# Personal settings

Personal settings in Syncek belong to you rather than to the workspace: your
picture and name, the day your week starts, light or dark mode, how tall table rows
are, and whether times read 3:00 PM or 15:00. Everyone can change their own,
whatever their role, under **Settings, then Personal**. The quickest way in is the
workspace menu at the top of the sidebar, then **Settings**, which opens your
**Profile**.

## Profile

**Settings, then Personal, then Profile** holds:

- **Picture**: upload a photo (PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP, up to 10 MB), or click
  **Customize avatar** to build an illustrated one. A photo shows in place of an
  illustrated avatar, and saving an illustrated avatar removes the photo.
- **Name**: **First Name** and **Last Name**, saved as you type.
- **Email**: the address you sign in with, marked **Verified** or **Not verified**.
  It cannot be changed here. If it is not verified yet, **Resend email** sends the
  confirmation link again.
- **Linked accounts**: the ways you sign in, such as **Email / Password**,
  **Google** or **GitHub**. See [Signing in and passwords](https://syncek.com/docs/account/signing-in).
- **Time preferences**: **Preferred Timezone**, and **Start week on**, the first
  day of the week in Syncek's date pickers.

## Appearance

**Settings, then Personal, then Appearance** applies each choice as soon as you
click it:

- **Color scheme**: **Light**, **Dark**, or **System** to follow your device.
- **Table density**: **Compact** or **Extended**, the height of table rows in
  objects, emails and notes.
- **Time format**: 3:00 PM or 15:00.

They are saved on your account rather than in the browser, so they follow you to
another computer.

## The rest of Personal

- **Security** holds your password, and **Devices** lists the browsers signed in to
  your account. See [Signing in and passwords](https://syncek.com/docs/account/signing-in).
- **Integrations** is where you connect your mailbox. See
  [Connect Gmail](https://syncek.com/docs/email/connect-gmail).
- **Notifications** is marked (soon) and has nothing to set yet.

Settings that change a workspace for everyone, such as its name, sit under
**Workspace** and belong to Admins and the Owner. See
[Workspaces and organizations](https://syncek.com/docs/account/workspaces-and-organizations).
