Appearance, language, and formats

Outcome

You open Appearance and language, region, and formats from Settings, change theme, layout, and region/formats with confidence, and know these continue what Quick Setup or personal setup already offered.

Who it's for

Any signed-in user with Appearance and language, region, and formats permissions

Prerequisites

• Access to Appearance and to language, region, and formats (in the app: Localization)

Steps

1. From the Settings hub under Personalization & Interface, open Appearance. These choices are personal to you: not company branding. See: the same kind of theme preference appears in Quick Setup (language, region, and formats) and personal setup preferences.
2. On Appearance: set Color Theme / palette, Dark Mode (Light, Dark, or System: System follows your OS), Compact Mode, animations, font size, border radius, and keyboard shortcuts as the product shows. Team Members may also see Simple mode here (personal); simple mode for the staff or client portal is controlled per tenant elsewhere. Changes apply immediately. Use Reset to Defaults if you want the stock look back.
3. Return to Settings, then open language, region, and formats (page title in the app: Localization Settings). You already set language, region, timezone, formats, and currency during Quick Setup; come here anytime to refine them.
4. Start with Language & Region (region applies sensible defaults for timezone, date/time, numbers, currency, first day of week). Then fine-tune Date & Time (including 12h/24h), Numbers & Currency, and related format preferences. Watch the live preview samples. Changes typically auto-save (status Saving / Saved): you do not need a separate Save on every field. Changing region can overwrite related fields; customize after if needed.
5. Working pattern: Appearance for look-and-feel; language, region, and formats for how every date, time, number, and money amount reads. Next in this cluster: security, sessions, and notifications.
