# Options

:::info
Options have also been called **settings** before  the v2 API.
:::

There are various types of options.
[`MatchLevel`s](./match-level.md) are one of the most common and most used type and they allow you to directly tweak the sensitivity of checks.
However, there are also options that don't necessarily affect verification decisions, but rather process related things like image return, anonymization, etc.

The primary way to configure the recognizer should be through the [`UseCase`](./use-case.md) system.
Most of the time, options shouldn't be tweaked unless you:

- have specific requirements (e.g. want to accept expired documents, or want to change the format of the returned images)
- need more fine-grained control over the verification process or a specific check

All possible options are listed in the [API reference](/verify/api/ref/v2#model/documentverificationprocessingoptions).
