# Configuring a World #

To configure a world in Potato, open the [Address Book](AddressBook), select the world, and click the **Edit World** button. If you're already connected to the world, you can also select **Options** → **Configure World**, or click the Globe icon on the toolbar.

This will bring up the Configure World window. Changes made here do not take effect until you click **OK** to close the window.

World Options are grouped into a number of sections, which are shown on the left of the window. When you select a section, the options are shown on the right. The sections are

  * [Basics](ConfigureWorldsBasics)
  * [Characters](ConfigureWorldsChars)
  * [Connections](ConfigureWorldsConnection)
    * [Telnet Options](ConfigureWorldsConnectionTelnet)
