# Configuration settings🌟

T4I configuration can be stored using two methods: in *registry* or *XML* file.

## Registry configuration

Configuration is stored in the key `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Holixa\T4I`.

If needed, this branch can be [exported](https://help.holixa.com/holixa-tools4inventor/commands-overview/be.smart-t4i/export-settings) from the registry and provided to other users to import the T4I settings.

T4I settings can be imported to the registry by double-clicking on the exported file.

{% hint style="info" %}

## XML file configuration

If an XML file should be used for the configuration of T4I, it is necessary to provide a path to the XML file containing the T4I configuration settings.
