Splunk Search

Why is the Syntax Highlighting options missing?

When I visit my account setting in my splunk web instance any reference to Search options are not visible. Including syntax highlighting, line numbering, etc. We recently upgraded to 7.0.2 from 6.5.x. Was this removed in 7? Thanks.

Hi,

By default, syntax highlighting is turned on. Refer below doc:

Sure but the options to configure it are missing from my account settings page. I wanted to enable the dark theme and line numbering...and the options simply aren't there.
