# Themes & preferences

Make Opser comfortable to use, from the color palette to the page you open first.

Source: https://docs.opser.com/workspace/preferences/

## Personal settings
Open **Settings**. The Personal section lists **General**, **Appearance**, **Notifications**, and **Profile**. **General** is a short list in groups. **Basics** has your language and where Opser opens. **Your agent** has how it opens pages, whether the chat shows its steps, and your dictation words. **Phone** lists your connected phones, which you can sign out, and **Connect a phone** shows a single-use QR code that connects the Opser mobile app to your account. For people who manage apps, **Workspace** has whether apps update automatically for everyone. An agent’s voice is configured with that agent, in its **General** settings.

The docs site has its own theme control in the header. Changing the docs theme does not change your Opser account preferences.

## Customize the appearance
Open **Settings → Appearance**. **Look** has your color mode, palette, shape, font, and icon weight. **Layout**, on a computer or iPad, has density, the sidebar text and icon sizes, and **Collapse the sidebar in apps**, which gives an app more room when you open it; you can expand the sidebar again any time. Every change applies right away, so check both dense app views and conversation screens. **Reset** returns to the defaults.

These choices affect your personal experience. They do not change another teammate’s preferred theme.

## Set your language
Open **Settings → General** and choose **Language** under **Basics**: English, Italian, Spanish, German, or French. The language selection applies immediately in the supported platform interface. Separately provided apps may have different translation coverage.

These docs are available in the same five languages. Use the language menu in the docs header to switch languages while staying on the same guide. The docs language is separate from your Opser account preference.

## Choose your home page
Open **Settings → General** and use **Open Opser on** under **Basics** to pick from the destinations available to your account. This controls where you land when opening Opser. A destination must be available to you; changing the home page does not grant access to an app.

## Show the agent's steps
Open **Settings → General** and find **Show its steps** under **Your agent**. It is off by default, so an agent's chat shows what the agent writes, as chat bubbles, with a short line saying what it is doing while it works. Turn it on to also see the tools, reasoning, plan, and sub-agents behind each reply, for checking how the agent works. The choice is yours alone and applies to the chat page, the side chat, and the mobile app. You can also ask an agent to switch it for you. See [what you see while the agent works](https://docs.opser.com/agents/conversations/#what-you-see-while-the-agent-works).

## Teach dictation your words
Dictation already listens for your teammates' names, your agents, your apps, and your company's name. Open **Settings → General**, find **Dictation words** under **Your agent**, and choose **Edit** to add anything else it should spell right. Under **Words**, add names and terms you say, such as a customer or product, exactly as they should be written. Under **Fixes**, add a word dictation keeps getting wrong and what to write instead, for example **opzer** → **Opser**: every transcript is corrected, whole words only, in any capitalization. You can keep up to 100 words and 100 fixes, and remove any with its **X**. A fix changes that word everywhere you dictate, so avoid one for an ordinary word you also use.

Your dictionary is yours alone. You can also tell your agent, for example "dictation keeps writing opzer, it's Opser", and it saves the fix for you. Meetings uses the same words and fixes for your own microphone; recordings that tell voices apart get your fixes. See [voice conversations](https://docs.opser.com/agents/voice/).

## If a preference does not stick
Wait for the save to finish and check for an error message. Refresh the page once. For an unavailable home destination, ask an administrator to inspect your permissions or whether the app is still installed.
