# Set up your profile and notifications

> How to set your name, avatar and language in Collabase, choose which notifications you receive, get an email digest and change your password.

Your profile controls how others see you in Collabase and which notifications you receive. These settings only affect your own account.

Open your profile by clicking your **avatar** in the bottom-left corner of the sidebar and selecting **Profile** or **Settings**.

## Your details

On the **Profile** tab, set your full name, job title and avatar. Click **Save changes** when you are done.

If your company manages accounts through a directory (LDAP, SAML or SCIM), your name and email may be locked in Collabase. Change them in the directory instead.

## Language

Choose English, German, French or Italian on the **Preferences** tab. The interface reloads in the new language right away.

## Notifications

In-app notifications appear under the **bell icon** in the top navigation bar. On the **Notifications** tab you can turn each type on or off:

| Notification                | When you get it                       |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| **Task assigned to you**    | Someone assigns a task to you         |
| **Task mentioned you**      | Someone @mentions you in a task       |
| **Page commented**          | Someone comments on a page you follow |
| **Page mentioned you**      | Someone @mentions you on a page       |
| **Test run completed**      | A test run you watch finishes         |
| **Automation notification** | An automation sends you a message     |

If email is set up on your instance, you can also get a **Daily** or **Weekly** email digest of unread notifications.
