View settings

The View settings menu lets you tailor the workspace to the text you’re working on and to your own comfort. Changes apply immediately.

What you can adjust

• Line numbers — show or hide line numbers down the side of the editor.
• Cell labels — show or hide each cell’s label (for example its canonical reference like GEN 1:1).
• Source text direction and Target text direction — set left-to-right or right-to-left independently for the source and target sides. This is essential when your source and target languages run in different directions (Aquilla even nudges you here when it detects a right-to-left language).

Where your settings live

View settings are stored per account, in your browser (local storage). That means:

• they take effect instantly and stay put on this device, but
• they don’t sync to other computers — set them once per device, and
• they’re independent of the project, so they follow you, not the text.

Note

Because these preferences are local to the browser, switching to a different account on the same device gives that account its own view settings. See Sign up & sign in.
