# Settings & Preferences

> Customize your experience — appearance, profile, data backup, security, sessions, and billing.

Access all settings from the **Settings** icon in the left-hand menu. Settings are organized into tabs across the top of the page.

***

## Appearance

### Theme

Switch between **Light** and **Dark** mode. Your preference is saved to your profile and applies across all devices.

### Timezone

Select your timezone from 50+ options covering major regions (Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific). Your timezone is auto-detected on first login but can be changed at any time.

<Tip>
  Set your timezone to match your trading session hours. This ensures your trade timestamps, calendar view, and daily P\&L calculations align with your actual trading day.
</Tip>

***

## Profile

* **Display Name** — edit the name that appears on your P\&L cards and across the app
* **Profile Picture** — upload a new image or remove the existing one

Click **Edit Profile** to make changes.

## Data Backup & Restore

### Exporting your data

Download a complete backup of everything in your TradeAlign account:

* Trading accounts
* All trades
* Playbooks
* Notebooks
* Settings

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Export All Data">
    In the Preferences tab, find the Data Backup & Restore section and click **Export All Data**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your email">
    Enter your account email to confirm the export. This must match the email you signed up with.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download">
    A JSON file downloads automatically, named `tradealign_backup_YYYY-MM-DD.json`.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Restoring from a backup

<Warning>
  Importing a backup **permanently overwrites** all existing data in your account — trades, accounts, playbooks, and notebooks. This cannot be undone.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Select Backup File">
    Choose a previously exported `.json` file (max 50MB).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your email">
    Enter your account email to confirm. Only backups from your email address can be restored.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the import">
    Read the warning carefully, then click **I Understand, Import Data** to proceed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Security

### Change Password

Update your password by entering your current password and choosing a new one.

<Info>
  Password changes only apply to accounts created with **email and password**. If you signed up using **Google** or another SSO provider, your password is managed through that provider's settings.
</Info>

### Delete Account

Permanently delete your TradeAlign account and all associated data.

* This removes **everything**: trades, accounts, playbooks, notebooks, and settings
* This action **cannot be undone**
* You must type the exact phrase **"DELETE THIS ACCOUNT"** to confirm

<Warning>
  Before deleting your account, consider [exporting your data](#exporting-your-data) as a backup. Once deleted, your data cannot be recovered.
</Warning>

## Sessions

### Logout

Log out of your current device. You'll be redirected to the home page.

### Logout All Devices

Immediately end all active sessions across every device — including the one you're currently using. You'll need to log in again on each device.

<Tip>
  Use **Logout All Devices** if you suspect someone has unauthorized access to your account, or if you've logged in on a shared or public computer.
