Cannot find how to get to this "Project Defaults" section "in the General pane in the Property Pages."

On this page in the documentation, it describes a "Project Defaults" section on some ephemeral "Debug Property Pages" page in some properties setting dialog, shown below:

However, the documentation gives no explanation whatsoever as to how to get to said "Project Defaults"

How do I get to this "Project Defaults" section? Does it even still exist?

    Hi @Grant Robertson ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Currently, the properties in Project Defaults pane can be found through Project > Properties > Configuration Properties > Advanced:

    For any suggestions about the Default properties document, please send feedback in the GitHub.

    Thank you for helping us build a better Visual Studio!

    Sincerely,
    Anna

    because these are project settings, you need to load a c++ project in VS. select the project in the solution window, then right click and select properties. then pick debug.
