# Watch Settings

> Configure individual watch options

Each watch has its own settings accessible from the gear icon on the watch row in your [watches list](https://sitespy.app/dashboard/watches).

## Check interval

Override the global check frequency for this specific watch. Pro includes 10 fast slots for watches below its 10-minute default:

| Plan     | Default    | Minimum    | Fast slots  | Maximum |
| -------- | ---------- | ---------- | ----------- | ------- |
| Free     | 1 hour     | 1 hour     | 0           | 7 days  |
| Starter  | 10 minutes | 10 minutes | 0           | 7 days  |
| Pro      | 10 minutes | 1 minute   | 10          | 7 days  |
| Business | 1 minute   | 1 minute   | All watches | 7 days  |

## Screenshot capture

Toggle screenshot capture on or off for this watch. When enabled, Site Spy saves a PNG screenshot alongside each text snapshot, allowing [visual diff comparisons](/docs/dashboard/screenshots).

<Note>
  Screenshot capture requires the **Pro** plan or above.
</Note>

Enabling screenshots switches the watch to a browser-based fetcher that renders the page with JavaScript before capturing.

## Filters

Three filter fields let you control what gets monitored. See [CSS & XPath Filters](/docs/dashboard/css-xpath-filters) for syntax and examples.

* **Monitor Only** — CSS/XPath selectors to limit monitoring to specific sections
* **Exclude Elements** — CSS selectors for elements to remove before checking
* **Text Patterns** — Text or regex patterns to ignore

## Pause and resume

Click the **pause** button on a watch to stop checking it. The watch stays in your list but no snapshots are taken until you resume it. Useful for temporarily disabling watches without losing their configuration.

## Title

Edit the watch title to something more descriptive than the URL. The title appears in your watch list, notifications, and RSS feeds.

## Tags

Assign color-coded tags to organize and filter your watches. Tags can also have their own notification settings — see [Managing Watches](/docs/dashboard/watches) for details.
