Changing the name
- Open the side menu and go to Settings.
- Tap Change Username to expand the section.
- Type the new name in the Username field.
- Tap Update Username. You will see "Username updated" when it has saved.
This needs a connection: without one you will see "Unable to reach the server. Please check your connection and try again." Any other failure says "Unable to update username. Please try again."
Where the name is used
- The side menu header shows your username above your email address.
- Report PDFs carry a "Report sent by: your name" line on the cover page. This is stamped at generation time, so PDFs generated after the change use the new name; reports you generated before keep the name they were created with. If the sender name on an existing report matters (for example, an assessor queried it), open the plot and send the report again — it regenerates from current data, including your new name.
Your username is a display name only. It is not your login — you always sign in with your email address — and changing it has no effect on your projects, photos or subscription.
If the menu still shows the old name
The side menu shows the new name as soon as it saves. If it ever does not, close and reopen the app. Signing out is safe too: it never touches your photos.
