Settings screen - user, organization, workspace

Learn what you can configure at user, organization, and workspace level in Settings.

The Settings screen is the central place where you configure your user account, organizations, and workspaces.

You can reach the Settings screen from different places:

  • Settings in the main navigation

  • Global menu in the main navigation

  • Profile menu in the main navigation for your user settings

No matter where you open it from, the layout is similar and the left settings menu always contains the same main sections. What changes is which section is selected first, depending on how you opened the screen.

It helps to think of the three levels on the Settings screen as:

  • User account settings apply only to you as a person, regardless of which organization or workspace you are in.

  • Organization settings apply to everything inside that organization, including all its workspaces.

  • Workspace settings apply only to the selected workspace and can differ from workspace to workspace in the same organization.

User account and Profile settings

On the Profile screen you can:

  • Check or update your name, display name, and email address

  • Delete your account

Changes you make here apply to your own user profile, not to a specific organization or workspace.

  • Click the arrow next to the organization name to switch to another organization or set up a new one
