Preferences and local data

Open Settings from the sidebar to manage the choices that affect how OtterDesk feels and behaves on this computer.

General

  • Choose whether OtterDesk starts when you sign in.
  • Choose Light, Dark, or your system theme.
  • Turn on optional test substitutes for Test now.

Archived

Review co-workers you have archived. Their local history remains available until you permanently remove them.

Resources

Check local or cluster capacity, add a trusted computer, and review runtime health.

Updates

Choose whether OtterDesk checks for updates and whether eligible runtime components can update automatically.

These settings are intended for normal supervision. If a setting affects a co-worker's mission, configure that co-worker directly from My Team instead.
