Control & safety
Settings reference
Every setting, its default and what it does, grouped the way the Settings tab shows them.
Open Settings with the ⚙ tab in the panel. Changes save as soon as you make them. A ↺ appears next to any setting that differs from its default; click it to reset just that one. The Key column is the name used when you copy or import settings.
License
Shown once a key is entered: your license status, the masked key and Manage subscription; the linked EA account and how many of your seats are used, with Unlink; and Remove key. See License, trial & billing.

Starting setups, copy, import and reset
In Settings → Defaults:
- Starting setup → Choose… applies one of the starting setups. It only changes settings, and asks first when it would overwrite ones you changed. Needs the bot to be stopped.
- Copy puts all your settings on the clipboard as text, to back them up or share them.
- Import reads copied settings from the clipboard (or asks you to paste them) and shows how many it will import. Only known settings with the right type are imported; anything else is skipped and counted.
- Reset all puts every setting back to its default.
Import and Reset all need the bot to be stopped. Neither touches your targets, filters, license or history.
