# Changing API Tooling options

The options can be changed per project or per workspace.

1. First you need to open the preference page. Do one of the following according to the desired scope:
   - for the project scope, right-click a project and select Properties. Then go to Plug-in Development > API Errors/Warnings
   - for the workspace scope, go to the Plug-in Development > API Errors/Warnings preference page.
2. Select the tab for which you want to modify an option:
   - API Use: for options related to API usage (unsupported tags, API restrictions, API leaks).
   - API Compatibility: for options related to compatibility issues. They are sorted per type of element.
   - Version Management: for options related to invalid, missing, malformed @since tags or incorrect plug-in versions)
3. All options of a page can be reset to the default values by clicking on Restore Defaults.
4. Use the buttons insider the Set All As group to modify all options of the page to a specific value.
