# Saved Settings
### Overview
Assuming the same browser is used, then some settings will be remembered when you next log in. These are known as saved or persistent settings. Two users on the same machine can have different settings saved.
This page details which settings remain only for the rest of the session and which are persisted (meaning they remain when you next log in).
### Network Explorer
You can collapse/hide the Network Explorer panel completely.
You can also adjust the width of the panel by hovering over the blue line on the right until the cursor changes.
These settings stay in place for the remainder of the session but will reset to default (Network Explorer visible and at default width of 281 pixels) when you next log in.
Use this button to expand the Network Explorer tree if it's collapsed.
