where are focus peeking settings?

I just got a M11M. Under main menu I don't see anything how to enable focus peeking and settings for focus peeking.

I checked capture assistants. It's not there

I checked main menu for anything about focus, it's not there.

I checked camera settings, nothing there about focus settings.

What am I missing??

all good, it's under capture assistants, then info profiles, then under whatever profile you select.

You might try reading the instruction manual... I don't have an M11M, but I have the M10M and M10-R and the instruction manuals list out where all the various controls are. It's a good idea to at least skim through the entire instruction manual.

Focus peaking is best ignored anyway, IMO.

I agree with you, by and large. But it is occasionally useful when you're using Live View and for getting in the right focus range quickly, just like it's useful with a video camera to give you an indication of the range of focus for shooting a moving subject. 

Since I more normally use the RF in my Leica M cameras and only generally use Live View for when I'm doing Macro or the occasional long telephoto shot (eg: with an adapted 600mm mirror tele or adapted 180/360 mm Leica R lens), focus peaking for my use is mostly irrelevant.

I get it, but totally irrelevant for my use, which is strictly RF.  I’ve only used Live View for very infrequent focus calibration tests.  Don’t shoot video, and use SL2 for tele lenses, zooms, etc. And on that camera, which of course has LV, I find that focus magnification serves much better than peaking, which I disable.
