To disable the project prompt and analysis when renaming buses or bus elements while keeping automatic updates enabled for other files, clear Detect project-wide references when renaming Simulink buses and bus elements.

This option is only available if you have Simulink^® installed.

To specify what happens when you attempt to modify Read-only project files, select an option based on your use case:

When opening a file, you can have a project check for conflict markers that the source control tool inserted. This check helps identify conflicted files and offers a fix to rescue binary files, such as SLX files, from corruption.

To choose what files a project should check for conflict markers, specify Conflict marker detection when loading project files. Select one of the available options:

When adding project files to a folder that is not on the path, you can choose whether MATLAB notifies you before adding the folder to the project path. In Update project path when adding files to a folder that is not on the path, select one of the available options:

This preference is only available in MATLAB Online.

Calling SVN update to get the latest revision overwrites all of your files. To receive a warning before overwriting the files, select Warn about updating from source control.

To receive a warning when you perform an action that a project cannot reverse, select Warn when performing an action that the project cannot undo.

For example, a project cannot undo extracting a folder to a referenced project.

Only one project can be open at a time. To receive a warning that the current project will close when you open a reference project as a top-level project, select Warn when opening a project reference that the current project will be closed.

To receive a warning when you remove a reference to another project, select Warn when removing references to another project.

To save the Java stack trace in a log file whenever project shows an error dialog, select Log errors.

To save project action messages, such as how long shortcuts take to start up, select Log messages.
