# LaunchNext Settings

This page is the practical entry point for all LaunchNext settings.

![LaunchNext Settings](https://github.com/RoversX/LaunchNext/raw/main/public/setting2.webp)

## Open settings

1. Open LaunchNext.
2. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner.
3. Use the left sidebar to switch sections.

## First-Time Setup Path

If this is your first day with LaunchNext, use this order:

1. [General](https://docs.closex.org/launchnext/settings/general.md) for startup behavior, import, `Enable CLI code`, and reset-safe basics.
2. [Appearance](https://docs.closex.org/launchnext/settings/appearance.md) for layout density, motion, and visual style.
3. [Performance](https://docs.closex.org/launchnext/settings/performance.md) if you want to tune memory use or renderer behavior.
4. [Shortcut & Gesture](https://docs.closex.org/launchnext/settings/shortcuts.md) for the global hotkey, Dock drag, Hot Corner, scroll and paging direction, and experimental trackpad gestures.
5. [Backup](https://docs.closex.org/launchnext/settings/backup.md) before large layout edits.
6. [Updates and Troubleshooting](https://docs.closex.org/launchnext/updates-and-troubleshooting.md) before you start manual updater cleanup.
