Advanced Settings

This section contains advanced settings for power users and those that may wish to tweak some of JourneyMap’s internals.

Warning

The settings in this section can have extreme effects on the performance of your client. We don’t recommend touching these settings unless you have a good understanding of what you’re doing, or you’re directed to do so by a member of the JourneyMap support staff.

If tweaking these settings crashes your client or causes your computer to lag horribly, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
