# Editing my own profile information


You edit your own profile from the **Profile & Preferences** settings, opened from your profile picture. Your name, profile picture, and cover image live on the **My Account** page. Your bio, professional details, and contact information live on the **Information** page. Every field saves automatically as you fill it in.

## How do I open my profile settings?

1. Click your **profile picture** to open the account menu.
2. Select **Profile & Preferences**.
3. In the settings menu, choose the page you want to edit: **My Account**, **Information**, or **Notifications**.

## How do I add my name, photo, and cover?

The **My Account** page holds your first name, last name, profile picture, and cover image.

1. Open **My Account** from the settings menu.
2. Enter your **First name** and **Last name**.
3. Select **Change profile picture** on your avatar to upload a photo, or **Delete profile picture** to remove it.
4. Select **Change cover picture** to upload a cover image. The recommended format is 1040 x 480 px, up to 2 MB.

Your changes save automatically.

## How do I complete my profile information?

The **Information** page holds your bio, professional details, and contact information.

1. Open **Information** from the settings menu.
2. Write a **Bio** and a **Motto**.
3. Under **Professional information**, fill in your **Position**, **Company**, and **Skills**.
4. Under **Contact information**, add your **Phone**, **Mobile**, and **Location**.

Each field saves automatically when you move to the next one. Some fields are managed by your organisation and appear read-only. Contact your administrator to change them.

## How do I set my reporting line?

When your organisation uses the Member Hierarchy add-on, you set who you report to and who reports to you from the **Professional information** block on the **Information** page.

- **Managed by**: the person you report to.
- **Manager of**: the people who report to you. Use **Add report** to add each one, and **Remove report** to remove them.

These fields are read-only when your organisation manages reporting lines centrally.
