# Project Default: Completion Mode

By default, the Completion Mode, aka “When Finished” variable for a UMovieSceneSkeletalAnimationSection is *Restore State*. To change it to *Keep State* for the whole project, add the following line to **DefaultEngine.ini**:

```
[/Script/LevelSequence.LevelSequence]
DefaultCompletionMode=KeepState
```

{% hint style="info" %}
There is **no** setting in either Project Settings or Editor Preferences for this - it’s a variable (*UMovieSceneSequence->DefaultCompletionMode*) that gets saved/loaded to/from the config on editor startup. If it’s changed, restart the editor for it to take effect.
{% endhint %}
