  3. Click Save Changes

If you leave the display name empty, your username displays instead.

Username

Your username creates your unique profile URL (e.g., cadit.app/user/yourname) and is how other users can find you.

Username requirements:

  • 3-20 characters
  • Letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores only
  • Case-insensitive (YourName and yourname are treated as the same)

To change your username:

  1. In Profile Settings, locate the Username section
  2. Enter your new username
  3. Click Update

Change limitations:

  • If you have never changed your username, you can set it immediately
  • After that, you can change your username once every 30 days
  • The settings page shows how many days remain before you can change again

Previous usernames

When you change your username, CADit reserves your old username for a period. During this time:

  • Links to your old username redirect to your current profile
  • You can reclaim any of your previous usernames
  • Others cannot register usernames you previously used

Your previous usernames appear in the Profile Settings page under the username field.

Account email

Your account email is managed through your authentication provider and cannot be changed directly in CADit. The email field in Profile Settings is read-only and shows which email your account is linked to.

Tips

  • Choose a username you can keep long-term, as changes are limited
  • A profile picture and bio help other users recognize and learn about you
  • If you share designs publicly, a complete profile builds credibility with your audience
