The Profile Settings page is your personal account hub. Here you manage your profile image, display name, and any workspaces that were hidden when you joined an organization.
Accessing Profile Settings
- Open Settings
- Toggle to User Settings using the switch at the top of the settings sidebar
- Click Profile Settings
Profile Image
The profile image section lets you upload a custom avatar or choose from PawPlacer's built-in avatars. Uploaded images are stored on your personal account and appear anywhere PawPlacer shows your user avatar.
To update your image:
- Upload a profile image, or select one of the built-in avatars
- Click Save Avatar when choosing a built-in avatar
- Wait for the success message before leaving the page
Display Name
Your display name is how you appear throughout PawPlacer: next to your comments, in activity logs, and anywhere your identity is shown to other team members. Click the name field to update it, then save.
Your login email is shown on this page for reference. Email changes are handled on the Credentials page.
Hidden Workspaces
When you accept an invitation to join an organization, PawPlacer automatically hides any solo workspace that was created with your account. This keeps your dashboard focused on the organization you joined; hidden workspaces are not deleted, just tucked away.
Viewing Hidden Workspaces
If you have any hidden workspaces, a Hidden Workspaces section appears at the bottom of the Profile Settings page. Each entry shows the workspace name and the date it was hidden.
Restoring a Workspace
Click Restore next to any hidden workspace to bring it back. The workspace reappears in your account immediately and a confirmation message is shown.
