You can override the globalRepeater settings selected in the Settings dialog for an individual tab.

To configure tab-specific settings:

1. Select the tab you want to configure.
2. Click the settings icon next to theSend button to display a context menu containingRepeater settings. The available settings are the same as those found in theSettings dialog.
3. Select the required settings from the menu.

If you select a setting on the tab-specific menu then Repeater ignores all global settings for that tab. Make sure that all settings are configured correctly on the tab-specific menu before you send requests from the tab. For example, if you selectProcess cookies in redirections on the global Repeater menu, andEnable HTTP/1 connection reuse on a tab-specific menu, the globalProcess cookies in redirections setting is ignored.

If you modify settings for a tab, the tab's settings icon turns blue. To return a tab to the global Repeater settings, click its settings icon next to theSend button and selectRestore global default from the context menu.

If you use a project file, any tab-specific settings you configure for open tabs are retained when you re-open Burp Suite.
