ZEC is preconfigured with default settings, so generally there is no need to change the server settings. However, some users may want to change specific settings to meet their specific needs.

At the top right of the Settings screen, you can manage your overall configuration using the following buttons:

- **Export** - Downloads the current ZEC configuration, allowing you to back up your settings or easily migrate them to another ZEC instance.
- **Import** - Uploads a previously saved configuration file to apply those settings to the server.
- **Delete Settings** - Clears custom configurations and restores the server to its default state.

Note that, depending on the hardware and platform of the system ZEC is installed on, some settings may be hidden as not applicable.
