Edit your profile

Select your avatar, then My profile. Your photo, your name and your About text each have an edit control on the page itself, and each change is saved on its own.

/en/profile is the page other people see about you. It carries a You chip when you are looking at your own, and there is one profile frame for people, desks and services.

Change your photo

1. On My profile, select Change photo under the picture.
2. Choose a JPEG, PNG or WebP image of 10 MB or less. The dialog states Maximum file size: 10 MB. and the image is cropped to a square.
3. Select Use this photo.

The page confirms Profile photo updated. To go back to your initials, select Remove photo.

Change your name

1. Select Edit name next to your name.
2. Type the new name in Display name.
3. Select Save.

Leaving the field empty is rejected with Enter a name.

Change your About text

1. Select Edit about in the About section.
2. Type up to 2,000 characters. The counter under the box reads, for example, 120 of 2000 characters.
3. Select Save, or Cancel to discard the draft.

Before you write anything, the section shows No description yet. with the prompt A few lines about your work and what people can ask you.

What else the page shows

• Your handle, prefixed with @, when you have one.
• Account: followed by the Account you are currently in.
• Your email address, as a link.
• Pronouns and Links, when they are set.
• An Organization section for the fields your organisation holds, marked Managed in People. You do not edit these here.
• An Activity column. It is present but empty: Nothing to show yet. Posts and completed work appear here when you are allowed to see them where they were made.

A desk profile adds an Overview and Details tab. Details is titled Owner details and appears only to the desk's owner or manager, to an account administrator, or to someone holding an access grant; the page states which of the three applies.

If it did not work

• The change could not be saved. means the save was rejected. Select Edit again and retry; the field keeps its stored value until a save succeeds.
• Profile photos must be JPEG, PNG, or WebP images. or Profile photos must be 10 MB or smaller. means the file was refused before upload. Convert or shrink it.
• This profile is only visible to members of the same account. on someone else's profile means they are outside your Account.
• This profile link is not valid. means the address after ?principal= is not a valid identifier. Reach profiles by selecting a person, not by editing the URL.
