To customize these preferences to create personal user (browser) preferences,

make a copy of this page somewhere, preferably as Profiles.insert_your_name_here-Preferences
edit that page with your new preferred settings,
select Set Preferences of this Page on the page containing your newly created settings.

This sets a preference cookie on your browser which tells PmWiki where to find your personal preference settings.

To revert to the PmWiki default preferences

unset the preference cookie and revert to PmWiki's default preferences, viz
select Revert to PmWiki Default Preferences.
