 The `UI Catalog` application provides an example of how to use the [`ConfigurationManager`](~/api/Terminal.Gui.ConfigurationManager.yml) class to load and save configuration files. The `Configuration Editor` scenario provides an editor that allows users to edit the configuration files. UI Catalog also uses a file system watcher to detect changes to the configuration files to tell [`ConfigurationManager`](~/api/Terminal.Gui.ConfigurationManager.yml) to reload them; allowing users to change settings without having to restart the application.
