Settings: overview
Settings: overview
In Settings, you manage three areas: Account, Workspace, and Organization. This is where you adjust your profile and notifications, manage members and connections – and set the strategic foundations for your content.
Many problems can be solved here quickly: missing data, disconnected channels, the wrong time zone, or unclear roles. Once you understand which setting lives where, you save yourself a lot of searching.
If you're just getting started and wondering in what order to approach setup and connections, the onboarding overview helps: Onboarding overview: get started in just a few minutes.
Where do I find Settings?
You reach Settings via the user menu (bottom left). There you'll find the Account, Workspace, and Organization areas.
1) Account: your profile, security & notifications
These are settings that only affect you.
- Profile:
- First and last name
- Email address
- Job title & bio
- Language & region
- Time zone, date format, time format
- Security: change your password
- Notifications: email and push notifications
2) Workspace: everything about your workspace
These are settings that are relevant to everyone in the workspace.
Typical areas:
- General: workspace avatar, name, and description (see: Workspace settings: general)
- Labels: add, edit, or delete labels
- Members: invite workspace members, change roles, or remove them from the workspace
- Social Media Accounts: connect and manage accounts (available vs. connected)
- Apps: manage integrations (currently e.g. Canva)
- AI Crew: configure the AI Crew
- Language, form of address, response length, emojis, fine-tuning
- Knowledge base (documents as reference material)
- Rules/do's & don'ts, topic priorities, platform settings (e.g. hashtag strategy, post length, tone adjustment)
3) Organization: brand & strategy
The organization sits above everything and bundles strategic foundations.
Typical areas:
- Brand Hub: filled automatically during onboarding (e.g. from your company website) and contains, among other things, your brand identity plus company and marketing goals – everything can be adjusted later
- Strategy Hub: have a strategy created for you or build one yourself
- Members: manage organization members
- Billing: view your current subscription plan and usage figures
What should you check first if something doesn't work?
- Social Media AccountsIf a connection isn't clean, posting, Inbox, and Insights can be limited.
- Members / rolesIf someone "can't see" something or can't edit it, it's often a permissions issue.
- Account profile (time zone/format)If times or dates look "odd", it's often a wrong time zone or format.
✅ Quick start: Problems with posting/Inbox/Insights? Check Social Media Accounts first. Team issue? Check members and roles. Wrong times? Check time zone/format in your account profile.
