# Review chat assistant settings

Review your chat assistant settings.

## Before you begin

See [Manage an assistant chat experience](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/conversational-interfaces/now-assist-in-virtual-agent/manage-assistant-chat-experience.md).

Role required: virtual\_agent\_admin or admin

## About this task

The configuration for each step is shown on the review page. You will need to **Save and activate** or **Save and close** your assistant to be able to test it.

## Procedure

1.  Review your assistant settings.

    **Note:** Settings for ServiceNow Otto panel assistants differ from ServiceNow Otto for Virtual Agent assistants.

    If a portal, messaging channel, or mobile app wasn't selected, the following alert appears at the top of the page.

    **Warning:** Select at least one display experience in order to activate this assistant. You can still save the assistant and add a display experience later.

    1.  **Basic details** show the name of the assistant and the primary and secondary assistants that are linked.
    2.  **Search sources** show the search profile, the internal and external search sources, and any copied search configurations that have been added to the assistant.
    3.  **Knowledge Graphs** show the schemas that have been selected for the assistant.
    4.  **Assets** show the asset types that have been selected \(topics, subflows and actions, AI agents, and custom skills\).
    5.  **MCP servers** show which users can access Model Context Protocol \(MCP\)-provided capabilities through the assistant.
    6.  **Display experience** shows which portals, channels, or mobile apps are selected for your assistant.
    7.  **Branding** shows the type of branding that you have selected.
    8.  **Chat experience** shows your greeting, closing, and fallback options that are selected for your assistant.
    9.  **Additional chat features** show which chat features are turned on for your assistant.
2.  Select **Save and activate** or **Save and close**.
