In contrib-simple-gate, there is an option to store last state, selected by a dropdown menu. I can only see **memory** as an option, but the author's github documentation says that it will display all storage locations enabled in NR's _settings.js_. However, when I look in the GUI, I can't see anywhere to enable disk storage.

I'm guessing that this needs to be done via editing the _settings.js_ file - How can I do that and can that option be added to the GUI for easy usage for future users, please?

Thanks in advance,  
Dax.

You can find that in the docs in the context section [Working with context : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/context).
