+Tools menu items
+----------------
+There's a *Configuration files* submenu in the *Tools* menu that
+contains items for some of the available user configuration files.
+Clicking on one opens it in the editor for you to update. Geany will
+reload the file after you have saved it.
+
+.. note::
+    Other configuration files are not shown here and you will need to open
+    them manually and usually restart Geany to see any changes.
+
+There's also a *Reload Configuration* item which can be used if you
+updated a configuration file outside of the current instance. This
+item is also necessary to update syntax highlighting colors.
+
+.. note::
+    Syntax highlighting colors aren't updated after saving
+    filetypes.common as this can take a short while depending on which
+    documents are open.
