You can update your name, company, role, and avatar at any time from the dashboard.\n\n---\n\n## Accessing Your Profile\n\nTo open your profile settings:\n\n1. Click your avatar or initials in the bottom-left corner of the Koji dashboard.\n2. Select **Profile** from the menu.\n\nThis opens the **Dashboard > Profile** page where you can edit all your profile fields.\n\n---\n\n## Profile Fields\n\nYour profile includes the following fields:\n\n### Display Name\n\nThis is the name shown to team members across the Koji platform. It appears in project activity feeds, comments, and interview attribution. Use your real name so colleagues can easily identify you.\n\nTo update your name:\n1. Click the **Display Name** field.\n2. Type your new name.\n3. Click **Save Changes**.\n\n### Company\n\nYour company name helps Koji personalize the experience and is used in team-related features. If you work with multiple organizations, set this to your primary organization.\n\nTo update your company:\n1. Click the **Company** field.\n2. Enter your company name.\n3. Click **Save Changes**.\n\n### Role\n\nYour role describes your position within your organization. This field uses a **dropdown menu** with the following options:\n\n- **Founder/CEO**\n- **GTM/Marketing**\n- **UX Researcher**\n- **Product Manager**\n- **PhD/Thesis Student**\n- **Other**\n\nThis information is used to tailor certain aspects of the platform experience and appears on your profile within team views.\n\nTo update your role:\n1. Click the **Role** dropdown.\n2. Select your role from the list.\n3. Click **Save Changes**.\n\n### Avatar\n\nYour avatar is the image displayed next to your name throughout the platform. A good avatar helps team members quickly identify you in collaborative contexts.\n\nTo update your avatar:\n1. Click on your current avatar image (or the default initials circle).\n2. Select an image file from your computer. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, and WebP.\n3. The image will be uploaded and applied.\n\nThe recommended avatar size is at least 200x200 pixels. Larger images are automatically resized. Square images work best since avatars are displayed in a circular crop.\n\n---\n\n## Email Address\n\nYour email address is displayed on the profile page but cannot be changed directly from the profile editor. Your email is tied to your authentication method. If you need to update your email address, this may require updating your sign-in method.\n\nYour email is used for:\n- Account recovery and security notifications\n- Team invitations and project notifications\n- Billing receipts and plan change confirmations\n\n---\n\n## When Profile Changes Take Effect\n\nProfile updates take effect immediately. The next time you or your team members load any page in Koji, the updated information is displayed. There is no delay or approval process.\n\nNote that changes to your display name or avatar may take a moment to propagate across all active sessions if you have Koji open in multiple tabs.\n\n---\n\n## Profile Visibility\n\nYour profile information is visible to:\n\n- **Team members** in any organization you belong to\n- **Project collaborators** who share projects with you\n\nYour profile is not visible to:\n\n- **Interview respondents.** Respondents see the project branding and interviewer persona, not your personal profile.\n- **The general public.** Koji does not publish user profiles publicly.\n\nThis means you can customize your profile for internal team collaboration without worrying about how it appears to external parties.\n\n---\n\n## Tips for a Good Profile\n\n- **Use your real name.** This helps team members find and recognize you quickly.\n- **Upload a clear photo.** A recognizable avatar makes collaboration smoother, especially in larger teams.\n- **Keep your role current.** If your position changes, update your profile so team-related features stay accurate.\n- **Set your company name.** This is especially helpful if you collaborate across multiple organizations.\n\n---\n\n## Deleting Your Account\n\nIf you want to delete your Koji account entirely, this is a separate action from editing your profile. Account deletion is permanent and removes all your personal data, project ownership, and team memberships. To request account deletion, look for the option at the bottom of the Profile page or contact support.\n\nBefore deleting your account, consider:\n- Transferring ownership of any projects you own to a team member.\n- Downloading any data or exports you want to keep.\n- Informing collaborators who rely on shared projects.\n\n---\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Avatar upload fails\n\nMake sure your image file is under 5MB and in a supported format (JPEG, PNG, or WebP). If the upload continues to fail, try a different browser or clear your browser cache.\n\n### Changes not appearing\n\nProfile updates are instant but may require a page refresh to appear in all tabs. Hard refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) if changes are not visible.\n\n---\n\n## Related Resources\n\n- [Creating Your Account](/docs/creating-your-account) — Account setup guide\n- [Managing API Keys](/docs/managing-api-keys) — API key management\n- [Bring Your Own Key](/docs/bring-your-own-key) — Custom AI provider keys\n- [Quick Start Guide](/docs/quick-start-guide) — Get started with Koji","category":"Account & Settings","lastModified":"2026-04-25T19:14:08.521275+00:00","metaTitle":"Editing Your Profile — Koji Docs","metaDescription":"Update your name, company, role, and avatar in your Koji account settings for better team collaboration.","keywords":["profile settings","account settings","avatar","display name","user profile"],"aiSummary":"Guide to editing your Koji profile at Dashboard > Profile.
