# Settings

> Manage your Minibuddies profile, preferences, and account. Update your name, avatar, and other settings.

## What is Settings?

**Settings** is where you manage your Minibuddies account and preferences. You can update your profile (name, avatar), adjust how the product behaves, and access account-related options. Settings are personal to your account and don't affect other users.

## Accessing Settings

From the dashboard, click **Settings** in the sidebar. The Settings page opens with sections for profile, preferences, and account management.

## Profile settings

Your profile includes information that identifies you in the product:

* **Name**  - The display name shown in the dashboard and, where applicable, in shared contexts. Update it to reflect how you want to be known.
* **Avatar**  - A profile image. You can upload a photo or remove the current one. Avatars help personalize the experience and make it easier to recognize your account.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    Click **Settings** in the dashboard sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit profile">
    Find the Profile or Account section. Update your name and, if desired, upload or change your avatar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save changes">
    Click **Save** or **Update** to apply your changes. They take effect immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Notifications

Minibuddies can send you in-app notifications for updates, alerts, and important events. Notifications appear in the dashboard (often via a bell icon in the header). You can:

* View unread notifications
* Mark notifications as read
* Configure notification preferences in Settings (if available)

Notification types may include info, alerts, success messages, and warnings. Check your notification center regularly to stay updated.

## Preferences

Preferences control how Minibuddies behaves for you. Options may include:

* **Language**  - If supported, choose your preferred language for the interface.
* **Timezone**  - Set your timezone so dates and times display correctly.
* **Notifications**  - Control whether you receive email or in-app notifications (if available).
* **Defaults**  - Set default agent, default view, or other starting options.

Available options depend on the current Minibuddies feature set. Check the Settings page for the latest options.

## Account and security

* **Email**  - The email address associated with your account. Changing it may require verification.
* **Sign-out**  - Sign out of Minibuddies on the current device. You'll need to sign in again to access your account.
* **Connected accounts**  - If you signed up with Google, you may see your connected Google account. Disconnecting may affect how you sign in - proceed with care.

<Warning>
  Changing your primary email or disconnecting a sign-in method can affect your ability to log in. Ensure you have a working way to access your account before making changes.
</Warning>

## Billing and subscription

Billing and subscription management may be available in Settings or through a dedicated Billing section:

* **Current plan**  - View your plan (Starter, Pro, Pro+).
* **Usage**  - See credit usage and limits for the current period.
* **Upgrade or change plan**  - Links or buttons to modify your subscription.
* **Payment method**  - Update your payment details (handled securely through our payment provider).

For full billing details, see the [pricing](/billing/pricing) and [subscriptions](/billing/subscriptions) docs.

## Integrations management

Some users manage integrations from Settings; others use the dedicated Integrations section. If available in Settings, you can:

* View connected integrations
* Disconnect integrations you no longer need
* Reconnect integrations if a connection has expired

For step-by-step integration guides, see the [Integrations section](/integrations/overview).

## Data and privacy

* **Data usage**  - Information about how your data is used to improve the service (if applicable).
* **Privacy policy**  - Link to the full privacy policy.
* **Terms of service**  - Link to the terms you agreed to when signing up.

## Troubleshooting

### Changes aren't saving

* Ensure you clicked **Save** or **Update**.
* Check your internet connection.
* Refresh the page and try again. If the issue persists, contact support.

### Avatar upload failed

* Verify the file format (typically JPG, PNG) and size limits.
* Try a smaller image or a different format.
* Ensure your browser allows file uploads for the site.

### Can't find a setting

* Settings may be reorganized over time. Look for related sections (e.g., Profile, Account, Billing).
* Some features may be plan-specific. Check whether the option is available on your plan.
* Contact support if you believe a setting is missing or incorrect.
