# Customize Postman settings

Postman automatically chooses default values for some settings so you can get right to work. Make changes to settings at any time based on your use case or to customize your Postman experience.

You can [customize the Postman user interface](/docs/getting-started/installation/settings/general-settings/) to suit your preferences such as how Postman sends requests, or change the [working directory](/docs/getting-started/installation/settings/working-directory/), or user interface settings like using a two-pane view. You can also adapt Postman to your visual needs by [changing the theme](/docs/getting-started/installation/settings/theme-settings/).

[Customize keyboard shortcuts](/docs/getting-started/installation/settings/shortcut-settings/) and enable [Postman's AI features](/docs/getting-started/installation/settings/ai-settings/). You can also [import data files](/docs/getting-started/installation/settings/data-settings/), install [Postman add-ons](/docs/getting-started/installation/settings/add-ons/), [manage certificates](/docs/getting-started/installation/settings/certificates/), [manage accounts and tokens](/docs/getting-started/installation/settings/connected-accounts/) used to authorize Postman with third-party services, and [configure proxy settings](/docs/getting-started/installation/settings/proxy-settings/) to connect to online services.
