# FileWave Anywhere persistent user preferences (14.8+)

## What

As a user of FileWave Anywhere, I frequently have to resize columns when I’m using it.

## When/Why

In v14.8.0 we have introduced the ability to store preferences about column width so that when you login columns will retain their size as appropriate.

## How

#### User preferences in main views will be stored on the user account:

- Pinned columns
- Width of the columns
- Visibility of the columns
- Order of the columns

#### User preferences in main views will be stored in the active session:

- Filters
- Quick filters
- Search
- Applied sorting on a column

#### Profiles section error handling improvements:

- Error handling in the profiles is more user friendly and the mandatory fields are better highlighted
