You will find the channel selection in the [header bar](/docs/user-interface/the-header-bar.md) of the FactFinder NG user interface.

### Select a Channel

Click the box and select the desired channel from the list that pops up. Channels that are currently being edited by other users have a corresponding note.

> Almost all functions and settings of FactFinder NG can be customized. These changes are only applied to the active channel, so that different channels can have different settings.
