Choose defaults you can live with

Small settings shape many ordinary interactions.

Notice repetition

Look for an action you repeat often, such as choosing a view or dismissing a panel. It may have a useful setting.

Change one thing

Read the setting description and try a reversible change. Keep account and team requirements in mind.

Review the result

Use the setup for a few days. A preference is useful when it helps the real task, not only the first impression.
