Account and application preferences

Setting covers profile, sign-in and security, language, appearance, notification permissions, AI personalization, and restarting the product tour. Use the account area for identity and security information and the settings area for application preferences. Subscription billing and credits belong in Plans.

A preference can be remembered by the account, current browser, or device depending on the control. Check the state shown on each device rather than assuming that every visual or push setting synchronizes everywhere. Changing preferences does not publish your notes.

Inspect your account profile

The account page shows available profile information such as display name, email, avatar, and bio. Use it to confirm which account is currently signed in before importing, subscribing, or editing material. Your display identity can appear beside published notes, comments, and social activity.

The email displayed for the account is not necessarily an editable profile field. Use only the offered form controls for changes. Updating a public display name is different from changing the authentication identity or moving notes to a different account.

Edit your profile

A bio should explain the context of your work without disclosing sensitive information. An avatar upload has its own processing and limits; wait for completion before closing the form.

1. Open the profile edit control from the account area.
2. Review the current display name, bio, and avatar fields offered by the form.
3. Choose an appropriate image and edit the text, avoiding private information you do not want shown with your activity.
4. Save and wait for confirmation.
5. Inspect the account profile and a relevant author/profile surface after the update.

Sign in and recover access

Use the sign-in method associated with your account, including a supported provider or email/password flow. Public reading can work without a session, while your workspace and account controls require authentication. Complete consent when the app asks before entering protected areas.

For password recovery, open the available recovery flow, submit the account email, and follow the recovery link. Use the password-update screen reached by that flow. Do not assume signing in through a different provider creates access to the same notes automatically.

1. Check the email and sign-in method you previously used.
2. Use recovery if you cannot authenticate with a password.
3. Follow the returned confirmation or recovery instructions.
4. Return to your account and verify that the expected notes and subscription are present.

Change a password and sign out

The account security area provides a password-change form where supported. Complete its required fields and wait for the result. A provider-managed sign-in can involve that provider's own authentication settings, so inspect the actual form or message rather than assuming all accounts use the same password flow.

Sign out through the account menu when leaving a shared device. Before signing out, wait for saves, uploads, and pending personal edits to finish. Signing out is different from cancelling a subscription or deleting notes.

Choose the display language

R-report's interface supports English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. Choose a language through the language selector. The current web locale is remembered through a browser cookie, without a language prefix in note URLs.

Changing the interface language changes translated controls; it does not automatically translate your existing note text, an author's public note, or the English documentation. Use AI translation explicitly when you want to transform content, and review its output.

Appearance and point color

Use the appearance/theme control to choose the offered light or dark presentation. The point-color selector changes the app's selected emphasis where supported. These preferences affect interface presentation rather than note meaning or publication state.

Choose a presentation that keeps long text and controls readable. Inspect the current setting on another browser or device instead of assuming every preference has the same storage scope. Generated images and external embeds have their own colors and are not automatically recolored by a theme change.

Enable browser push notifications

The push control can be unavailable on unsupported browsers. Browser permission and the app's push subscription are both relevant; granting permission alone is not proof that a specific alert was delivered. In-app notifications remain a separate place to inspect activity.

1. Open the push-notification preference on a supported browser/device.
2. Choose Allow or the offered enable control.
3. Review and accept the browser's notification permission prompt if you want alerts.
4. Wait for subscription confirmation and inspect the displayed enabled state.
5. Use Turn off when you no longer want push delivery on that browser/device.

Resolve notification permission problems

If push permission was denied, the browser may require you to change the site's permission through its own settings before enabling it again. The app cannot silently override a browser or operating-system denial. Check device notification settings when the site reports enabled but alerts do not appear.

Turning off push does not unsubscribe from an author's newsletter, remove your follower relationships, or mark every in-app notification read. Manage those channels through Connect, the relevant subscription control, and the app's notification view.

Control AI personalization

Eligible active accounts can enable or disable AI personalization through its Setting control. The screen shows whether the account has access and whether the preference is saving. If access is unavailable, the control can be disabled rather than pretending to save a change.

Personalization supports relevant use of accessible personal-note context, such as earlier ideas or writing preferences. It is not a claim that all your notes are automatically included in every request. Turning it off does not remove the page, block, or source context you explicitly select for the current question.

1. Open the AI personalization preference and inspect the access state.
2. Choose the intended on/off state when the control is available.
3. Wait for saving and check for an error before leaving.
4. Use explicit AI scope and context selections regardless of the personalization preference.

Restart the product tour

Use the product-tour restart control when you want to revisit the introductory guidance. It restarts onboarding guidance and returns to Open Notes in the current flow. It can also reset the intro note's dismissed state for the signed-in account.

Restarting the tour is not an account reset. It does not erase your notes, reset every study stage, or cancel subscriptions. Use it to relearn navigation after a long break or a product update.

Apply settings safely across devices

• Wait for a save or confirmation when the control makes an account update.
• Check the current account before changing profile or personalization settings.
• Inspect browser/device permission separately from in-app push preference.
• Keep the language cookie available if you want the browser to remember the display locale.
• Treat content translation, UI language, and speech-recognition language as distinct choices.
• Before leaving a shared device, finish note saves and sign out deliberately.

Troubleshoot Setting and account access

• Expected notes are absent: verify the signed-in account and sign-in method before changing settings.
• Profile edit fails: check the required fields, image limits, session, and actual save message.
• Language does not persist: inspect cookie availability and the current browser's locale setting.
• Push control is missing: the browser/device may not support this push flow.
• Push permission is denied: review the site's browser permission and device notification settings.
• AI personalization cannot be changed: check active plan eligibility and the displayed error or access state.
• Tour reappears after restart: restarting intentionally restores onboarding guidance; it does not delete your account content.
• A billing or credit problem persists: use Plans and its account/billing controls rather than changing profile or theme settings.
