# Settings / UI References

## :gear: Settings

The *HUD Navigation Canvas* is controlled by the settings of the [HUD Navigation System](/hud-navigation-system/hud-navigation-system/settings.md) component. This component is used to link/assign the different *UI References* to the system.

## :anchor: UI References

HNS needs to know, where to find the different UI elements inside your UI Canvas. Each feature needs specific UI elements to work properly, so make sure to correctly assign them.

{% hint style="info" %}
The most simply way to get started is to duplicate the canvas prefab and customize it to your needs. You'll find the prefab in the prefabs folder:\
*Sickscore Games* > *HUD Navigation System* > *Resources* > *Prefabs*.
{% endhint %}
