Personal settings and Workspace settings

Settings separates your personal Preferences from Workspace settings because they have different owners and effects. Open it from the account menu in the lower-left corner.

Settings

Preferences contains personal application and profile preferences. Your display name and avatar follow you across every workspace where you are a member. Changing them does not change the shared company configuration.

Language and locale

Open Settings -> Preferences to use CORA in English, Finnish, or Swedish. The core navigation and settings change immediately; your documents and other authored content stay in their original language. The selection is your personal locale and follows you across workspaces.

You can also ask CORA directly, for example: "Make my app Finnish." CORA proposes Finnish (fi) as the exact new interface language and waits for your approval.

Appearance

Open Settings -> Preferences and choose Light, Dark, or System under Display. Light and Dark override the device theme. System follows each device automatically. The preference belongs to your user account rather than a workspace.

You can ask CORA to change the appearance from chat too. As with other conversational settings writes, CORA shows the current and proposed theme before anything changes.

Advanced information

Show advanced information is a personal power-user preference and is off by default. When enabled, the chat intelligence menu gains an Advanced section for choosing an exact approved model and, where supported, its reasoning effort. Completed chat responses also show exact input, output, and total token counts when that information is available. Agent-run pages show run totals and recorded per-step counts.

Turning the setting off hides the exact-model controls and returns chat to the selected recommended intelligence tier. Deliberately choosing an exact model can change which approved model CORA uses, but it does not change the capacity or billing rules. Token counts remain diagnostics only. The chat metadata never includes provider prices, internal cost units, model-routing details, raw provider metadata, prompts, tool payloads, or credentials.

Workspace settings

Workspace settings contains shared administration: company identity, members, knowledge sources, company instructions, agent trust, integrations, MCP access, capacity, data residency, and other workspace-wide controls.

Owners and administrators can change ordinary workspace identity fields. Some contractual or security-sensitive controls are owner-only or require a dedicated flow.

Ask CORA to change a setting

CORA can propose a narrow set of common changes directly from chat:

• Personal display name or avatar URL.
• Personal interface language/locale (English, Finnish, or Swedish).
• Personal appearance (Light, Dark, or System).
• Workspace name, description, website URL, brand voice, or timezone.

She shows the exact current and proposed value before anything is written. The change becomes a proposed task and waits for approval. At execution, CORA checks permissions again and refuses to apply the change if the old value no longer matches the approved preview.

Generic conversational settings cannot change members, permissions, billing, capacity, data residency, agent trust ceilings, integration credentials, MCP tokens, or delete data. Those controls remain in their purpose-built Workspace settings pages until a dedicated audited action exists.
