__TOC__

Many Protege 4.x features can be configured using the inbuilt preferences.
Preferences are stored in a system-specific way and are persistent across new installations of the tool.

Find them under '''File | Preferences'''.

Installed plugins may add further panels to this dialog. Below is a list of the default preferences:

== Annotations ==

Control over the visibility of given annotations.

== Find / Search ==

Control over how the find / search functionality behaves. eg searching using full regular expressions can be slow for large ontologies.

== New Entities ==

Control how URIs and labels get generated when creating new classes/properties and individuals (including automatic ID formulation).

Also see [[Protege4NamingAndRendering#New_entity_creation_preferences | New Entity Preferences]] for a more detailed description of these preferences.

== New Ontologies ==

Control over the default behaviour when creating ontologies from scratch.

== Renderer ==

Control over how entities are displayed in Protege 4.x.

Firstly, how to generate the short ''human readable'' version of an entity - whether to use part of its URI or perhaps a label stored in an annotation value (also see [[Protege4NamingAndRendering]]).

Secondly, control over highlighting of certain syntactic or structural information.

Thirdly, fonts used to display entities in views.

== Tree Preferences ==

How deep to open up hierarchies when they are first shown.

== Usage ==

Control over what axioms are shown in the usage views. Hiding some axioms can make the view more concise.

'''Simple subclass axioms''' subclass axioms that have a named superclass or for which the current class is the superclass

== XML Writer ==

Control over the form of XML serialisations (eg whether or not to use XML entities to shorten file length).
