Section Overview
Settings
Account, global environment, and notification settings are part of day-to-day platform administration.
Profile and account settings
Use account-level settings for user profile and basic account administration.
Goal
Clarify what belongs in account settings versus what belongs in operations or team areas.
Expected result
Account configuration feels separate from infrastructure operations.
Security and connections
Manage password changes, active sessions, GitHub app installs, and other connected-account behavior from the settings area.
Goal
Document the settings surfaces that affect account security and third-party integrations.
Expected result
Users know where to manage account security and integration state without hunting through unrelated product areas.
Global environment variables
Understand the global env surface and how it differs from project- or stack-specific runtime configuration.
Goal
Help users avoid confusing local runtime variables with broader environment configuration.
Expected result
Env-var scope is chosen more deliberately.
Notifications
Use the notifications surfaces to stay aware of platform activity and alerts.
Goal
Explain where notifications fit relative to operations alerts and resource detail pages.
Expected result
Notifications and operational alerts are not confused for each other.
