# Update your profile


# Update your profile

Your profile is how colleagues see you across Smart Core Connect — your name, photo, and job title. This guide shows you how to personalise it.

## Open your profile

1. **Open** the **user menu** (your avatar or initials in the top corner).
2. **Click** **Settings**.
3. Your profile page opens, showing your current details.

## Set your preferred name

Your preferred name is what appears next to your photo throughout the app. It is separate from your formal first and last name — so if you go by "Rob" instead of "Robert", this is where to set that.

1. On your profile page, find the **Preferred Name** field.
2. **Type** the name you would like to be known by.
3. **Click** **Save**.

> **Tip:** If you leave the preferred name blank, your formal first and last name will be shown instead.

## Upload a profile photo

1. On your profile page, find your current avatar (or the placeholder icon).
2. **Click** the avatar area or the **Upload** button.
3. **Choose** a photo from your device. Accepted formats are JPEG, PNG, or WebP, up to 1 MB.
4. Your new photo appears on your profile and across the app wherever your name is shown.

To remove your photo, **click** **Remove** next to your avatar. Your profile will revert to the default placeholder.

## Update your job title

1. On your profile page, find the **Position** field.
2. **Type** your updated job title.
3. **Click** **Save**.

> **Note:** Some organisations manage job titles centrally. If the **Position** field appears greyed out, your administrator has not enabled self-editing for this field. Contact your administrator if your title needs updating.
