Your account

Account is DOTV's "about me" screen: the account itself, the things you've published, the membership you've bought, plus your own credits and storage. This screen only ever shows your personal account — team membership, credits and storage are on three other pages, in team management. Five pages sit side by side in the left column; credits, membership and storage get a section each (14.3 / 14.4 / 14.5). This one is about the Account page: getting there, what you can change, how personal and team accounts split, and theme and language.

Getting there

What sits under the avatar at the top rightThe top is a stack of cards, each opening its own page in a new tab: the first one goes to Account, then your plan, your credit balance and Storage. The rows below are the menu proper — Appearance first (Light / Dark / System), Sign out last.
Open the avatar in the top right and this is what's under it.

Click your avatar in the top right, then click the first card in the menu — the one with your display name and account on it. That's this page. Hover that card and the account switcher opens to the left: your personal account, every team you're in, and Create team at the bottom. Click a row to switch (switching scopes asks for confirmation, because projects and canvases change wholesale).

Three more cards in the same stack land on this screen:

  • Membership — lands on the membership page, where the tier, the renewal date and the orders live (see 14.4). The card is only there while you have no plan or it has expired; its heading is the tier you're on (Free, say) and the Subscribe button on it opens the pricing dialog directly. Once you're on a plan the card goes away and the tier becomes a badge after your name — clicking the badge gets you to the same page.
  • Credits — lands you straight on the credits page. Two small actions sit on the right: Top up opens the credit store, and Spend order opens the window that decides which bucket is used first. Once you've seen a number, the next thing you want to know is where it went.
  • Storage — lands on the storage page. The tag next to its heading on the card says which space this usage belongs to: personal account or a team name — storage is divided by space, so the number needs a subject.

The numbers on these three cards follow the space you're in right now (in a team space you'll see that team's tier, balance and usage), and so does the page you land on: from your personal space these three pages in Account, from a team space the matching three in team management (see 14.6). The number on the card is the number you land on.

They all open in a new tab: the canvas you were editing stays on the page you were on, and doesn't get dragged along.

On the header of pages like the home page and the project list, a Download app button sits to the left of your avatar. It opens one entry per system and architecture — macOS (Apple silicon), macOS (Intel) and Windows are each their own package — with the version and the file size on each entry's second line, and the system you're on sorted to the top. Click an entry and the download starts.

There are three cases where the button isn't drawn at all: inside the desktop app (nothing left to download), on a phone (what comes down won't install), and while this site has no build out yet.

The Account page

Five pages on the leftFive pages: Account, Published by me, Membership, Credits, Storage. The last three show only your own subscription, ledger and files — the team's live in team management.
1 / 2
The pages in the left column, and the two things on that card you can change.

Only two things can be changed:

  • Avatar — hit Upload avatar and pick an image, or Clear to go back to the default.
  • Display name — 30 characters at most.

Hit Save in the bottom right when you're done. It's grayed out while nothing has changed, which is to say changes are submitted together — pick an avatar and you can still change your mind.

The rows below are read-only:

Row What it is
Account The identifier you sign in with (phone numbers are masked as 185****7047)
Sign-in methods How you can sign in right now — phone, email, WeChat; there may be several (WeChat QR sign-in is offline for now, see 14.1)
User ID An id, with a button beside it that copies it. Paste it to us when you report a problem — it makes tracking things down much faster

Why phone and email can't be changed

They're what identifies you: the phone number is the sign-in credential itself, and each email is unique. Changing them on this page would mean changing who the account is, and one typo locks you out. So there's no edit button here — changing either goes through its own verification code flow.

How personal and team accounts split

This screen only ever shows your personal account. Membership, credits and storage are divided by space (one personal, one per team), and this screen always shows your personal version — even if you're currently switched into a team space.

Team versions of those three sit in team management, each on its own page: team membership, team credits, team storage. Which team you're looking at is decided by the URL, not by the space you're currently in (see 14.6).

Before, these three pages would switch when you switched spaces, so each had a tag next to its heading saying whose account the numbers belonged to, and the Account table had a "Current space" row. Neither is needed now: the subject on this screen is always you.

To switch spaces, hover the identity card at the top of the avatar menu; the account switcher that opens lists your personal account and every team you're in, with Create team at the bottom. Click a row to switch. Switching takes you back to the home page to reload — the projects and canvases from the previous space simply don't exist in the new one. But this screen doesn't change: these five pages are always your personal account.

Theme, notifications and signing out

The entries under the stack of cards have nothing to do with who you are:

  • Appearance — the first entry under the stack of cards, with three tiles on its right: Light, Dark, System. Click a tile to switch to it; System follows this machine's own setting.
  • Notifications — under Appearance, with a badge on the right showing how many unread notifications you have. Click it to open the notification center.
  • Send feedback — the entry under Notifications; click it to open the feedback dialog.
  • My teams — only appears while you're inside a team space, and expands to that team's pages (Team / Members / Membership / Credits / Storage). It isn't shown from your personal space.
  • Admin — only appears for admins.
  • Language — a submenu with five: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese and Hindi, with a check on the one you're on. Changing it changes the whole site, these docs included.
  • Sign out — the last entry in the menu, and it takes you back to the home page. The home page makes sense signed out too: the project list is empty and there's a Sign in button in the top right.

You can switch light and dark signed out too: there's a toggle button sitting in the top right on its own.
