# Edit your profile and control what is public

> Update your professional details and choose which optional information appears publicly.

Edit professional details from your profile, then use Settings to choose which optional information appears publicly. Account details and editing controls stay private.

## Edit your profile

1. Open **My Profile**.
2. Select the edit action for your profile or the relevant section.
3. Update your name, headline, About text, location, intentions, ecosystems, skills, experience, or project context.
4. Review the preview and save.

## Choose what appears publicly

Open **Settings → Privacy & Visibility**. You can control the visibility of your location, company and position, primary wallet, social accounts, work and networking status, and NFT collection.

## Changes that need extra care

* A new public handle must still satisfy the shared person-and-company handle rules.
* Changing a verified experience title, company, dates, or current-role status can reset verification.
* Changing an NFT-backed profile image may require ownership to be checked again.

If a save fails, keep the page open and check the message beside the field. Try once more after refreshing. If it still fails, report the page URL and include a screenshot with private details removed.

Review these details after a role change, project launch, grant milestone, hackathon, or availability change. Recruiters and collaborators make better decisions when your public intent and most recent proof agree. Leave sensitive client details, private contact information, and unreleased work out of public fields.
