# Settings

All apps have settings merchants need to configure to control your app's behavior. For React Router-based Shopify apps, this will be defined in a route file like `app.settings.jsx`.

The settings template organizes related options into logical groups that provide contextual help alongside form controls. It also leverages the Save Bar API to protect unsaved changes from being lost.

The settings pattern follows proven design guidelines that help your app feel native to the Shopify admin. See [Built for Shopify requirements](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/launch/built-for-shopify/requirements) for more details on these guidelines.

#### Use cases

* Configuring app behavior and preferences
* Managing notification settings and thresholds
* Organizing complex options into logical groups

***

## Examples

### Configure a settings page with toggles and contextual help

Merchants need to configure app behavior; the settings template groups options and protects unsaved changes. This example configures a settings page for a Product Quality Auditor app with quality criteria toggles, weight controls, and notification preferences in the main column and contextual help in the aside. Add `data-save-bar` to your form element to enable the [Save Bar API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/app-home/apis/save-bar), which displays save/discard controls when the form has unsaved changes.

```tsx
// @validate-ignore: Argument of type 'EventTarget | null' is not assignable to parameter of type 'HTMLFormElement | undefined', Type 'null' is not assignable to type 'HTMLFormElement | undefined', Argument of type 'FormData' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Iterable<readonly [PropertyKey, any]>', Argument of type 'FormData' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Iterable<readonly any[]>'
<form
  data-save-bar
  onSubmit={(event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    const formData = new FormData(event.target);
    const formEntries = Object.fromEntries(formData);
    console.log("Form data", formEntries);
    shopify.toast.show('Settings saved successfully');
  }}
  onReset={(event) => {
    console.log("Handle discarded changes if necessary");
  }}
>
  <s-section heading="Notifications">
    <s-select
      label="Notification frequency"
      name="notification-frequency"
