Note:
Values of the Quick Access buttons are saved separately for each mode (Standalone and Instructor). The user selected Quick Access configurations will be only affected for the current mode (under current application). For an example if user select the Quick Access buttons under Strike Instructor mode that will save and load if and only if user run the Strike application in Instructor mode.

User can change the default settings and save the changes by clicking on ‘Apply’ button or by selecting ‘Save Changes’ from the right click menu of the corresponding panel. If the user closes the Preferences panel without saving the changes, the unsaved panels will be displayed as a list, so the user can select the desired panels and save the changes.
Note:
In Extra Options, user can save the changes even if Strike is not connected to VBS3. The user selected changes are saved into %USERPROFILE%\Documents\VBS3\VBS3Strike\firesOptions.xml and loaded in every Strike instance. If the .xml file is deleted by the user, default values will be loaded. Therefore, user can save changes of the Extra options and if Strike is restarted, the changes will be reflected in the new instance of Strike.
