While working with a capture, you can record your changes by using comments. In addition, you can fine-tune the interface by creating a tailored configuration profile and/or modify individual settings using the Preferences menu:
- Packet Comments: This allows you to include comments on a single packet.
- Delete all Packet Comments: This removes all comments.
- Configuration Profile: This allows you to create a customized profile, specific to your workflow. This is a powerful feature, as you can create several profiles, so they can be used for specific applications or clients.
- Preferences: This brings up the Preferences dialog box where you can alter the appearance and elements that influence the functionality of Wireshark. Here, you can adjust the font and color or even the layout, as shown in the following screenshot:
