Update settings

Update your settings

The Settings page is where you maintain your own account details after you sign in. Open Your Settings when you need to change your profile picture URL, username, bio, email, or password. The page is available at /settings.

The profile page links your own profile to this task through Edit Profile Settings. The settings page supports creating, reading, and updating user information; it does not provide a delete operation.

Before you start

Your account settings are personal details associated with the signed-in user. You need to be signed in before opening the Settings page, and you need the details you want to enter before you begin.

Prerequisites

• You are signed in.
• You have the profile picture URL, username, bio, email, or new password you want to enter.
• You know which details you want to leave unchanged.

The form loads the current user's details when that user is available. The page does not use a conditional field rule, so the same five settings fields are part of the form.

Open Your Settings

Use Edit Profile Settings from your own profile, or open the authenticated /settings route directly.

Steps

1. Choose one entry path:

   If you need to…	Select or use
   Open settings from your own profile	Select Edit Profile Settings.
   Open the authenticated route directly	Open /settings.

Result: The Settings form opens with the five settings fields and its account controls.

Understand the Settings screen

The Settings screen is a single form for your profile details and password. Its fields are the places where you enter the values you want to maintain.

Select Update Settings to submit the form. While a submission is in progress, the form fields are disabled. The page also provides Or click here to logout. below the form.

Save your settings

Change one or more details in Your Settings when needed. Leave a detail as it is when you do not want to change it.

Prerequisites

• Your Settings is open.
• You know which values to enter.

Steps

1. Enter the profile picture address in URL of profile picture when you want to change it.
2. Enter the account name in Username when you want to change it.
3. Enter your description in Short bio about you when you want to change it.
4. Enter your address in Email when you want to change it.
5. Enter a new password in New Password when you want to change it.
6. Select Update Settings.
7. Review the returned user's profile.

The password field is included in the form, but an empty password is removed from the update request. A successful update uses the returned user information and takes you to that user's profile.

Note: Leave New Password empty when you are not changing the password.

Result: Your settings are submitted, and a successful update opens the returned user's profile.

Choose an account-maintenance branch

The Settings form includes New Password, while the separate Or click here to logout. control handles signing out. Use the branch that matches the task you need to complete.

Steps

1. Choose one account-maintenance task:

   If you need to…	Select or use
   Change the password as its own task	Select Change your password.
   Leave the account signed in and update profile details	Select Save your settings.
   End the signed-in session	Select Or click here to logout.

Result: You can continue with the account-maintenance task you selected.

When an update goes wrong

The Settings error list contains the server response for an unsuccessful update.

Prerequisites

• Your Settings is open.
• You have selected Update Settings.

Steps

1. Read the item in the error list.
2. Review the error list after the update response finishes.

The screen renders each server error as <key> <message> in its error list.

Result: The error item is visible in the error list, and you know to review it before trying the update again.

Know what to do next

After a successful settings update, continue from the returned user's profile. To edit those details again, use Edit Profile Settings, which opens /settings from your own profile.

If your next task is account security, use Change your password. If you are finished with the account, use Sign out.

Result: You know whether to continue with the profile, password, or sign-out task.
