Configuring tab-specific settings - Port Swigger

Summary: PortSwigger's documentation describes how Burp Suite users can override global Repeater settings for an individual tab, and notes that selecting any setting on the tab-specific menu causes Repeater to ignore all global settings for that tab. Tab-specific settings are retained when Burp Suite is reopened if a project file is used, and a tab's settings icon turns blue when its settings are modified.
Bottom line: A single tab-level selection silently discards every global Repeater setting for that tab, so a tester who enables one option can send requests under a configuration they did not intend.
