary management

To prevent users from creating, renaming, or deleting dictionaries while still allowing them to add and remove words:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/dF2woacoTpc7USAjtzJX" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

```js
disableDictionariesPreferences: true,
```

#### Removing branding

For paid plans, branding is removed automatically. The `removeBranding` option is enabled by default for self-hosted and paid cloud subscriptions.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/xRzya3uhO8wtxk4lZvhl" alt="" width="265"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

If you need to explicitly control it:

```js
removeBranding: true,
```
