Appearance Settings

Customize the look and feel of your workspace.

Appearance settings let you personalize your workspace with custom terminology and display defaults. These settings help align the platform with your team's vocabulary and visual preferences.

To access terminology settings, go to Settings in the sidebar, then select the General tab and click on Terminology in the sidebar.

Terminology Customization

Rename key concepts to match your organization's language:

Default Term	Description	Example Alternatives
Team	Your organizational unit	Department, Group, Squad
Files	File storage area	Data Room, Assets, Resources
Issues	Work items and tasks	Tickets, Tasks, Items
Dashboards	Main dashboard area	Home, Overview, Hub
Milestones	Project milestones	Phases, Sprints, Goals
Documents	Document storage	Notes, Pages, Wiki
Meetings	Meeting management	Calls, Conferences, Events

Changing Terminology

Navigate to Settings > General
Click Terminology in the sidebar
Enter your preferred term for each concept
Click Save Changes

The new terminology appears throughout the workspace interface, including navigation menus and labels.

Theme Preferences

Theme preferences are configured at the user level through the account settings, not workspace settings. Each user can personalize their visual experience independently:

Setting	Options	Description
Color Mode	Light, Dark, System	Choose your preferred color scheme
Accent Color	Multiple options	Highlight color for interactive elements
Sidebar Style	Expanded, Collapsed	Default sidebar state

Theme preferences are user-specific and don't affect other team members. To access theme settings, click on your avatar in the sidebar and go to account preferences.

Default Record Permissions

Set the default visibility for newly created records. This is configured in Settings > Access & Permissions > Default Permissions:

Default	Description
Private	Only the creator can see new records
Team	The creator's team can view new records
Organization	The creator's organization can view new records
Space	All space members can view new records

Users can always adjust permissions on individual records after creation.

App-Specific Settings

Each app has its own configuration accessible from the Settings > App Settings tab:

App	Available Settings
Tasks & Issues	Issue types, status management, custom fields
Files	Allowed file types and upload restrictions
