# Settings map

Every pane in Studio's Settings, grouped as the app groups them, with what each one holds and the page that explains it.

*Where in Studio: Studio → Settings*

*Last updated: 2026-10-25*

Open Settings with **⌘,**, from **Kelrova → Settings…** in the menu bar, or from **Settings** in the account menu under your avatar at the bottom of the navigation rail. Settings opens as a window over your chats. The panes sit in three groups in the left column, and **About** sits at the foot of that column beside the version.

## About

**About** shows the version, the update state with **Check for updates**, and **Check automatically**, which looks for a new release every half hour. Updates never install on their own: you choose when to restart. While **Check automatically** is off, no update request is made at all. The pane also holds the **License** and **Third-party notices**.

See [Signed updates](https://kelrova.com/docs/studio/trust/updates) and, for servers, [Keep servers up to date](https://kelrova.com/docs/studio/devices/updates).
