Shine Forms has settings and options that let you control various features of the program. There are split into two areas:

- Options that apply to the whole of the program
- Options that apply to individual certificates.

# Shine Forms options

These options apply to the whole of the program and any newly created certificates.  You can access them from **Home Screen** by clicking **File** and then **Shine Forms Options**:
