Layer-based settings

Last modified: 26 May 2024

In the Rider settings dialog CtrlAlt0S, you can look at page icons to see, which setting-management mechanism is used for specific pages:

Rider: Code formatting settings

Pages that are not marked with any icon host IDE settings which are saved in your user profile.

Layer-based settings are compatible with ReSharper, so if you have been working with ReSharper or any of your team members use it, Rider will be able to read and apply settings that you have configured in ReSharper.

Solution-wide settings in the 'Solution personal' and 'Solution team-shared' layers, which are saved in the solution directory, are used automatically.

However, ReSharper and Rider save machine-wide settings in 'This computer' layer in different files so that your new Rider installation is not affected by existing ReSharper installation.

If you want Rider to use the same 'This computer' settings file as ReSharper, select Synchronize machine-wide Rider and ReSharper settings on the Tools | ReSharper page of JetBrains Rider settings CtrlAlt0S.
