Set up your personal workspace

After choosing Personal during signup, the main thing left to do is add your profile photo. Here's how.

Upload your photo when prompted

VERA prompts you to add a profile photo immediately after the workspace selection. Click the upload area and select an image from your device, or click Skip to add it later.

Adding an organisation later
