What Builder Preferences Control
Settings includes preferences for how Domandata feels while you build: appearance, readability, question type organization, Flow Canvas behavior, auto-suggest, default survey setup, keyboard shortcuts, Auto Tidy, and notifications.
Use these preferences to reduce repeated setup work and make the editor match how your team builds surveys. They change your working environment; they do not replace the need to preview the respondent-facing survey.

When Preferences Matter Most
- Large surveys: Flow Canvas and Auto Tidy preferences can make routing easier to inspect.
- Repeated instruments: default survey settings reduce setup time for similar studies.
- Keyboard-heavy editing: shortcuts and command-palette habits speed up adding questions and switching tabs.
- Team demos or teaching: display and readability preferences help the app remain legible on shared screens.
- Notification-heavy projects: notification preferences help separate useful alerts from background noise.

Recheck Respondent Output
Most Settings preferences affect the builder, not the participant-facing survey. After changing preferences, still use Preview to confirm page breaks, mobile layout, accessibility, and Flow paths from the respondent's perspective.
