# Editing the Windows Client Configuration
> A tab-by-tab map of the Editing Client page for Windows Clients, linking each tab to the detailed parameter page that covers it.
The **Editing Client** page for a Windows Client is split across many tabs. This page maps each tab to what it configures and where the detailed guide for it lives — useful because those guides are split across the **Administration** and **Session Monitoring** tabs of this documentation, matching how the settings themselves are organized (recording-related parameters vs. everything else).
## Before you start
Log in to the Management Tool as a user with the [Client Configuration Management permission](/docs/administration/users/client-permissions), click **Clients**, and click the Windows Client's name in the **Client Name** column.
Use the Search box and filters at the top of the Clients tab to find a specific Client quickly.
On the **Properties** tab, the **Settings Type** drop-down determines whether this Client's settings are **Custom** (edited individually) or **Inherited from \** (locked, and updated automatically whenever the [Client group's configuration](/docs/administration/clients/client-groups#edit-a-client-group) changes).
After editing any tab, click **Next** to proceed to Client group membership, permissions, and alert assignment, then click **Finish**. Changes apply immediately to online Clients, and as soon as an offline Client reconnects.
