Your settings
Settings holds your own preferences and your team's set-up. To reach it, open the menu at the right of the header and select Settings.
The page has tabs along the top. Preferences is yours alone, and applies wherever you sign in; this page is a reference to what it holds. Team covers the teams you belong to and the people in them — see Manage your team. Tiro staff see further tabs that are not part of the product.
Your preferences follow your account, not the team you are working in. Changing one takes effect straight away, across the app.
Help
Help text appears in place throughout the app, and each piece can be dismissed once you no longer need it.
Reset all brings all of it back. The button becomes available once you have dismissed at least one piece of help. Select it and every dismissed tip shows again. See Around the app.

| Enter sends the message | In a discussion, makes Enter send and Shift+Enter start a new line. On to begin with. When off, Enter starts a new line and Cmd + Enter (Ctrl + Enter on Windows and Linux) sends. See Send a message. |
Advanced mode
Advanced mode reveals the app's advanced sections. It is off to begin with, and it unlocks the two groups listed beneath it, Features and Action bar. While it is off both groups are hidden; turn it on and they appear, with the choices you last made.
Features
Parts of the app you turn on for yourself. They stay off for everyone else on your team.
| Toggle | What it does |
|---|---|
| Events feed | Shows the Events control in the header. |
| Transfer documents | Shows Transfer among the actions on the documents table's floating bar, alongside the other actions that apply to a whole selection. |
| Tags | Turns on tags: the Tags control on the Documents page, Tags columns and tag filters in tables, and a Tags box when you add documents. Off to begin with. Turning it off hides tags without removing any, and turning it back on brings them back as you left them. See Manage tags. |
| Document navigator | Shows the Document navigator control on the Documents page and among the actions on the documents table's floating bar. Off to begin with. See Explore documents with the navigator. |
Action bar
The action bar sits beneath the header on every page but this one, and this group lists each control on it — New document, Collections, and Activity — with a toggle. Turn one off and that control stops taking up room; turn it back on and it returns to its place. A choice you have made stays in force even after advanced mode is turned off again. For what each control opens, see Around the app.
Where advanced mode shows up
Advanced mode does not add a section of its own. It unlocks the more technical parts of pages you already use, each of which then decides for itself what to show:
- the upload window offers a Show advanced tick box — see Upload documents;
- a document's details panel offers a Show advanced toggle — see View a document's details;
- the Features and Action bar groups above become available here in Preferences.
