You can also configure:
* **Sound alerts:** Toggle audio notifications on or off
* **Alert history:** View past alerts in chronological order
## Operator Profile
Set your pilot profile information:
* **Display name:** Your name shown in community features and flight logs
* **Certification level:** Your drone pilot certification (informational, not enforced)
* **Organization:** Company or team name
* **Notes:** Free-text field for personal notes
The operator profile is stored locally and optionally synced to the cloud when authenticated.
## Jurisdiction
Set your operating jurisdiction to configure region-specific defaults:
* **Altitude limits:** Sets default maximum altitude based on local regulations
* **Distance limits:** Sets default maximum distance for geofence suggestions
Available jurisdictions include FAA (United States), DGCA (India), CASA (Australia), EASA (Europe), and ICAO (global fallback).
## Persistence
All settings are stored in IndexedDB using Zustand's persist middleware. This means:
* Settings survive browser restarts
* Settings are specific to the browser/device
* Clearing browser data resets all settings
* Cloud sync (when authenticated) can back up and restore settings across devices
Export your settings to a JSON file as a backup before clearing browser data or switching devices.
## Parameter Panel Settings
The parameter browser has its own settings for column visibility and filter presets. These are covered in the [Parameters](/mission-control/parameters) page.
