# Settings Overview

> Understand the difference between central settings and project settings in Aiola.

## Two settings layers

Aiola splits settings into:

* **Central settings** for app-wide behavior
* **Project settings** for one workspace only

That separation matters because analytics, feedback, API keys, Git, MCP, and environment files are all project-specific, while timezone and provider availability are global.

## Central settings

Central settings cover app-wide preferences such as:

* your account and subscription
* send-message behavior
* default open destination
* timezone
* provider availability and ordering
* appearance
* keybinds
* usage

Timezone is especially important because Aiola reuses it across analytics, calendar views, and scheduling.

## Project settings

Each workspace has its own settings area. Current project settings include:

* **General** for workspace logo, default agent, provider, model, reasoning, context window, and permission mode
* **API Key** for the project key used by Feedback, App Logs, and related integrations
* **Feedback**
* **App Logs**
* **Analytics**
* **Integrations**
* **Environment Variables**
* **Git**
* **MCP Servers**
* **Instructions**
* **Tasks**
* **Archived Threads**

## Workspace deletion

Deleting a workspace is not just a local action. Aiola can also clean up related cloud data for that project, including:

* analytics
* feedback
* app logs
* API keys
* sourcemaps

Review those options carefully before deleting a workspace.

## Recommended mental model

Use **Central settings** when you want Aiola itself to behave differently.

Use **Project settings** when you want one product or repository to behave differently from another.
