# Your settings

> Personal preferences that apply only to you, not to your whole company

**Your settings** holds preferences that are personal to you. Changes here do not affect anyone else in your company.

To open it, click your name in the top navigation bar to open the user menu, then choose **Your settings**.

## Default office

Your default office is the office new projects you create start from. Every person picks their own — there is no company-wide default that applies to everyone.

### How the default is determined

Your default office can come from one of three sources:

| Source | What it means |
| - | - |
| Chosen | You have picked a specific office. New projects you create start from that office. |
| Automatic | No choice has been saved. New projects start from your company's first-created active office. |
| None | Your company has no active offices yet. The first one added will be used automatically. |

The **Current** badge marks your saved choice, including the automatic option.

If the office you chose has since been retired, the panel shows an **Unavailable office** card marked **Current**. You can't pick it again. Choose another office and save to change your default.

### Changing your default office

1. Open **Your settings** from the user menu.
2. Under **Default office**, select an office from the list, or choose **Use the first office (automatic)** to clear any specific choice.
3. Click **Save**.

A confirmation appears when the save succeeds — for example, **Saved. Auckland is now your default office.**

Each option shows the office name and, where available, its location — for example, **Christchurch, Canterbury**.

### If your offices cannot be loaded

If the panel cannot reach the settings API, it shows a notice and a **Try again** button. Nothing has changed. Dismiss the sheet and reopen it, or wait a moment and try again.

If the **Default office** setting is not yet available, the panel says so. New projects continue to use your company's first office until the setting rolls out.

### Unsaved changes

If you select a different office and try to close the sheet without saving, Stralos asks you to confirm before discarding the change. Choose **Keep editing** to return and save, or **Discard changes** to close without saving.
