My Profile lets employees manage their own personal and work-related data, absences, and settings.

## Account

Use the **Account** tab for fundamental user settings.

### Avatar

Upload a profile picture with **Upload file** or drag and drop an image. It appears throughout Leadtime in places such as projects, comments, and time entries.

### Language

<img src="/images/help-center/profile/profile-account-03.png" alt="Profile – Account – Language" style={{ width: '85%' }} />

Choose **German** or **English** under **Language**. This changes all menus and system copy for your account and overrides the Workspace's [General Settings](/administration/workspace-settings/general-settings).

### Workspace Color

![Profile – Account – Workspace Color](/images/help-center/profile/profile-account-04.png)

Choose a personal Workspace color even when it overrides the company's general setting. Nine schemes support Light and Dark Mode:

- Default (Leadtime Orange)
- Black
- Red
- Pink
- Magenta
- Green
- Blue
- Yellow
- Purple

Without a personal choice, Leadtime uses the default from Workspace [Appearance](/administration/workspace-settings/appearance).

---

### Navigation animations

Choose whether pages slide left and right when you move between screens. This does not stop other motion in the app, such as opening a group in the left menu.

- **Use workspace default:** Follows the setting in Workspace [Appearance](/administration/workspace-settings/appearance). New accounts start here, and the workspace default is **Disabled**.
- **Enabled:** Always play the slide, even if the workspace has it disabled.
- **Disabled:** Never play the slide, even if the workspace has it enabled.

### Notifications

- **Email notifications:** Receive regular summaries of new tasks, project activity, or status changes.
