|
|
|
|
personal preference settings for new users joining the

organization. This can help seamlessly customize the Zulip experience

to match how the organization in question is using Zulip.

Existing users' preferences cannot be modified by administrators, and
|
|
|
|
|
users will be able to customize their own settings once they
|
|
|
|
|
join. Administrators can customize defaults for all personal
|
|
|
|
|
preference settings, including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Display settings, including:
|
|
|
|
|
* Default view ([Recent topics](/help/recent-topics) vs. [All messages](/help/reading-strategies#all-messages))
|
|
|
|
|
* [Light mode vs. dark mode](/help/night-mode)
|
|
|
|
|
* [Emoji theme](/help/emoji-and-emoticons#change-your-emoji-set)
|
|
|
|
|
* Notification settings, including:

|
