GLOBAL SETTINGS

# Use the [default] stanza to define any global settings.
#   * You can also define global settings outside of any stanza, at the top of
#     the file.
#   * This is not a typical conf file for configurations. It is used to set/create
#     tours to demonstrate product functionality to users.
#   * If an attribute is defined at both the global level and in a specific
#     stanza, the value in the specific stanza takes precedence.
