After signing in for the first time, take a few minutes to configure your account. This page covers everything from profile settings to security controls.

​
Sign in with Google (SSO)

Google Product uses your existing Google Account for sign-in. You never create a separate password — your Google credentials are all you need. To sign in:
  1. Go to the Google Product homepage and click Sign in with Google.
  2. Select your Google Account or enter your email address.
  3. Complete any verification steps Google prompts (such as 2-Step Verification).
If your organization manages Google Workspace, your IT administrator may have enforced single sign-on (SSO). In that case, you must sign in using your organization’s Google Workspace account. Personal Google Accounts may be blocked by your organization’s policy.
To sign out, click your avatar in the top-right corner and select Sign out. On shared devices, always sign out after your session.

​
Profile settings

Your profile is visible to collaborators across all shared projects and documents. To open your profile settings, click your avatar in the top-right corner and select Profile & settings, then navigate to the Profile tab.

​
Display name

Your display name defaults to the name on your Google Account. To change it within Google Product:
  1. Click the Display name field.
  2. Enter the name you want collaborators to see.
  3. Click Save.
Changing your display name in Google Product does not affect your Google Account name. Changes apply only within Google Product.

​
Profile photo

Your photo is pulled from your Google Account by default. To use a different photo:
  1. Click your current photo in the Profile tab.
  2. Select Upload photo and choose an image file (JPG, PNG, or GIF, up to 5 MB).
  3. Crop the image using the editor, then click Apply.
To revert to your Google Account photo, click Use Google Account photo.

​
Language and locale

To change your language and regional preferences:
  1. Go to Profile & settings > Preferences.
  2. Under Language, select your preferred display language from the dropdown.
  3. Under Date and time, choose your time zone and preferred date format (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY).
  4. Click Save preferences.
If you collaborate with teammates in different time zones, Google Product automatically converts timestamps to each person’s local time zone when it’s set correctly.

​
Notification preferences

Google Product sends notifications for comments, mentions, task assignments, and project activity. You can control the frequency and delivery method for each type. Go to Profile & settings > Notifications.

​
In-app notifications

In-app notifications appear in the bell icon in the top navigation bar. Use the In-app column to toggle each notification type on or off.

​
Email notifications

Email notifications are sent to the address associated with your Google Account.

To change email frequency:
  1. In the Email column, click the dropdown next to a notification type.
  2. Select Immediate, Daily digest, Weekly digest, or Off.

​
Do Not Disturb

To pause all notifications temporarily:
  1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner.
  2. Select Pause notifications.
  3. Choose a duration: 1 hour, Until tomorrow, or Custom.
Pausing notifications does not affect administrative or security alerts. Those are always delivered immediately.

​
Linked apps and connected accounts

You can connect third-party apps and additional Google services to Google Product to sync data and automate workflows. Go to Profile & settings > Connected apps.

​
Connecting Google services

Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts are available to connect directly. To connect an app:
  1. Find the app in the Available connections list.
  2. Click Connect.
  3. Review the requested permissions in the Google authorization dialog.
  4. Click Allow.
Once connected, the integration becomes active immediately. For example, connecting Google Drive lets you attach Drive files to any project without leaving Google Product.

​
Managing connected apps

To view or revoke a connection:
  1. Go to Profile & settings > Connected apps.
  2. Find the app under Active connections.
  3. Click Manage to view the permissions granted, or Disconnect to remove access.
Disconnecting an app removes Google Product’s access to that service. It does not delete any data that was previously synced or attached.

​
Account security

​
2-Step Verification

Google Product authentication is handled by your Google Account. To add or manage 2-Step Verification:
  1. Go to myaccount.google.com/security.
  2. Under How you sign in to Google, click 2-Step Verification.
  3. Follow the prompts to set up your preferred second factor (authenticator app, SMS, hardware security key, etc.).
Using a hardware security key (such as a Titan Security Key) or a TOTP authenticator app provides stronger protection than SMS-based verification.
Once 2-Step Verification is enabled on your Google Account, it applies automatically every time you sign in to Google Product.

​
Reviewing account activity

To review recent sign-in activity and active sessions for your Google Account:
  1. Go to myaccount.google.com/device-activity.
  2. Review the list of devices and locations where your account is signed in.
  3. Click Don’t recognize a device? to secure your account if you see unfamiliar activity.
If you see sign-in activity you don’t recognize, change your Google Account password immediately and review your connected apps for any unauthorized access.

​
Revoking access

If you need to remove Google Product’s access to your Google Account entirely:
  1. Go to myaccount.google.com/permissions.
  2. Find Google Product in the list.
  3. Click Remove Access.
This signs you out of all active sessions and prevents future sign-ins until you re-authorize.
