# Changing CVS team settings

You can customize the settings related to a number of CVS team views and operations.

1. From the main menu bar, select Window > Preferences.
2. On the left side of the Preferences window, select the Team category.
3. You will see a number of general Team options. These options can be used by any Eclipse integrated repository. In our case, they are all applicable to CVS.
4. You will also see a CVS category. Select it. You will see various CVS options. If you expand the CVS category, you will see additional CVS preference pages.
5. Underneath the CVS category are several subcategories. For example, there are sections for Watch/Edit, Console, Label Decorations and SSH2 among others.

In the Preferences dialog, you can search by keywords such as CVS or SSH2 in order to show only the relevant pages.
