Profile settings​

Your profile includes details about you, primarily your name and display name, which are visible to others, especially in the assignee or creator sections of issues and other entities. You can update this information here.

Additionally, you have the option to deactivate your account, which removes you from all the workspaces you are associated with. However, please note that deactivating your account will not delete the issues or any other entities created by you.

Preferences​

You can customize how Plane looks or adjust the frequency of emails you receive from us via your preferences.

Theme​

By default, the theme on Plane is light. You have the option to synchronize it with your system's preference, select from a range of themes provided by us, or create a custom theme that reflects your personality.

To create your custom theme, you can specify the following:

  • Background color: This sets the background color for all platform sections except the sidebar (such as dashboard, issues, pages, etc.).
  • Text color: Determines the color of text across the platform, excluding the sidebar.
  • Primary color: Defines the color of all call-to-action buttons and selections in the navigation.
  • Sidebar background color: Sets the background color of the side navigation bar.
  • Sidebar text color: Specifies the color of text displayed on the side navigation bar.

Email​

By default, email-based notifications are disabled for new users. You have the option to enable all notifications or select specific types of notifications. Once you save your preferences, you will only receive email notifications for issues that match the preferences you have selected.

  • Changes in issue state or properties made by others
  • Mentions of you on issues
  • Comments added to issues
  • Issues created and assigned to you
