# Spark Engine UI Configuration | Spark Profiling

> Configure Spark Engine through the Collate UI for distributed data profiling.

# Spark Engine UI Configuration

Spark Engine can be registered directly from the Collate UI, as an alternative to hand-editing the YAML shown in [External Configuration](/ai-2-0/how-to-guides/data-quality-observability/profiler/spark-engine/configuration/external-configuration). Since it's an admin-level setting rather than something configured per pipeline, it lives under **Settings** > **Preferences** > **Profiler Configuration**, not alongside individual profiler workflows.

For the full list of fields and steps, see [Spark Agent Configuration](/ai-2-0/admin-guide/preferences/profiler-configuration#spark-agent-configuration).
