.settings folder in process template

When we create a process, there is a default settings folder as shown in the attachedimage

my question is what is the purpose of having the folder, and what will happen if a process doesn’t have or lost the folder.

Thanks,

The .settings folder contains information on your breakpoints, collapsed/uncollapsed activities, etc. It’s not anything that will cause your project to run or not run, but more of your own personal preferences for the workflows.
