Your Vault is essentially your account. This section contains your preferences and settings.
Open your Vault Sidebar.
Click your profile picture in the bottom-left corner.
Open the Anytype menu on your top app bar (macOS, Windows, Linux).
Navigate to Settings.
Select the option Vault.
Here you can add your name, bio, and profile picture. When you are in a space, your profile is also treated as an Object as a Space Member.
Set color mode: Choose between light, dark, or auto color modes.
Notification sound: Choose "Off" or one of several tones.
Channels hub density: Compact (Stripe view) or with Messages Previews
Always show tab bar: Choose whether you want the tab bar to always be visible
Automatically show and hide sidebar: With this option disabled, the sidebar will not automatically appear when you hover over the left side of the screen.
Open objects in fullscreen: You can decide whether you want all objects to be opened in fullscreen by default or in a modal window
Object link style: Choose the default style for the /link command: card or text.

Click to edit title in Grid view: Choose whether clicking a title in Grid view enters edit mode or opens the Object directly.
Send messages in Chats and comments in Discussions with Enter or Cmd+Enter.
Spellcheck Languages: You can enable automatic spellcheck from 40+ languages, or disable the spellcheck.
Interface Language: You can choose amongst the community-translated versions to localize your interface.
Date & Time formats: Choose the date and time formats used across your Vault.
Use relative dates: You can decide whether you want relative dates like today / tomorrow to be used, or whether you want all dates to show the exact date.
Week starts on : You can now choose whether your week starts on Sunday or Monday. Head to your updated settings to make the switch in the date-picker.
If you want more privacy, like when sharing a computer, you can set up a PIN code. This will lock the app and keep your Key safe. You'll just need to enter the PIN each time your Anytype session ends (after 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 1 hour) or when you need to access your Key.
We do not store this data, so we cannot help recover your Vault if it is lost. Record your PIN code alongside your Key.
You can access your Key or scan the QR code to connect your mobile device. For more details, please check Key.
Vault Deletion: Also, if you would like to delete your vault, you can do it in this section. Learn more here: Data Erasure & Recovery
Local Files: You can choose to offload files stored in Anytype to our Anytype Network.
Offline Access: You can choose a storage threshold (Off, 20MB, 100MB, 250MB, 1GB, or Unlimited) to control how much data is auto-synced for offline use.
Data Location: You can also decide where your data is stored (desktop only).
Here you can find a list of all your Channels, access roles, and network statuses. The three-dot menu also contains the "Invite Link," QR Code, and "Delete Channel" options.
Here you can find and manage all previously published Objects.
Here you can find, manage, and create API keys.
