When you first register or log into a new Crowdicity community you will be taken through a 'Profile wizard', a pop-up box that asks you for personal information such as your name and location. Crowdicity community owners can add questions to this profile pop-up box, so you may also be asked questions relevant to your community, for example, your age or the kind of work that you do.

The information that you enter when you register in a community makes up your profile, you can view and change your profile at any time.

4. To save any changes that you make, use Next to go through all profile pages, then click Save.

3. A window will open that allows you to choose or upload a file for your profile picture. You can select an image that you have already uploaded, or you can upload a new image.

4. If you want to upload a new image, click ' Choose File', browse your computer for the image you'd like to use, select it and then click 'Upload file'.
