# Preferences
Use the Preferences window to adjust LinkrUI defaults.
LinkrUI allows you to set and change some default settings in the Preferences window.
The default preferences work well for most users, but you can change them at any time.
Select the main menu icon 
→ Preferences to open the preference window.
## Edit preferences
Preferences includes the following:
* Thumbnail Size
* Transparency Grid
- Search
* Convert Asset
* Local Asset Cache Purge Interval
* Local Asset Cache Folder
* Check Remote Link Status
* Link Updates
* Show Import Options
* Proxy Server
* Default Preferences
{% hint style="info" %}
Available preferences vary depending on the DAM and application. Unsupported options do not appear.
{% endhint %}
### Thumbnail size
The default size to view assets is 120.
Drag the slider to increase or decrease the thumbnail size.
The minimum size is 100.
The maximum size is 240.
### Transparency grid
You can show or hide the transparency grid in previews.
The Transparency Grid option adds a checkerboard background to thumbnails of assets that have a transparent background.
This option is off by default.
When enabled, this option displays a grid pattern on the thumbnails of any assets that have a transparent background.
### Proxy server
If your network environment uses a proxy, you can enter your HTTP proxy server in LinkrUI to ensure a successful connection between your environment and the DAM.
Input Proxy server: Enter your proxy server in the Proxy Server URL field.
Verify Connection: Select Test Connection to check that LinkrUI can successfully connect to the specified server.
### Check remote link status
This setting checks the status of remote links against the DAM in the background. If another user makes changes, the app notifies you when this setting is enabled.
By default, links are checked every 10 minutes. You can change this to every 1, 2, 5, or 30 minutes.
When **Check Remote Link Status** is enabled, **Link Updates** is also enabled. When **Check Remote Link Status** is disabled, **Link Updates** is also disabled.
If this setting is off while you work, turning it back on later triggers a new remote link check and updates any changes.
Background checks for many links can slow down the app, so you may want to disable this setting when working with multiple links.
### Show Import Options
{% hint style="info" %}
This setting is exclusive for InDesign.
{% endhint %}
When you place a PSD, INND, AI, or PDF file in InDesign with **Show Import Options** enabled, the **Import Options** dialog opens. Use this dialog to choose the artboard or layers to place.
**Show Import Options** is enabled by default in LinkrUI.
Clear **Show Import Options** when you do not want InDesign to open the dialog during placement.
### Default preferences
The Default Preferences Button resets all user-defined settings to their default values.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.santacruzsoftware.com/linkrui/preferences.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
