Settings & Workspaces
Overview
Settings cover everything personal and workspace-wide that lives outside individual projects — your profile, timezone, notification preferences, the workspaces you belong to, who else is in those workspaces, and the workspace-level controls owners use to set up Kenny and shape how the workspace behaves.
Use it for: editing your profile, switching between workspaces, inviting teammates, creating teams, changing Kenny’s avatar, picking an AI provider for Kenny, and removing things you no longer need.
How it works
- Open Settings from your avatar menu in the top right. The settings page is split into sections in a left sidebar.
- Personal sections — Profile, Notifications, Memory — change things only you see.
- Workspace sections — Workspace info, Members, Teams, Kenny, Getting started, Danger zone — change things everyone in the workspace sees, and most are restricted to workspace owners.
- The Workspaces section lets you create new workspaces, switch between the ones you belong to, and leave any you no longer need.
Usage
Edit your profile. Open Settings → Profile. Update your name, avatar, timezone, and personal meeting room link (read-only — see Personal Meeting Room).
Change your timezone. The timezone picker is on the profile page. Kanvas AI uses it to format times and dates in your view; other members continue to see times in their own timezone.
Tune notifications. Open Settings → Notifications to choose which events generate in-app notifications and which also send email. See Notifications.
Write personal memory. Open Settings → Memory to give Kenny standing guidance about how to talk to you — tone, formatting, defaults. See Memory.
Switch workspaces. Use the workspace switcher in the left sidebar to jump between workspaces. The switcher shows every workspace you belong to. Owners also see About workspace — a shortcut to the workspace memory editor — and Workspace settings in the same menu.
Jump to your personal context. Your avatar menu includes About you, a shortcut to your profile settings where your personal memory lives. Log out sits at the bottom of the same menu, shown in red.
Create a new workspace. Open Settings → Workspaces and click Create workspace. Give it a name and an icon. The new workspace opens empty, ready for you to invite members and create a first project.
Leave a workspace. Open Settings → Workspaces and click Leave on the workspace you want out of. If you were the only owner, transfer ownership first.
Invite teammates. Open Workspace settings → Members. Send invitations by email; invited people receive a link and join after signing up or signing in.
Create teams. Open Workspace settings → Teams. Teams group members so you can @mention a team in tasks and chat and notify everyone at once.
Pick the AI model for Kenny. Open Workspace settings → AI Model. Owners choose which AI provider Kenny uses across the workspace. Until a provider is selected, Kenny surfaces appear in a disabled state.
Customise Kenny’s avatar. Open Workspace settings → Kenny. Pick a preset image or upload your own — the choice applies wherever Kenny appears.
See workspace getting-started progress. Open Workspace settings → Getting started to track which onboarding steps the workspace has completed.
Delete a workspace. Open Workspace settings → Danger zone. Deletion is permanent and removes every project, task, document, channel, and CRM record in the workspace. Only the workspace owner can do this.
Edge cases & limits
- Owner vs. member. Owners see and can change every workspace setting. Members see profile and personal settings but not workspace-wide controls.
- One Kenny per workspace. Avatar, AI model, and Kenny memory are workspace-wide — every member sees the same Kenny.
- Leaving a workspace. If you leave and are re-invited later, your role and project memberships start fresh.
- Personal meeting room follows you. Your personal meeting room URL stays the same across workspaces. Leaving every workspace pauses it; rejoining any reactivates it. See Personal Meeting Room.
- Deletion is permanent. Workspace deletion is not reversible — export anything you need first.
