Account and reading preferences

Use Settings to make Gideon recognizable and comfortable to read. Hosted Gideon keeps a shared visual identity while allowing personal reading preferences.

Identity

Under Account, set your name for greetings. The username is an attribution label for things you create, not a login identity. Set an assistant name if you want Gideon to introduce itself differently. Save each control and confirm the saved value.

Restart onboarding only when you want to repeat the introduction; it clears the stored name used by that flow.

Hosted reading preferences

Open Reading preferences to choose light, dark, or automatic appearance, content width, and navigation visibility. Automatic appearance follows your device. These reading choices apply in the current browser. Reduced motion follows the device setting.

Choose Show all available pages if you prefer the full navigation instead of progressive disclosure.

Self-hosted design controls

Self-hosted Design also offers color schemes, typography and scale, backdrop and motion, density, shape, and saved themes. Inspect changes in both light and dark modes. Deleting a saved theme removes that saved choice; it is different from temporarily choosing another theme.

Sign-in boundaries

Hosted sign-in belongs to your Gideon account. The self-hosted account panel can offer password sign-in and two-factor authentication for a gateway you operate. Do not apply local gateway authentication instructions to a hosted account.
