The Settings tab is where Project Admins update critical project details. Users who are not Project Admins are not able to view this page.

Notifications settings |
Project Admins can choose to enable or disable project-level notifications. Enabling the "Send email when tasks are created or updated" setting will ensure an email is sent when messages are added on a task, a task is verified or completed, or the assignee of a task is updated. Enabling the "Send email when plans have a new version or markups" setting will ensure a daily email is sent if any markups are added or deleted as well as if a plan sheet/version was added or deleted. Note: Edits of sheets/versions/markups do not trigger an email, only additions or deletions. |

'Settings' tab (Mobile)
The Settings tab on mobile has many of the same features as the Settings tab on the web version of Fieldwire. On mobile, these settings have to be accessed from within each individual project.
There are a few additional options in the mobile app that may appear different than web:
- Remove from device - Stops downloading project content and frees up storage space. Removing a project from your device does not remove it from other devices. This is a device-specific action.
- Leave project - Removes your profile and access from the project. If removed, a project admin will need to invite/add you back.
