Profile

Update your profile

Sign in and open Profile. The account and profile view is available to every role; activity, badges, and peer-discovery controls appear only when the account participates in the relevant experience.

• Overview: edit your profile details and photo.
• Settings: Privacy Controls, language, and appearance, plus an Evolver Participation card on Executive and Client Admin accounts.
• Assessments: your onboarding assessment and, when your organization has turned on monthly surveys, your Pulse and Check-in surveys.
• My Archetype: your archetype and, once you reach Level 5, the option to change it.
• Badges: your learning totals and badges, shown to Evolvers only.
• At the top of Profile, quick actions open Settings, Privacy, your assessment status, the documentation, Training Videos, and Guided Walkthrough.

1. Select Edit on the Overview tab.
2. Change the supported fields, then select Save Changes.
3. Stay on the page long enough to confirm that the saved values are read back before moving on.

Profile details

Edit the fields that help teammates understand your context: Full Name, Preferred Name, Job Title, Department, Location, LinkedIn, and About. Email is displayed as read-only account identity and is not edited in this form.

• Use a name your teammates will recognise and keep optional details current.
• LinkedIn must be a full LinkedIn URL; a partial or different URL is rejected before saving.
• About is a short profile description; clear it when you no longer want it shown.
• Org Unit, Role, and Sub-role appear as read-only fields for Evolvers. They come from your assessment, not from this form.
• Return to Profile → Privacy Controls when you want to change visibility.

Profile photo

Use the photo button beside your avatar to upload a PNG, JPEG, or WEBP image under 2 MB. A successful upload updates the profile immediately; Remove clears the current photo.

• If the file type or size is rejected, choose a supported image under the limit and try again.
• If the upload or removal fails, the page keeps the previous photo and shows an error so you can retry.

Save and check visibility

After a successful profile save, Stride reads the account projection back from the server and closes the edit form. A profile is visible to peers inside your organization only where the product and your Privacy Controls allow; it is not a public internet profile.

• If Save Changes does not complete, keep the form open and retry instead of assuming the values were stored.
• A Manager sees active direct reports in manager surfaces, not every profile or contribution; each surface keeps its own visibility and identity rules.

Your archetype

The onboarding assessment gives you a named archetype, one of The Trailblazer, The Guide, The Connector, The Explorer, The Champion, or The Innovator, along with a behavioral category of Self-Directed, Skill Builder, Untapped Potential, or Supported Starter. Find it any time in the My Archetype tab on your Profile.

• Your assessment sets your archetype first. Your archetype and category personalize your dashboard, your challenges, and how BYTE speaks to you.
• Changing your archetype is a refinement, not a reset. Your assessment answers and your progress are kept.
• Changing it unlocks at Level 5. Until then the My Archetype tab shows how much XP you still need, and if your organization has turned gamification off, no level is required.
• After you change your archetype, you can change it again only after 7 days.
• Share copies or sends a short message with your archetype name and a link to a public page that describes that archetype.

1. Open Profile and choose the My Archetype tab.
2. Go to Change your archetype and choose the archetype you want. The current one is marked Current.
3. Read the confirmation, then choose Yes, change, or choose Cancel to keep your current archetype.

Start, resume, or replay Guided Walkthrough

Open the Guided Walkthrough tile in your Profile quick actions. If you have an unfinished guide, the tile says Resume Walkthrough and continues from your saved place for the current role view. After completing a guide, choose Guided Walkthrough to replay it.

1. Open Profile in the role view you want to explore.
2. Choose Guided Walkthrough or Resume Walkthrough.
3. Choose Start Fresh if you want to restart the guide from the beginning instead of resuming. This resets only the walkthrough position, not your learning progress or account data.
4. Close the guide or press Escape to pause. Wait for any progress-saving message to finish, and use the displayed recovery action if saving fails.
