Existing Settings

In the new UI, we have shifted the horizontal menu from the old UI to a vertical menu to increase the ease of accessibility. It makes navigation in the plugin easy. The vertical menu has allowed us to move all the related settings to different tabs so that you can find the features easily. This makes more space for adding new options and hence many more features in the future.
