The program gives you full control over how you want the Sudoku puzzle look. When you install Sudoku Dragon you initially select a skill level this will turn on appropriate view options. You can change these at any time and the program will remember to use them for all the puzzles you solve.

As you get familiar with Sudoku and take on more challenging games you will discover there are times when you need to backtrack and try another strategy. Sudoku Dragon is unique in offering a complete list of allocations and lets you undo and redo previous allocation steps. This is available as a list displayed in a separate side panel. If you are confident that you do not need to track the allocations as a list you can switch off the panel, undo and redo will still be available though.

It's easy to lose track of columns and rows, particularly is you want to explain a problem to someone else. The program therefore lets you choose whether the displayed grid shows a key to the Sudoku row and column titles on the top and left of the grid.

Automatic allocation allows the Dragon to find and solve 'easy' squares for you. This lets you concentrate on the harder squares to be solved. There is a choice of which 'rules' it will use to solve squares. You can choose the 'only square' rule to just solve the simplest squares - where only one square in a group can take a particular symbol or alternatively include the 'only choice' rule as well where there is only one possible choice for a square.

When you installed the Dragon you selected a folder in which to put all your puzzle files. You can change this location, if you do the uninstall will only delete puzzles in the new location. You can press the Browse button to select a new storage location.
