# 2.2 Switch Provider
## Switch from Main Interface
In the provider list, click the "Enable" button on the target provider card.
### Switching Flow
1. Click the "Enable" button
2. CC Switch updates the configuration file
3. The card status changes to "Currently Active"
4. Claude/Gemini take effect immediately, Codex requires a terminal restart
### Status Indicators
| Status | Display | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| Currently Active | Blue border + label | Current provider in the configuration file |
| Proxy Active | Green border | Provider actually in use during proxy mode |
| Normal | Default style | Inactive provider |
## Quick Switch via System Tray
Quickly switch providers via the system tray without opening the main interface.
### Steps
1. Right-click the CC Switch icon in the system tray
2. Find the corresponding app (Claude/Codex/Gemini/OpenCode) in the menu
3. Click the provider name you want to switch to
4. Switching completes with a brief tray notification

## Activation Methods
### Claude Code
**Takes effect immediately after switching**, no restart needed.
Claude Code supports hot reload and automatically detects configuration file changes and reloads.
### Codex
Requires restart after switching:
- Close the current terminal window
- Reopen the terminal
### Gemini CLI
**Takes effect immediately after switching**, no restart needed.
Gemini CLI re-reads the `.env` file on each request.
## Configuration File Changes
When switching providers, CC Switch modifies the following files:
### Claude
```
~/.claude/settings.json
```
Modified content:
```json
{
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "new API Key",
"ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "new endpoint"
}
}
```
### Codex
```
~/.codex/auth.json
~/.codex/config.toml (if additional configuration exists)
```
### Gemini
```
~/.gemini/.env
~/.gemini/settings.json
```
## Handling Switch Failures
If switching fails, possible reasons:
### Configuration File Is Locked
Another program is using the configuration file.
**Solution**: Close the running CLI tool and try switching again.
### Insufficient Permissions
No write permission to the configuration file.
**Solution**: Check the permission settings of the configuration directory.
### Invalid Configuration Format
The provider's JSON configuration has format errors.
**Solution**: Edit the provider, check and fix the JSON format.
