Reise amatin (talk | contribs) m Edited the Important Note box to take out the statement that you must be in space to edit your overview, and added directions below it on setting up a shortcut so that you can edit your overview from inside a space dock. |

The easiest way to manipulate your overview is to save your current overview and then export it into your documents folder. That way you can open the overview file in a text editor and quickly view your changes ingame by saving the file and importing the new settings. That way you can easily tinker with your overview until you have it just the way you like it. | The easiest way to manipulate your overview is to save your current overview and then export it into your documents folder.

You do NOT have to be in space to edit your overview! By setting a keyboard shortcut, you can edit your overview in the safety of spacedock. Go to Neocom Menu > Settings (gear icon at the bottom) > Shortcuts Tab > Window Tab > scroll down to Overview Settings. Assign the Overview Settings a shortcut key (ALT-O is available by default), click the Close Window button, and you can open your Overview Settings for editing from anywhere. You will still have to launch into space to see the changes, but that is a much faster procedure than sitting undocked in space editing your Overview and not watching your d-scan. | |||

Open your ''Overview Settings'' window and go to the ''Misc'' tab. At the bottom of the tab you'll see two button, ''Import Overview Settings'' and ''Export Overview Settings''. It's '''highly recommended''' that you start by making a backup of your settings by exporting them into one file first, before making another export with another name, with the intention of using the second copy as a work-in-progress file. | Open your ''Overview Settings'' window and go to the ''Misc'' tab.
