# Settings (https://docs.fuser.studio/docs/interface/settings)

The Settings modal is your control panel for everything that follows you across workspaces — your name and avatar, your editor theme, and the notifications Fuser sends you by email. It's separate from workspace-level settings (members, teams, billing for the workspace itself), which live under their own tab.

## Opening Settings [#opening-settings]

Click the workspace switcher in the top bar, then the gear icon next to your identity. Settings opens in a modal — its own routed page, not an overlay inside the canvas.

The modal has tabs along the side. The personal tabs are **Profile**, **Providers**, **Billing & Plans**, **Editor**, and **Notifications**. **Workspace**, **Workspace Billing**, and **Recovery** are workspace-scoped and only show up when you're inside a workspace.

This page covers the three personal tabs that don't have their own dedicated docs: **Profile**, **Editor**, and **Notifications**. For the others see [Providers](https://docs.fuser.studio/docs/interface/api-keys.md), [Billing & Plans](https://docs.fuser.studio/docs/interface/billing.md), and [Workspace Settings](https://docs.fuser.studio/docs/teams/workspace-settings.md).

## Profile [#profile]

The **Profile** tab is your account identity. It holds:

* **Name** — what other people see next to your contributions, comments, and shares. Free-text, unicode-friendly.
* **Username** — your unique handle (4–15 characters, lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores). Used in URLs and @-mentions. The field validates as you type and checks availability live; if a name is taken, you'll see it before you submit.
* **About me** — a short bio (up to 255 characters) shown on your public profile and on community templates you publish.
* **Avatar** — the small image that represents you across the app.
* **Email** — read-only. Tied to the account you signed in with.

Changes save with the **Update** button. There's also a **Logout** button at the bottom of the tab.

These details follow you into every workspace you belong to — you don't have a separate profile per workspace.

## Editor [#editor]

The **Editor** tab controls how the Fuser interface looks and feels.

* **Theme** — pick **Light**, **Dark**, or **System**. System matches your OS appearance setting and updates automatically when it changes.

Theme is saved locally per browser, so it doesn't follow you across devices — a fresh browser starts on the default until you set it again.

## Notifications [#notifications]

The **Notifications** tab is where you opt in or out of email Fuser sends about events that affect you.

Toggle each category independently:

* **Comments** — when someone replies to a comment thread you're in or @-mentions you.
* **Sharing** — when someone shares a project, folder, or workspace with you.
* **Teams** — when you're added to or removed from a team.
* **Workspace** — workspace-wide events like role changes, plan updates, or admin actions.

> [!NOTE] In-app notifications stay on
>
> These toggles only control email. In-app notifications — the ones that show up in the notification panel inside Fuser — are always on, regardless of what you set here.
