## :gear: Settings

Most of the settings on the *HUD Navigation Element* component are used to override the default settings defined by the [HUD Navigation System](https://sickscoregames.gitbook.io/hud-navigation-system/hud-navigation-system/overview) component. This way, you can define different types of elements, which derive from the default settings, but behave different from each other.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you plan to create a lot of elements of the same type (e.g. item pick-ups), it's a good practice to use [HUD Navigation Element Settings](https://sickscoregames.gitbook.io/hud-navigation-system/hud-navigation-element/element-settings) to share your settings between multiple elements and change them at a single place.
