Profile: Specify your name and role that best matches your primary use case.
Appearance and language: Choose a theme for your application and set the interface language.
PDF highlight: Define how PDF citations in the AI chat panel are opened by default. You can choose to open them either in a PDF viewer or in Markdown preview.
Web Search Settings: Specify whether to access and use files (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) from web search results in the chats.
Client tool timeout: Set the maximum runtime for each client tool. You can enter an integer from 1 to1800 seconds.

Context
The Context page lets you manage preferences that affect how Foxit Workspace uses context to assist you. These settings can help keep responses relevant and consistent with your working style and project needs. It includes the following sections:
Instructions: Enter short, explicit rules for how you want Foxit Workspace to respond. For example, you can request concise answers by default or ask Foxit Workspace to confirm before making broad product or architecture changes. (Tip: Enter instructions that describe response preferences and working rules rather than background facts. Keep the instructions clear and specific so they can be applied consistently.)
Allow AI memory updates: Enable this toggle to let Foxit Workspace automatically update its memory with information from your chat history, documents, and connected applications.
Memory: Manually review and edit the durable background and user preferences that the AI retains and applies when performing tasks.
