 ====== Where my HippoEDIT configuration stored? ======
-HippoEDIT stores configuration in different files.
+HippoEDIT stores configuration in different files which can be found in [[scripting:api:settings:user-directory|User Directory]].
   * //hippoedit.config// - stores global IDE settings
   * //workspaces\default.hewsp// - Default workspace. Window positions and states, open files, recent files, input history etc for HE started standalone
   * //workspaces\viewer.hewsp// - Viewer workspace. Same as default.hewsp but for cases when HE started by double click from explorer (if --workspace=viewer passed in command line)
+  * //workspaces\auto\// - directory containing //auto// workspaces, created for current directory with [[general:command-line|command line parameter **w.**]]
+  * //workspaces\<workspace_name>.heclip// - clipboard content for specific workspace. The content is stored only in case, if there are more then one item in multi-clipboard (e.g you have copied several text blocks in text editor)
+  * //workspaces\<workspace_name>.heundo// - undo history for files currently open in workspace (stored between sessions). From 1.50.
   * //data\settings.xml// - editor settings
   * //data\autocorrect.xml// - autocorrection data

 Sometimes, if problem occurs in context of some specific syntax, it is better to to send also data\syntax\%you_syntax%_spec.xml + %you_syntax%_user.xml.
+====== Syntax settings ======
+As already written configuration/properties for specific syntax contained in 2 dedicated files
+===== <syntax>_spec.xml =====
+Contains basic syntax settings as:
+  * [[syntax:specification|Specification]] (case sensitive, file mask, open/close pairs etc)
+  * [[syntax:styles|Styles]] (how to highlight the text)
+  * [[syntax:scopes|Scopes]] (how to outline the text)
+  * [[syntax:labels|Labels]] (how to navigate through the text)
+<note important>Do not modify //spec// files of standard syntaxes - these files may be overwritten during updates and you will lose your changes (old files are saved in <file_name.extension>.old files aside). If you want to modify standard syntax schema, better copy it (changing //ID//) or create new one, inheriting existing</note>
+===== <syntax>_user.xml =====
+Contains user specific preference for syntax and in most cases delivered empty (or not delivered at all). These files are never overwritten by updates and left as they are after initial installation.
+//user// file contain:
+  * [[options:syntax:display|Visual preferences for syntax]]
+  * [[options:syntax:miscellaneous|User preference for file pattern]]
+  * [[options:syntax:code-templates|Code Templates]]
 ====== License file ======
-It is not possible to copy license.dat from one PC to another one. You need to re-register (enter your license key) in the second machine too. \\

 The only way to avoid this, if you initially install HE on a flash (remote) drive. In this case, license.dat would be bound to it.
