Live. This area is documented as current, user-reliable behavior.

​
Goal

Clarify what belongs in account settings versus what belongs in operations or team areas.

​
Prerequisites

  • A signed-in account

​
Workflow

1
Use settings for account-level preferences and profile updates.
2
Use team surfaces for collaboration-level actions.

​
What the general tab includes

  • Account identity and immutable system identifiers
  • Language, region, and timezone preferences
  • Theme presentation and a visible danger-zone area for account deletion

​
Where other account concerns live

Account settings is for who you are and how the product is presented to you. Password, sessions, and connected accounts live under Security and connections; collaboration lives under teams; cost and plan live under billing. Keeping these separate is why this page stays small.

​
Expected result

Account configuration feels separate from infrastructure operations.

Security and connections

Manage password changes, active sessions, GitHub app installs, and other connected-account behavior from the settings area.

Notifications

Use the notifications surfaces to stay aware of platform activity and alerts.
