Use this task guide when you want to get into the app quickly and set your personal defaults before deeper project work.

## Steps

1. Open LaTeX Cloud Studio with the current authentication flow.
2. Open the settings page from the app navigation.
3. Update your display name if needed.
4. Choose a theme: `light`, `dark`, or `system`.
5. Select your preferred default compile engine.
6. Adjust syntax highlighting colors if you use them heavily.
7. Confirm your subscription and AI usage information if that matters for your workflow.

## What You Should Expect

* Your profile should be synchronized to the application after access is confirmed.
* Saved settings should persist to your account.
* If profile sync is temporarily delayed, refresh once and retry the settings page.

## If Something Goes Wrong

* If you cannot access the app, see [Fix Build and Access Issues](/product/tasks/fix-build-and-access-issues).
* If your project opens but your settings look wrong, revisit [Account & Settings](/product/account-and-settings).
