Managing your Mindsmith account settings allows you to personalize your profile, adjust your notification preferences, and keep your login credentials secure.
To access these settings, open your organization settings and scroll down to the Account category in the left sidebar. From there, you can click on either the Profile or Account Security tab.
Profile Settings
The Profile tab is where you manage your public-facing details, interface preferences, and email notifications. Whenever you make adjustments here, be sure to click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen.
Updating Personal Details
You can easily update the name and email address associated with your account.
To change your profile picture:
Hover over your current avatar at the top of the Profile tab.

Select an image file from your computer to upload.
Note: If you log into Mindsmith using a third-party service (like Google or Microsoft), your email address field will be disabled. You must manage your email directly through that third-party provider.
Changing Your Language
If you prefer to navigate Mindsmith in a different language, locate the Language dropdown menu. Click the menu to select your preferred interface language from the supported options. This will immediately update the text across your authoring environment.
