# Personal Settings

The **Personal Settings** area allows each user to manage their individual profile, preferences, and security-related options. These settings apply only to the currently logged-in user and do not affect the overall account configuration.

#### Profile Information

Users can update their personal profile details, including:

* Profile image
* First and last name

These settings are used across the platform for localization, notifications, and user identification.

Users can customize how the platform is displayed:

* **Layout:**
  * Default
  * Simplified

  * Dark

  Controls how many items are displayed in lists.\
  This setting is stored locally on the device and is not synchronized across devices.

#### Upload and Workflow Preferences

* **Query file upload source language**\
  When enabled, the user is prompted to define the source language when uploading or importing files into on-demand projects.
* **Activate approval queue**\
  When enabled, additional indicators are shown for shared files and approval status across projects, allowing easier project switching during review workflows.

#### Password and Security

Users can manage security-related settings, including:

* Changing their account password\
  (After a password change, the user is logged out from all active sessions.)
* **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):**
  * SMS
  * Email
  * Disabled

  Older sessions are automatically invalidated when the limit is reached.
