User Profile Overview

Each user in Confluence has a user profile.

On this page:

Finding your User Profile

Go to the 'Preferences' view for your user profile. To do this:

• Log in to Confluence, if you have not already done so.
• Go to your name at the top of the page. (This is the 'User' menu. A dropdown list will appear when your cursor hovers over the 'User' menu.)
• Select 'Preferences' from the dropdown list. The 'Preferences' view will open.

The profile view is divided into the tabs, each described in a separate section below.
