We are working on making some of this settings persistent, see https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/5979 and related.

Ticking the dotfiles option will not automatically save all your dotfiles. That will likely create troubles along different releases.

You have to save copy them to a directory, see instructions at:
