# Ghidra Front End Menus

## Configure Project Window

> You can configure your Project Window just as you would another tool, however, only a subset of the Ghidra Plugins will be included in the list of available Plugins, as these Plugins are the only ones that may be added to the Project Window. These Plugins are "marked" as providing general capabilities that may be required at a high level, such as importing a Program into a Ghidra project, or archiving the active project. These "special" Plugins can also be added to any tool; however, the archive and restore options show up only in the Ghidra Project Window even though the plugins providing these options can be added to other tools. To bring up the Configure Tool Plugins dialog, select the File Configure option.

> > The Configure Tool dialog shows a list of plugin packages that can be added to the tool. Clicking the checkbox will add (or remove) all the plugins in the package to the tool. Clicking on the Configure link will bring up a dialog for adding individual plugins. See Configure Tool for more information.

> > > Adding or removing Plugins may cause menu options to change.

> > > The configuration for your Project Window is saved when you save your Project.

> > > ### Project Window and Tool Options

> > > > Each tool has an Options dialog to change key bindings and set tool options. In addition to these two option categories, the dialog has a node in the Options tree for each category of options that are used by plugins in the tool. If a plugin is removed from the tool, and no other plugin is using a set of options, then this category will not be displayed the next time you run the tool and bring up the Options dialog.

> > > ### PKI Certificate

> > > > The Ghidra Server can be set up to perform user authentication using PKI certificates. When the Ghidra Server is in this authentication mode, you must set your PKI Certificate before you attempt to open a project repository or create a new shared project associated with this server.

> > > > To configure, choose EditSet PKI Certificate.... A file chooser is displayed; select your PKI certificate file and select the Set Certificate button. You must restart Ghidra in order for the setting to take effect. When you connect to the server the next time you run Ghidra, you will be prompted for the key-store password associated with this certificate key file. The path to your PKI certificate file is saved as part of your Ghidra preferences.

> > > > If the Ghidra Server is not using PKI Certificates for user authentication, you can ignore this menu option.

> > ## Exiting Ghidra

> > > To exit Ghidra,

> > > - Select File Exit Ghidra option on the Project Window, OR
> > > - Select the native windowing system's window closing feature, OR
> > > - Select File Exit Ghidra option from a running tool.

> > > If you have made changes to read-only files, then the Read-Only Files dialog will appear. It will indicate that you must do a Save As to save these files to a new name. You can choose to Cancel and go perform the Save As or choose Lose Changes to continue without saving your changes to the read-only file.

> > > If you have made any changes to Programs, then a dialog is displayed to prompt you to save changes. After the programs, all other files that have been changed and not saved are listed.

> > > By default, the check box is selected to do a save. You can select or deselect the check boxes individually. Click on the buttons to either turn all the check boxes on (Select All) or off (Select None).

> > > Your Ghidra preferences file is updated to record your last opened project. The position of the Ghidra Project Window is also recorded so that when you run Ghidra again, the window position is restored. If the Project configuration has changed (tools or workspaces that were added or removed, etc.), the new configuration will be saved automatically.
