# Settings

## General

**Development mode** - Enable to display quick access links on the front end and to make error messages more detailed (for admins only).

**File system storage** - Enable to store *Layouts* and *Post Selections* data inside the theme folder (instead of the database). This allows you to edit files using your favorite editor (IDE), and do version control with auto sync. [Read more](https://docs.advanced-views.com/templates/file-system-storage)

**Disable automatic reports** - Automatic error and usage reports to developers, enabling faster issue resolution and plugin improvement. The reports do not include any private or sensitive information.

## Defaults

Web components type - Controls the web component setting for new *Layouts* and *Post Selections*. It has options for Classic (no CSS isolation), Declarative Shadow DOM (CSS isolated, server-side), JS Shadow DOM (CSS isolated, client-side) and None.

Classes generation - Controls classes generation in the Default Template for new *Layouts* and *Post Selections*. It has options for choosing the BEM style, the default and None.

## Git repositories (Pro)

By saving *Layouts* and *Post Selections* in your GitLab repository (free tariff), you can create your own library and reuse them on other websites. [Read more](https://docs.advanced-views.com/templates/reusable-components-library-pro)
