Your profile picture is used as the icon for your personal space, to represent you in the People Directory, and to illustrate your comments. It also appears in various other places next to your name, such as in the list of recent updates on the dashboard.

When you upload your profile picture, you can choose to resize it, reposition it and rotate it. From the same area, you can change your profile picture to display your initials instead of an image, and remove your uploaded image or initials if you prefer the default user image.
