The three scopes
Workspace. Billing, members, teams, the model mode. Changing one affects everyone in the workspace.
Project. Approval gates, connectors, conversation sync, the repository binding. Per board.
User or machine. Appearance, zoom, shortcuts, layout. Yours alone.
Most "where is that setting" confusion is a scope mismatch: conversation sync feels like a personal preference but is per project, because it governs what teammates can see.
Appearance
Five choices under Settings → Preferences → Appearance:
| Theme | What it is |
|---|---|
| Light | The light palette. |
| Dark | Pastel steel blue-grey. The default. |
| Metal | Cool brushed gunmetal. |
| Beige | Warm paper, desaturated taupe accent. |
| System | Follows your OS between Light and Dark. |
Your theme is stored on your user, not your machine, so it follows you to any computer you sign in on.
Zoom
⌘+, ⌘- and ⌘0 zoom the app. Useful on a large display where the default is smaller than you want, and on a laptop where it is not.
Deep links
Most places in the app that mention a setting link straight to it. If a banner tells you something is misconfigured, the fix is usually one click from the banner rather than a hunt through a settings tree.
Next steps
- Keyboard shortcuts - including how to rebind.
- Workspaces, members and roles - the workspace-scoped half.
- Privacy - the project-scoped setting that matters most.
