Profile
Overview
Your profile found in Settings > Account > Profile is where you personalize how other team members will see you in your Linear workspace.
Set your profile picture
The default avatar will be the first and last initials of your account. To add a new photo, hover over the avatar until the edit pencil icon shows up, and click on it. A pop-up folder will show up for you to select the photo you want to update.
Once you've updated your avatar, you cannot remove it—only replace it with another photo.
Name and username
Members can set whether they see their team members' full names or usernames in their Settings > Account > Preferences. You can adjust these to your preference of how you want others to refer you to.
Email address
Your email address is your unique ID (User Account) for all workspaces you have created a User for. For example:
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| You joined Workspace A using jane.doe@email.com | A User Account was created under jane.doe@gmail.com and a User was created for Workspace A. |
| You joined Workspace B. | A User was created for Workspace B under your User Account jane.doe@email.com |
| You updated your email address in Workspace B to jdoe@gmail.com | Your email address for your User Account, Workspace A, and Workspace B was updated to jdoe@email.com. Jane.doe@email.com does not exist. |
Change your email address
To change your email address:
- Go to Settings > Account > Profile.
- Hover over your email address and click the pencil icon.
- A pop-up box will appear for you to enter the new email address you want to switch to.
- A confirmation email will be sent to both old and new email addresses. You need to click both in order for the new email address to be confirmed.
Changing an email address will change the email address for all workspaces using the old email address. If you want to change the email address for just one workspace, we suggest inviting that email as a new user and leaving the workspace from the old email user.
Personal integrations
Personal integrations are software integrations in which each user has their own specific account. This helps Linear to associate your Linear user when an action taken in the third-party integration. You can see which of your account integrations are connected with Linear, as well as disconnect them.
Leave your workspace
To leave the workspace, click the Leave workspace option. Once removed, you no longer have access to the workspace. An admin will have to unsuspend your account in order for you to log back in.
