 Although the Arduino IDE's primary preferences interface provides all required configuration capabilities, advanced users may wish to fine tune the behavior of the application or temporarily enable additional log output to use for troubleshooting problems with the IDE. The IDE provides such settings in a separate interface. Previously, the existence and access procedure for these settings was undocumented. Since this is an advanced capability, the documentation is not appropriate for inclusion with the standard user documentation on arduino.cc. A file here in the Arduino IDE is used instead. This file will serve as a container for all such user-targeted documentation.

Motivation
Although the Arduino IDE's primary preferences interface provides all required configuration capabilities, advanced users may wish to fine tune the behavior of the application or temporarily enable additional log output to use for troubleshooting problems with the IDE.
The IDE provides such settings in a separate interface.
The existence and access procedure for these settings is undocumented.
Change description
Provide instructions for accessing the advanced settings.
Since this is an advanced capability, the documentation is not appropriate for inclusion with the standard user
documentation on arduino.cc. A file here in the Arduino IDE is used instead. This file will serve as a container for all
such user-targeted documentation.
