+
+## Configuring GUI Options
+
+The **GUI** widget allows users to configure the TrueNAS SCALE web interface address. Click **Settings** to open the **GUI Settings** configuration screen.
+
+### Changing the GUI SSL Certificate
+
+The system uses a self-signed certificate to enable encrypted web interface connections. To change the default certificate, select a different certificate that was created or imported in the **Certificates** section from the **GUI SSL Certificate** dropdown list.
+
+### Setting the Web Interface IP Address
+
+To set the WebUI IP address, if using IPv4 addresses, select a recent IP address from the **Web Interface IPv4 Address** dropdown list. This limits the usage when accessing the administrative GUI. The built-in HTTP server binds to the wildcard address of 0.0.0.0 (any address) and issues an alert if the specified address becomes unavailable. If using an IPv6 address, select a recent IP address from the **Web Interface IPv6 Address** dropdown list.
+
+### Configuring HTTPS Options
+
+To allow configuring a non-standard port to access the GUI over HTTPS, enter a port number in the **Web Interface HTTPS Port** field.
+
+Select the cryptographic protocols for securing client/server connections from the **HTTPS Protocols** dropdown list. Select the [Transport Layer Security (TLS)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security) versions TrueNAS SCALE can use for connection security.
+
+To redirect HTTP connections to HTTPS, select **Web Interface HTTP -> HTTPS Redirect**. A GUI SSL Certificate is required for HTTPS. 
+Activating this also sets the [HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security) maximum age to 31536000 seconds (one year). 
+This means that after a browser connects to the web interface for the first time, the browser continues to use HTTPS and renews this setting every year. 
+A warning displays when setting this function. Setting HTTPS redirects can have unintended consequences if an app does not support secure connections. 
+If this occurs, to reset, clear this option and click **Save**. Then clear the browser cache before trying to connect to the app again.
+
+To send failed HTTP request data which can include client and server IP addresses, failed method call tracebacks, and middleware log file contents to iXsystems, select **Crash Reporting**.
+
+### Sending Usage Statistics to iXsystems
+To send anonymous usage statistics to iXsystems, select the **Usage Collection** option.
+
+### Showing Console Messages
+To display console messages in real time at the bottom of the browser, select the **Show Console Messages** option.
+
+## Localizing TrueNAS SCALE
+
+To change the WebUI on-screen language and set the keyboard to work with the selected language, click **Settings** on the **System Settings > General > Localization** widget. The **Localization Settings** configuration screen opens.
+
+Select the language from the **Language** dropdown list, and then the keyboard layout in **Console Keyboard Map**.
+
+Enter the time zone in **Timezone** and then select the local date and time formats to use.
+
+Click **Save**.
+
+## Adding NTP Servers 
+
+The **NTP Servers** widget allows users to configure Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers. 
+These sync the local system time with an accurate external reference. 
+By default, new installations use several existing NTP servers. TrueNAS SCALE supports adding custom NTP servers.
