# Expert Configuration

Opens the Expert Configuration dialog for advanced settings and configuration of LibreOfficeDev. The Expert Configuration dialog allows user to access hundreds of LibreOfficeDev configuration preferences, and most of them are not available in the user interface or in the options dialogs.

The Expert Configuration dialog lets you access, edit and save configuration preferences that can harm your LibreOfficeDev user profile. It can turn the user profile of LibreOfficeDev unstable, inconsistent or even unusable. Proceed only if you know what you are doing.

To access this command...

#### From the menu bar:

Choose LibreOfficeDev - Preferences Tools - Options- LibreOfficeDev - Advanced - Open Expert Configuration.

#### From the tabbed interface:

On the Tools tab click on the Options button, then LibreOfficeDev - Advanced - Open Expert Configuration.

The expert configuration does not modify the LibreOfficeDev system installation in your computer.
