# Editing components

This topic provides generic information about Discovery Framework component editing. For detailed information about configuring specific components, see the component documentation.

By editing Discovery Framework components, you further customize your end users' experience. For example, you can specify what data source backs a given component, what set of attributes end users have access to, or what style of chart they will see.

1. In the component's title bar, click ...., and then click Preferences.

   The component's editor appears.
2. Edit the settings for the component. If the component has a Save Preferences or an Apply button, make sure to click it after you have made your changes.
