# Manage configurations

{% hint style="warning" %}
🚧 This feature is still on beta phase

You may encounter some bugs with the configuration feature, to overcome the bugs use the "Clear all configuration" command to reinitialze the extension and reconfigure it.
{% endhint %}

### Overview

The configuration feature lets you manage multiple feature exp accounts and environments and easily switch between them.

Each configuration contains :

* username (unique)
* Client ID
* Client Secret

You can retrieve these data from the [platform](https://app.flagship.io) or follow these [instructions](https://flagship.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4499017687708--Acting-on-your-account-remotely)

### Usage

If you log in for the first time, you will land on the welcome page, once you click on the configure button you will be instructed to insert a unique name for your configuration (we recommend accountName-EnvironmentName).

There are two ways to set a configuration:

* Insert the Client ID, Client Secret, Account ID then Account Environment ID.

If you want to delete or clear all configurations and log out, use the built-in VSCode command ctrl+shift+p/⌘+shift+p then type "AB Tasty: Clear all configurations".

{% hint style="danger" %}
❗️ "AB Tasty: Clear all configurations" command is not reversible
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
🚧 Token expires after 24 hours

The token generated from the configuration expired after 24 hours, you have to reselect the configuration to generate a new token.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
🚧 The VSCode extension use AB Tasty CLI

The extension use the [CLI](https://docs.developers.flagship.io/docs/abtasty-command-line-interface) to manage feature exp resources, so any changes made in configuration in the VSCode will affect the CLI authentication configuration.
