# Account

Each person's own corner: their profile, the order of their sidebar, their notifications, and how
their screens are set out. None of it changes what anyone else sees.

## What you can do

- Edit the profile: Profile image, Name, Job title, Phone, and the Email under Login credentials.
- Reorder the sidebar and hide items not in use.
- Collapse the sidebar to a rail, and expand it again.
- Reset the sidebar to the default order, everything shown, expanded.
- Read notifications, mark one or all as read.
- Switch between light and dark mode.
- Open the Keyboard shortcuts sheet.
- Keep screen choices: the app remembers each person's board layout and density, task numbers, the
  collapsed backlog, project docs shown or hidden, dashboard cards and their order, list columns and
  widths, and the canvas task tray's display and filters.

## How to

The user menu, at the foot of the sidebar, holds My Profile, Notifications, Customise nav, Keyboard
shortcuts, the light or dark mode switch, and Logout.

Profile:

1. Open the user menu, then My Profile.
2. Change the fields and press Update.

Sidebar:

1. Open the user menu, then Customise nav.
2. Drag items to reorder them. Press an item's eye to hide or show it ("Visible - click to hide").
   Items marked Always shown, such as Settings, cannot be hidden.
3. Press Save.
4. Reset to default restores the default order and shows everything.
5. Collapse sidebar, at the top of the sidebar, shrinks it to a rail; Expand sidebar brings it back.
   The choice is kept.

Notifications:

1. The bell at the top right shows the latest. Mark all as read clears them; View all my notifications
   opens the Notifications page.
2. The Notifications page lists them by date. Opening one marks it read.

Keys:

- `?` shows keyboard shortcuts.
- `Mod+K` opens the quick switcher. `Mod` is Ctrl, or Cmd on a Mac.

## Limits

- Notifications cover new tasks and comments, and mentions in either. A person is notified only about
  projects they can see.
- Email is used to match the person's single sign-on account on their first sign-in, and must be
  unique.
- The sidebar collapse toggle is hidden on narrow screens, where the sidebar is a drawer.
- Screen choices are saved where they are made; there is no separate preferences screen.
- Sidebar changes apply to the person's own view only.
