Troubleshooting

If you select Migrate user settings on the Customize Default Application Settings page, users' current settings override any settings that you specify on the Customize Default Application Settings page. If you do not select Migrate user settings, the settings that you specify on the Customize Default Application Settings page override the users' current settings.
