Profile Settings

The Profile tab holds the simplest thing in Settings, your workspace name, and one card underneath it: Workspace edition, which says what kind of business this is and what language TribeNest writes things in.

Your name is the artist or brand name that appears throughout your dashboard, on receipts, in emails to fans, and anywhere else TribeNest needs to refer to you. It's worth getting right, and it's easy to change if you rebrand later.

How to update your name

1. Open Settings from the sidebar.
2. Stay on the Profile tab. It's selected by default.
3. Type the new name into the Profile Name field.
4. Click Save Profile Name.

A short confirmation appears when the change goes through. If you click save without changing anything, TribeNest tells you there's nothing to save. No harm done.

What counts as a valid name

Two simple rules:

• At least 4 characters. Short codes and two-letter words don't pass.
• At most 50 characters. Long enough for almost any band name, label or stage alias.

Go outside that range and you'll see the error under the field. Fix it and try again.

Where your name shows up

Once you save, the new name flows into:

• The header of your TribeNest dashboard
• Receipts and order confirmations sent to fans
• Outgoing emails from your account
• The default display name across your storefront and any new content you create

Fans who already received an email or receipt with the old name won't see those change. Only what goes out from now on uses the new name.

The Workspace edition card

Under the name field sits Workspace edition, with two dropdowns:

• Edition, which tells TribeNest what kind of business you run and offers a matching starter pack.
• Workspace language, which decides the language TribeNest writes things in when it creates them for you.

Both are covered in full on workspace type and language. You need settings access to use them, so if the dropdowns are greyed out for you, ask an owner or admin. See team.

What is not on this tab

A few things you might expect to find here live elsewhere:

• Your handle, bio, avatar and social links. These are part of your public-facing site and live under my website.
• The currency you charge in. That's on the payment setup tab, saved together with the card processor you use.
• Your sign-in email and password. Those are managed from your account menu, not from Settings.
• The "from" address fans see on emails. That's under emails, where you also pick the sender name on each campaign.
• Your dashboard theme. That's a personal preference, on the Account settings page rather than here, because it follows you across every workspace you belong to.

When to update your name

Most people set this once during onboarding and never come back. The times you'll want to revisit it:

• You're rebranding. A new stage name, a dropped label suffix, two projects merging.
• You misspelled it during signup. It happens. Fix it here, then double-check your sender name under emails too.
• You're going from solo to band. Switching from "Jane Doe" to "Jane Doe Band" usually means updating this name and your address type on the business address tab.

There's no limit on how often you can change it, but renaming constantly will confuse fans across receipts and emails. Pick a name and let it stick for a season.

If you have a team

Every team member sees the Profile tab, and the name is the whole workspace's, not a personal one. If you change "JUNO" to "JUNO Music", everyone on the team sees the new name the next time their dashboard loads.
