# Profile & Account

Your Trace profile is visible to team members and on shared conversations.

## Editing Your Profile

Go to **Dashboard > Settings** to update:

* **Display name** — Your username (2-30 characters, letters, numbers, and underscores only)
* **First and last name** — Used in emails and team notifications
* **Headline** — A short professional tagline (max 160 characters)
* **Bio** — About you (max 500 characters)
* **Location** — City, state, or country
* **Website** — Personal or company URL
* **Social links** — X (Twitter), LinkedIn, GitHub handles

<Tip>
  Your display name must be unique across Trace. It's used in your public profile URL.
</Tip>

## Avatar

Upload a profile photo from the Settings page. Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP. Maximum size: 2MB.

## Public Profile

If you're a beta user with a display name set, you have a public profile at:

```
buildwithtrace.com/u/yourusername
```

This shows your display name, headline, bio, and social links. It does not show your email, conversations, or usage data.

## Changing Your Email

1. Go to **Dashboard > Settings > Security**
2. Click **Change email**
3. Enter your new email address
4. Confirm the change via the verification email sent to your new address

<Warning>
  Changing your email affects your login credentials. Team invites sent to your old email will no longer work — ask your team admin to re-invite you at the new address.
</Warning>

## Changing Your Password

1. Go to **Dashboard > Settings > Security**
2. Click **Change password**
3. Enter your current password and new password

## Deleting Your Account

Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone:

2. Click **Delete account**
3. Confirm by typing your email

This removes your profile, conversations, and version history. If you're a team member, you'll be removed from all teams. Active subscriptions are cancelled.
