# Add custom profile fields
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, user profiles show their name, email, date they joined, and when
|
||
|
|
they were last active. You can also add custom profile fields like country
|
||
|
|
of residence, birthday, manager, Twitter handle, and more.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Custom profile fields are always optional, and do not appear in users'
|
||
|
|
profiles until they fill them out.
|
||
|
