# Managing Your Profile

> Learn how to update your personal profile settings, including display name, email, password, photo, and notification preferences.

# Managing Your Profile

Your profile contains your personal information and preferences. These settings are specific to **you** — they're not shared across your workspace or team.

## Updating Your Display Name

Your display name appears to other team members in your workspace. To change it:

1. Click your **profile icon** (usually in the top-right corner)
2. Select **Settings** or **Profile Settings**
3. Find the **Display Name** field
4. Enter your new name
5. Click **Save**

Your updated name will appear immediately to all team members.

## Changing Your Email Address

Your email is the primary way you log in and receive workspace notifications. To update it:

1. Go to your **Profile Settings**
2. Locate the **Email Address** field
3. Enter your new email
4. A verification email will be sent to the new address
5. Click the verification link in the email to confirm
6. Your email is now updated

**Note:** Once confirmed, you can use your new email to log in to Alana Shopping B2B.

## Resetting Your Password

To change your password:

1. Open **Profile Settings**
2. Select **Change Password** or **Security**
3. Enter your current password
4. Enter your new password (at least 8 characters recommended)
5. Confirm the new password
6. Click **Update Password**

**Forgot your password?** Use the **Forgot Password** link on the login page to reset it via email.

## Uploading a Profile Photo

Adding a photo makes your profile more recognizable to teammates. To add or change your photo:

1. Go to **Profile Settings**
2. Find the **Profile Photo** section
3. Click **Upload Photo** or the placeholder image
4. Select an image from your computer (JPG, PNG, or WebP)
5. Crop or adjust if needed
6. Click **Save** or **Confirm**

Your photo will appear next to your name across the workspace.

## Managing Notification Preferences

Control how often and when you receive notifications:

1. Open **Profile Settings**
2. Navigate to **Notifications** or **Email Preferences**
3. Choose your preferences:
   * **Email Notifications**: Receive updates via email (turn on/off)
   * **Notification Frequency**: Daily digest, weekly digest, or real-time
   * **Notification Types**: Select which types of events trigger notifications (comments, assignments, mentions, etc.)
4. Click **Save**

**Tip:** If you're receiving too many notifications, try switching to a **daily digest** instead of real-time alerts.

## What's Personal vs. Workspace-Wide

Your profile settings are **just for you**. Each person in your workspace has their own profile:

* **Your settings only affect you**: When you change your notification preferences, other team members aren't affected
* **Workspace settings are separate**: Your workspace admin manages workspace-level billing, team members, and features

## Privacy & Data

Your profile information is:

* **Visible to teammates**: Your name and photo appear to other workspace members
* **Private from outside viewers**: Only people invited to your workspace can see your profile
* **Secure**: Your password and email are never shared
