# Control Panel Settings File

> What each setting in the control panel's settings.json controls.

The [control panel](/guides/control-panel#settings) stores its settings in `~/.almond/settings.json` on the robot host and applies them to every operation it launches. This page maps each stored key to the config parameter it sets, so you know what you're editing when you **Export** / **Import** that file.

Values set here sit between the built-in defaults and anything you pass on the command line: **defaults → control panel → `--config_path` file → CLI flags**, later wins.

Everything else is under the **Advanced** tab, stored under keys that mirror the config sections: `axol.*` (robot), `vr_teleop.*` (teleop session), `kinematics.*`, `jelly.*`, `vr_server.*`, and `lerobot.*` (the `robot_config.*` fields). One stored value applies to every operation that has that subsystem.
