Edit Personal Profile Information

This guide explains how to access and edit your personal profile information in Trello, including your display name, username, and other account details. Managing your profile ensures your identity is correctly represented across all boards and collaborations.

Why Update Your Profile

Keeping your profile information current is essential for team collaboration and professional identity. Your profile name and details appear when you're assigned to cards, comment on tasks, and interact with team members across workspaces.

Accessing Profile Settings

To access your profile settings, you'll need to navigate through your account menu. Your profile settings are separate from workspace settings and affect how you appear across all Trello boards and teams.

1

Click on your profile name and avatar in the top-right corner of any Trello page. This opens your account menu with various options for managing your account and settings.

2

From the dropdown menu, click Settings. This opens your account settings page where you can manage various aspects of your Trello account, including profile information, preferences, and security settings.

3

In the settings sidebar, click Profile and visibility. This section contains all your personal profile information including your display name, username, bio, and profile visibility settings.

Editing Profile Information

Once you're in the Profile and visibility section, you can edit various aspects of your profile. Each field has its own Edit button that allows you to modify specific information.

1

Locate the Full name field and click the Edit button next to it. This opens an editable text field where you can modify your display name that appears to other team members.

2

Replace the existing text with your new full name. This name will be displayed across all boards where you're a member and will appear when you're assigned to cards or mentioned in comments.

Additional Profile Fields

The Profile and visibility page contains several other editable fields that help define your Trello identity:

• Username: Your unique identifier for mentions and profile URLs
• Bio: A brief description about yourself or your role
• Profile Photo: Your avatar image displayed across Trello
• Visibility Settings: Controls who can see your profile information

Each field can be edited individually using the same process: click the Edit button, make your changes, and save.

Best Practices for Profile Management

• Use your real name or a recognizable professional name for better team collaboration
• Keep your profile information current, especially when changing roles or teams
• Consider your profile visibility settings based on your organization's privacy requirements
• Use a professional profile photo to help team members identify you in collaborations

Conclusion

Managing your personal profile information in Trello is essential for effective team collaboration and professional identity. By keeping your profile current and complete, you ensure that team members can easily identify and collaborate with you across all projects and workspaces.
