You can find the following configuration options in your Visual Scripting Project Settings. To use Visual Scripting in a project for the first time, you must regenerate your Node Library, as described in the table below.

Option	Description
Type Options	Use the Type Options list to add or remove types for your node inputs and outputs. After you add or remove a type, you must regenerate your Node Library For more information on how to add or remove types, see Add or remove types.
Node Library	Use the Node Library list to add or remove nodes and their assemblies in Visual Scripting. You must add any new types to your Type Options after you add new nodes to Visual Scripting. You must also regenerate your Node Library after you add or remove nodes. See Regenerate Nodes, below. For more information on how to add or remove nodes from your Node Library, see Add or remove available nodes.
Regenerate Nodes	Regenerate your Node Library to make all nodes available for use in a project. To regenerate your Node Library: Select Regenerate Nodes. Select OK.

Generate	To generate required property provider scripts for custom drawers, select Generate. These scripts are necessary for Unity to use custom drawers for custom classes and script variables inside Visual Scripting. To assign a default value to a custom variable type through the Unity Editor’s Inspector, you must either have access to the source code for the class, or provide a custom PropertyDrawer. For more information, see Custom types.
