# Coveo Settings button
> **Legacy feature**
>
> The Coveo Hive Framework is now in maintenance mode and is no longer recommended for new implementations.
> 
> To build new search experiences, use one of Coveo's more modern, lightweight, and responsive libraries.
> To get started, see the [Build search](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2473/) article.

Implements the [Coveo JavaScript Search Framework](https://docs.coveo.com/en/187/) [Settings](https://coveo.github.io/search-ui/components/settings.html) component which renders a **Settings** button that the end user can click to access a popup menu of contextual actions.

## Usage notes

* After adding the **Coveo Settings Button** rendering, insert renderings from the [Settings Button options group](https://docs.coveo.com/en/3008/) to add options to the popup menu.

* You can [customize the CSS](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2342/) associated with this rendering.

<div>
<h3>Coveo Hive SXA</h3>

  <p>The usual location of the <strong>Settings</strong> button on the page is to the right of the search box.</p>
  <video width="690" height="335" controls="">
  <source src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/images/c4sc-v5/settings-button-sxa.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
