# Chat widget settings

> Chat widget settings: name and domains, the look with a live preview, texts and languages, news, the knowledge base and user recognition.

Each chat widget's settings are in Settings, Chat widgets. Changes show on your site at once; there is no code to change.

## General

The name (you see it in the inbox), the allowed domains, "Allow localhost" for development, and a switch that turns the widget off for a while. Deleting the widget is here too: only an owner can do it, and the widget goes with its settings.

## Install

The embed code with your key, the platform steps and a check that the widget has loaded on your site. See [Embed code, React and CSP](https://hrc.lt/en/docs/widget/install).

## Appearance

The color, a light or dark theme (or the visitor's browser setting) and the other look settings. Next to them you see a live preview of what the visitor gets.

## Texts and languages

The greeting, the reply time and the launcher label for each language. You add languages here. How the widget picks a language: [Languages](https://hrc.lt/en/docs/widget/languages).

## News and Knowledge base

The News tab shows customers what changed. On the Knowledge base tab you link a knowledge base so customers find articles in the widget. See [Knowledge base in the chat widget](https://hrc.lt/en/docs/knowledge-base/in-the-widget).

## User recognition

Recognizing signed-in users, the identity key and the "Signed-in users only" mode. See [Identity verification](https://hrc.lt/en/docs/widget/identity-verification).
