Settings overview
Settings is where you manage everything that isn't a document — your profile, your organization's people and policies, your company's configuration.
Where to find it
In the top-right corner of any page, click your avatar (your initials or profile picture, displayed inside a small circle next to the notifications bell and the help icon). The avatar overlay menu opens directly below the avatar. Click Settings in that menu (it has a gear icon to the left of the label).
The Settings page loads, with a three-tier navigation pane on the left and the active page's content on the right.
In a prior version of Mod AI, Settings, People, and Approvals each had their own left-sidebar entry. Those entries were removed. If you're used to looking on the left, look top-right instead — the avatar menu is the only way in.
The three tiers
| Tier | What's in it | Who can change it |
|---|---|---|
| My Settings | Your personal profile, password, notification preferences, default company. Affects only your account. | You |
| Organization | Settings that apply across every company under your organization — members of the org, organization-wide roles, organization-level configuration. | Org admins |
| Company | Settings for the currently-selected company (entity) — company profile, members of this company, company-level features and feature flags, approval policies, hidden modules. | Company admins |
The tier a setting lives in tells you its blast radius: a My Settings change affects nobody else; an Organization change affects every user in every entity; a Company change affects only users of that one company.

Folded routes (formerly left-sidebar entries)
These surfaces moved under Settings. Their docs still live in their original sections, but you'll find the actual UI under one of the three tiers:
| Surface | Tier | Doc home |
|---|---|---|
| Your profile | My Settings → Profile | Manage your profile |
| Notification preferences | My Settings → Notifications | Manage your profile |
| Approval delegations | My Settings → Delegations | Delegating approvals |
| Change password | My Settings → Change password | Manage your profile |
| Organization profile + config | Organization → General | Organization |
| Organization members + invitations | Organization → Members | Organization members |
| Companies within the org | Organization → Companies | Entities |
| Company profile + general | Company → General | Company general |
| People records | Company → People | People overview (UI is in Settings; docs are under People) |
| Approval groups | Company → Groups | How approvals work |
| Members of this company | Not yet self-serve — handled via implementation manager | Manage entity users |
| Roles + permissions | Company → Roles & permissions | Roles and permissions |
| Approval policies | Company → Approval policies | How approvals work (UI is in Settings; docs are under Approvals) |
The actual settings UI groups these into clean sentence-case sections under each tier.
Visual hierarchy
The Settings UI uses a quieter visual hierarchy than the rest of the app — smaller cards, less chrome, and whitespace-driven grouping. Sentence-case labels throughout. If you're used to the older Settings, the new layout has the same fields with less noise.
