Configuring Studio

Various parts and features of Studio can be configured to suit your needs. This can be done in the following ways:

• By enabling or disabling features in the Management Console. This is a user-friendly way of changing some of the configuration settings.
• By manually modifying configuration files. Through these files all settings can be configured and easily transferred when upgrading to a newer version of Studio.

Enabling or disabling features in the Management Console

To ease the process of configuring Studio, certain features can be enabled or disabled by using the Management Console.

Step 1. In Studio Server, access the Management Console for Studio by clicking Integrations > Studio.

Step 2. In the menu, choose Features.

The Features page appears, showing all features that can be enabled or disabled through this page.

Figure: The Features page in the Management Console can be used for enabling or disabling specific features.

Step 3. For each feature, verify if it needs to be enabled or disabled.

Step 4. Let the Studio users log out and log back in for these changes to take effect.

Enabling upcoming features

New features and improvements are added to Studio on a regular basis.

When development for a specific feature is nearing completion, WoodWing can make it available before it is officially released. It is then included as a 'pre-release' in a regular release of Studio.

The features are 'unlocked' through the 'Enable upcoming features' option in the General section. This option is enabled by default.

Features could be completely new, or replace an existing feature.

If the feature is not working properly or the feature it replaces is preferred, the option can be disabled.

Note: This will disable all pre-release features that have been made available through this option.

At some later point, the feature is officially released and made part of the core functionality. It is then not affected by the 'Enable upcoming features' option anymore.

The following table shows the features that this option unlocks and which version of Studio this affects:

Manually modifying configuration files

Info: Performing the described steps requires direct server access. Depending upon how your system is hosted and the level of access you have to that system, coordination may be required with your Partner or WoodWing Support team. For a full overview of the steps that need to be done by WoodWing and how to request them, see WoodWing Cloud - Change management.

Configuring Studio can also be done by directly modifying the configuration files that are part of Studio and the Studio Server instance in which Studio is installed.

Tip: To edit these files, open them in a plain-text editor such as Notepad, TextEdit, or TextWrangler.
