title: Personal Settings and Workspaces
description: Change your profile and language, review workspace memberships, and create another workspace.
---

Personal settings affect your own Runner account. The Workspaces page lets you inspect another workspace's settings or create a new workspace without mixing those controls with one store.

## What this covers

You will be able to change your name, avatar, and interface language, and safely identify which workspace settings you are viewing.

## Availability and prerequisites

- You must be signed in.
- Your email is displayed but read-only in the current **My Settings** page.
- Workspace creation and membership actions can be limited by account permission or current workspace state.

## Entry paths

- Profile: **avatar → Settings → Personal → My Settings**
- Workspace list: **avatar → Settings → Personal → Workspaces**

## My Settings controls

| Entry or button | Why it is useful | What happens next |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Name** | Change the name other Runner users see. | A valid change saves automatically. |
| Email | Confirm which account is signed in. | The field is read-only on this page. |
| Avatar | Choose an image or emoji-style avatar. | The picker opens; saving refreshes the account image. |
| **Language** | Change Runner's interface language. | Runner saves the choice and reloads the current page in that locale. |
| **Weekly performance emails** | Receive your store's performance report in your inbox once a week. | The switch saves whether Runner sends the report; it is enabled by default. |
| **Interface sounds** | Hear a soft click for taps, toggles, and alerts. | The switch saves the preference; turn it off for silence. |

## Update your profile

1. Open **Personal → My Settings**.
2. Edit **Name** and wait for **Saved**.
3. Select the avatar to open the picker, review the preview, and save it.
4. Choose a **Language** only when you are ready for the page to reload.
5. Confirm the localized URL and interface after reload.

## Workspaces controls

| Entry or button | Why it is useful | What happens next |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Workspace card | Identify a workspace by name, displayed plan, and member count. | The row remains read-only until you choose an action. |
| **Settings** | Inspect a different workspace without closing the dialog. | The dialog switches to that workspace's settings. It is disabled for the workspace already shown. |
| **New Workspace** | Create another workspace. | The workspace-creation dialog opens; after success, Settings shows the new workspace. |

The Personal Workspaces list does not provide the current visible Leave action. To leave an eligible workspace, use **Workspace → Members → Leave**.

## Review or create a workspace

1. Open **Personal → Workspaces**.
2. Confirm the workspace name, plan label, and member count.
3. Select **Settings** on another workspace to inspect its settings in the same dialog.
4. To create one, select **New Workspace** and complete the creation dialog.
5. Verify the new workspace name before adding members, stores, or billing details.

## States and limits

- An invalid or empty Name does not replace the saved name.
- A language update keeps the control busy until persistence and navigation finish.
- The current workspace's **Settings** button is disabled because it is already open.
- Workspace cards can load plan and member data after the list itself appears.
- My Settings does not expose Security, sessions, or API-key controls; use their dedicated pages.

## Troubleshooting

- If the name returns to its earlier value, correct the validation issue and wait for Saved.
- If avatar save fails, keep the picker open and retry with a supported selection.
- If language does not change, wait for the current update to finish, then select it again once.
- If you opened the wrong workspace's settings, return to Personal → Workspaces and select the intended card's **Settings**.
- If you need to leave, open that workspace's Members page instead of looking for Leave here.
