# Settings

Configure global settings that apply to all your forms. Set your default branding, connect your SMS provider for text notifications, set data retention rules, and manage notification defaults.

These settings are for admins. Most users won't need to change them.

## Steps

1. Go to **Settings** in the sidebar.
2. Click **Forms Settings** (under the Proforge Forms section).
3. Configure each section as needed (see below).
4. Click **Save** when you're done.

## Settings Reference

### Default Branding

Set the default logo, colors, and font for new forms. Individual forms can override these, but setting defaults here saves time when you create new forms.

* **Default Logo** — Upload your company logo. New forms will use this logo automatically.
* **Primary Color** — Your main brand color, used for buttons and accents.
* **Default Font** — The font used on all new forms.

### Notification Defaults

Set the default notification recipients and preferences for new forms.

* **Default Email Recipients** — Email addresses that receive notifications for all new forms by default.
* **Default SMS Recipients** — Phone numbers that receive SMS alerts for all new forms by default.
* **Customer Confirmation** — Turn on by default for all new forms, and set the default confirmation message.

### Twilio SMS Integration

Connect your Twilio account to send SMS notifications and customer confirmations by text.

1. Create a [Twilio account](https://www.twilio.com) if you don't have one.
2. Copy your **Account SID**, **Auth Token**, and **Phone Number** from your Twilio dashboard.
3. Paste them into the corresponding fields in Forms Settings.
4. Click **Test Connection** to verify it works.
5. Click **Save**.

### Data Retention

Control how long form submission data is kept.

* **Retention Period** — Choose how long to keep submissions (30 days, 90 days, 1 year, forever).
* **Auto-delete attachments** — Optionally delete uploaded files after the retention period expires to save storage.

## Tips

* **Set up Twilio early.** SMS notifications are the fastest way to know about new leads, especially when you're in the field.
* **Set default branding once** and every new form will match your company's look automatically.
* **Review your retention settings** to make sure you're keeping data as long as you need it for your business and any legal requirements.
